Description
DESCRIPTION A guitar string is made of a metal core (usually steel) and includes a metal winding on the heavier gauges. As you play your guitar or bass, the uncoated strings will quickly accumulate oils, dirt, sweat and bits of skin that get trapped between the windings. This lack of coating hastens the corrosion of the metal and begins to 'deaden' the sound of the string. Elixir Electric Nickel Plated Steel Strings with OPTIWEB Coating give you the performance of a natural string -- that crisp tone, natural feel and playable grip you know and love -- without sacrificing the signature long-lasting tone life of Elixir Strings. FEATURES OPTIWEB Coating provides a natural feel Coating is actually a microscopic sleeve that protects the string Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set Last 3-5 times longer than uncoated strings Less time changing strings and more time playing SET 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 19002 Super Light .009 .011 .016 .024 .032 .042 19052 Light .010 .013 .017 .026 .036 .046
