Elixir Strings 11025 Polyweb 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings – .011-.052 Custom Light

Keep your acoustic guitar sounding fresh for much longer. Elixir Strings 11025 Polyweb 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings – .011-.052 Custom Light is a 80/20 Bronze with POLYWEB coating set from Elixir, in Custom Light gauge (.011–.052). The coating protects the strings from sweat, dirt and humidity, so the tone lasts far longer than plain uncoated strings.

Why customers choose it

• Lasts much longer: the coating protects the whole string – also the gaps between the windings where dirt, sweat and gunk build up and kill your tone.
• Warm, played-in sound: 80/20 bronze with POLYWEB gives a warm, robust tone that still keeps a clear mid-range.
• Slick, fast feel: the POLYWEB coating lets your fingers move quickly around the fretboard.
• Anti-Rust plain strings: the plain steel strings have Anti-Rust Plating, so the entire set keeps its tone.
• Made for hard conditions: protects against corrosion and rust, sweaty hands and high humidity – gig after gig, session after session.

Who it is for

Steel-string acoustic guitar players – beginners, students, worship and church musicians, home recording and live players. The lighter gauge is easier to press down, so it suits beginners and players with smaller hands. The coating is made to resist high humidity and sweaty hands.

Good to know

• Changing to a different gauge than your guitar had before may need a small setup (neck relief, action) for the best feel.
• The maker notes that packaging may vary.

What is the difference between NANOWEB, POLYWEB and OPTIWEB?

All three are Elixir coatings for long tone life. Elixir describes NANOWEB as smooth with a bright or rich tone, POLYWEB as slick and fast with a warm tone, and OPTIWEB as natural-feeling with a crisp tone like uncoated strings. This set uses POLYWEB.
