A flexible, strong, yet micro-thin polymer tube defends the critical zone of tone from invading enemies. Nothing (including the coating) gets between the windings.
Elixir strings with the original Nanoweb coating applied, sound great, last 3 to 5 times longer than ordinary strings, have the bright tone & punch of non-coated strings & feel like traditional strings.
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.
