Strum confidently with the same premium acoustic guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. 

Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings, like these Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings with NANOWEB coating, coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface, but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set.

Engineered to endure, these acoustic strings constructed with phosphor bronze wrap wire boast a dynamic balance of rich, full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity. Compared to Elixir's original POLYWEB Coating, the ultrathin NANOWEB coating allows a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel. 

For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of strings with their original POLYWEB Coating. The 80/20 bronze acoustic guitar strings with POLYWEB coating, for example, might be a good fit if you want a more robust and rounded tone. On the other end of the tone spectrum, Elixir's 80/20 bronze acoustic guitar strings with NANOWEB coating deliver a brighter, crisper tone alongside the same traditional feel as these phosphor bronze strings.

Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings.

Ernie Ball’s Low G Ukulele Strings transform your concert or tenor uke’s tuning with the power of a low G, resulting in an ascending tuning that feels far more natural for crossover guitarists.
