Extended Life Never Sounded So Good Sweetwater is an Authorized Elixir Strings + Snark Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty Snark ST-8 Super Tight Chromatic Tuner + Elixir Strings 12052 Value Bundle .010-.046 Light Gauge Electric Guitar Strings, Nickel-plated Steel Headstock Instrument Tuner with High-definition Screen, Rotating Display, Flat Tuning Function, Rechargeable Battery, and Pitch Calibration Extended Life Never Sounded So Good In addition to sounding great, Elixir Nanoweb electric guitar strings' coating helps keep them sounding fresh for much longer than traditional strings. The company's proprietary GORE-TEX coating protects the outer windings and inner gaps of every wound string to seal out corrosive sweat and environmental debris. The result? A crisp tone and lived-in feel every time you plug in. This coating even reduces excess friction for added comfort under the fingers. Fewer string changes mean having to buy strings less often. So, if you want to get the most out of your prized axe, grab a set of Elixir Nanoweb electric guitar strings from Sweetwater! How long do Elixir Nanoweb strings last? The secret behind every long-lasting set of Elixir Nanoweb electric guitar strings is a thin GORE-TEX waterproof fluoropolymer membrane. This coating envelops the entirety of each wound string — even between the windings — to protect them from the corrosive chemicals in your hands while giving them a smooth feel, a natural sound, and extra-long string life. How long? It's not uncommon for casual players to go an entire year on a set of Nanowebs before noticing a degradation in tone or tuning integrity. Of course, your mileage will vary based on your performance schedule, practice routine, and personal pH balance. How do Elixir Nanowebs stack up? Thanks to a barely-there GORE-TEX coating, Elixir Nanoweb electric guitar strings sit happily between Polywebs and Optiwebs in terms of tone and feel. This gives them a bright tone and lived-in feel that will be quite familiar to players of traditional electric strings, all while dramatically extending the time between string changes. Which Elixir strings are right for me? Proper string gauge has a lot to do with your playing style and the scale length and setup of your guitar. That said, Elixir gives some general guidelines for choosing the perfect gauge for your needs: Lighter hand, lighter gauge: Fingerstylists may want to start with a smaller gauge, while heavy-handed pickers and palm muters may wish to opt for a heavier set. Smaller scale, heavier gauge: Short-scale electric guitars (less than 24.75 inches) often need heavier strings than their standard-scale counterparts. Vintage axe, vintage load: Light and standard string gauges are recommended for classic instruments. Heavier gauges may cause damage to the neck and bridge. Bulk up for dropped tunings: Down tunings and custom tunings may require heavier gauges to keep proper tension. It all comes down to taste: Guitarists of all genres have used light, heavy, and hybrid string sets throughout the ages. Experiment with multiple sets to find the perfect Elixir strings for your tastes.
