## Overview

Elixir Strings Acoustic Guitar Strings feature an 80/20 bronze wrap wire combined with proprietary POLYWEB coating technology that protects the entire string from corrosion and wear. This results in the longest-lasting warm tone with a comfortable, slick feel ideal for professional and passionate guitarists alike. Manufactured in the USA and trusted by millions, these extra light 10-47 gauge strings deliver consistent, bright, and rich sound with reduced maintenance, perfect for extended playing sessions.

## Description

Jam on and on (and on) with the same premium acoustic guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any Other string available. Unlike Other string brands, Elixir strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in Other Brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set. Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Crafted to last, these acoustic strings constructed with 80/20 (80% copper, 20% zinc) bronze wrap wire boast a warm, robust tone that sounds “played-in” right out of the pack while still retaining a remarkably clear mid-range presence. The POLYWEB Coating brings a soft, slick, and fast feel to the playing experience. For a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel, try our ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating. The 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings with NANOWEB Coating, for example, might be a good fit, especially if you’re also looking for a crisper, brighter, and more Vibrant tone. For strings that strike a dynamic balance between full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity, our phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings deliver exactly that alongside our NANOWEB coating’s more traditional feel. Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir strings. For a more in-depth look at what makes our strings so special, scroll to the branded info further down the page. Elixir strings: great tone. Long life.

Review: Saw the Scott Grove rant and curiosity got the better of me.... - If you're reading this, chances are you know about Scott Grove, the YouTube guitar instructor and opinionated ranter. Some love him, some hate him, and I don't care either way -- I take what's useful and leave the rest. Well, ol' Scott says these are the ONLY decent guitar strings on the market, which is a pretty strong claim, so I decided they were worth a try, and I'd decide for myself. I can't honestly say these are the only good strings on the market. I've used other good ones, and I've particularly liked D'addario Phosphor Bronze. But dang, these are really good strings. Grove likes them because he says his corrosive sweat destroys other strings in a matter of hours, or sooner, while these never need changing no matter how sweaty his gigs are. Well, I'll take his word on that, but I'm not a gigging guitarist, nor am I particularly sweaty. I just like these because they have a bright, full sound, they stay in tune like nobody's damn business, they minimize string noise, they feel great under my fingertips... and I hate, hate, hate changing strings. I'm going to keep these things on my Washburn EA20 for the foreseeable future, and if Grove is right, they may last for years. If that's true, I'll be an even happier camper. If not, well, I'm loving these anyway. I don't see any down side, except that they cost a few bucks more, but I'm glad to pay that if I get even double the string life, let alone the near-eternal string life that the very excitable Grove suggests. Oh, and if you haven't seen his video (and/or don't like his verbose and "unusual" style), he claims that Elixir Nanowebs are horrible, and only the Polywebs are any good. I can't vouch for that, but I can tell you that in this particular case, he was right about the Polywebs. My advice as always is to listen to everyone, take it all with a grain of salt, and decide what's best for your own fingers and your own sound.
Review: Top shelf for acoustic - Great strings. Bright and great for finger picking. They wear well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between nanoweb and polyweb caotings?**
A: Polyweb strings from Elixer are, imo, the Best Strings on the market. They do sound a bit different than plain strings (not as "brassy"?) But what you get in return is a sound not everyone around is playing. If you want plain string sound play nanowebs.  I like the slick feel, they almost feel soft" to my fingers which allows my playing time to at minimum double. These ploywebs last for ever...! I've gone through 3 sets of regular strings and I'm just now replacing the Elixers. Make up your own mind. I think they'll end up with a new customer.

**Q: Is the g string wound?**
A: No it's not.

**Q: How do these fair up on say a Martin D-12-28 guitar?**
A: Well overall Elixer Polyweb is the only strings i buy......i own a Gibson CL 20 and a Guild DC5 E; both Americannmade..and 2 rainsong 12 strings....Elixers sound Great on all and last a Long long time.

**Q: Csg102a yamaha student guitar  are these the right size and type? can someone tell me what size to buy?**
A: They are pricey for student but really good strings. The gauge is be right for a student, easy on the fingers though if your guitar is set up (at purchase) for heavy, they might buzz a bit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top shelf for acoustic
*by M***N on January 4, 2026*

Great strings. Bright and great for finger picking. They wear well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Refined Tone With Coating That Allows Me To Keep Guitar Within Arm's Reach
*by B***N on October 23, 2024*

Even though I know I should keep all of my acoustic guitars in their cases for their overall protection, specifically relating to temperature and humidity, I like having them out so when the urge hits to play, I can easily grab one. I've always heard good things about Elixir strings so I decided to give these 80/20's a try. Knowing that they come with a POLYWEB coating, I figured they're more conducive to the type of playing environment I keep my guitars in. They were really easy to string up and tuned to pitch after stretching and playing through a few times after they were on. The next day, I had to adjust the tuning of each string a little, but not by much. They kept their tuning overnight sitting out on my guitar stand. No complaints on the tone they bring to my guitar. Really pleased with the sound. I haven't had these on long enough to test the longevity of the coating though. Considering the sound, the POLYWEB coating, and a more than reasonable price, these Elixir strings are definitely worth a try ... especially if you're like me and have a habit of keeping your guitars within arm's reach.
