Description

ELECTRIC STRINGS WITH ELIXIR® TECHNOLOGY FOR LONGEST-LASTING TONE

Play for longer without compromising tone and feel with electric guitar strings trusted by experienced players worldwide. Elixir® Strings protects the whole string - not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where dirt, sweat and gunk build up killing your tone. Anti-Rust Plating protects the plain steel strings ensuring long-lasting tone for the entire set. Elixir Strings retain their out-of-the-box tone longer than any other brand’s strings.

Electric guitar strings constructed with nickel-plated steel wrap wire
Played for the same crisp tone as an uncoated string
Natural feel from featherweight OPTIWEB® Technology gives you a firm grip, putting you in control of bends, vibrato and sustain
Exclusive technology protects against common corrosion and rust, sweaty acid hands and high humidity
Long-lasting tone keeps your guitar sounding great, gig after gig, session after session

ARTISTS WHO USE ELXIR STRINGS

Marcus King

I recommend them to everyone. I like how long they last. The strings still feel fresh even after the guitar has been siting there.

Wayne Sermon

I use Elixir Strings in the studio and on stage. They always feel right and complement any guitar I use. They're the perfect string.

Santi Torres

I love Elixirs simply because they sound the best and last the longest! I use them on all my guitars, acoustic and electric.

Massimo Varini

Once you try Elixirs, you can't go back! Elixir Strings have unbeatable durability, an awesome sound and are really comfortable to play.

Ando San

Straight out of the box they are playable. The coating is amazing...doesn't hurt my fingers and most of all the tone is a vibe.

Jimena Fosada

I feel like a rockstar with Elixir Strings whether I'm recording, performing or jamming by myself. Their sound is what I want to hear every time.

Zach Comtois

No matter which guitar I pick up, or how long I’ve been on tour, Elixirs always sound and feel brand new. I never have to worry.

Marc Seal

Elixir Strings always sound stellar and really last! Because of the coating, they always feel like a new set of strings to me. Honestly, I love them.

Kenny Serane

Changing strings takes time away from making music. When a brand can make you play longer, it’s a win-win for your creativity.

Cameron Cooper

Discovering Elixir Optiwebs was a breakthrough for me! They are harmonically rich and last for months. I trust them.

Abigail Zachko

Elixir Strings are very responsive and they stay fresh for a long time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you make guitar strings WITH TECHNOLOGY that feel like NATURAL strings?

Yes. Our OPTIWEB Technology Electric Guitar Strings play like a natural string but last like Elixir Strings.

Players that use natural electric guitar strings love their traditional sound and feel but often sacrifice tone life. There’s no need for that compromise any longer with Elixir Electric Strings with OPTIWEB Technology.

The exclusive OPTIWEB Technology not only protects the guitar string from the elements for longer tone life, but also allows the string to vibrate with less damping – for a crisp tone with a firm, natural grip that puts you in control of bends, vibrato and sustain.
