Product details
Description
Upgrade your acoustic guitar performance with genuine USA-imported Elixir strings designed for musicians seeking exceptional longevity and a comfortable playing experience. Constructed with 80/20 bronze wrap wire consisting of eighty percent copper and twenty percent zinc, these strings deliver a crisp, bright initial voice balanced by Elixirs signature thick polyweb coating.
This proprietary polymer barrier protects not only the outer string surface but also seals the microscopic gaps between windings where debris, sweat, and oil typically cause tone deadening. Designed in a custom light gauge ranging from zero point zero eleven to zero point zero fifty-two inches, this six-string set reduces finger squeak and softens harsh high frequencies for a warm, played-in acoustic tone.
Enhanced anti-rust plating on the plain steel strings ensures consistent brilliance across the entire set, letting you enjoy professional-grade quality and extended playing time between string changes.
How to use
- Unwind and remove old strings from your acoustic guitar one at a time or all at once.
- Clean the fretboard and bridge area.
- Insert each new Elixir custom light string through the bridge pin hole, secure with the bridge pin, wind around the tuning machine post, bring up to standard pitch, and stretch gently to stabilize tuning.

first time trying elixir
decided to switch from standard strings and tried these out on my acoustic. honestly the polyweb coating feels super smooth and takes away that annoying finger squeak when sliding up and down. tone is quite warm and balanced without being too metallic. really impressed with how long they hold up.

FAQs
Which is better, 80/20 or phosphor bronze?
Eighty-twenty bronze strings offer a crisp, bright tone with a warm character provided by the polyweb coating, whereas phosphor bronze typically provides a slightly warmer, more complex tone with extra midrange presence.
What is the difference between 11-52 and 12-53 strings?
Custom light 11-52 strings offer slightly lower tension, making them easier to bend and more comfortable for fingerstyle or extended playing sessions, while 12-53 light gauge strings provide higher volume and heavier projection.
How to spot fake Elixir strings?
Authentic Elixir strings feature precise packaging details, high-quality holographic or printed branding, consistent coating texture without flaking, and anti-rust treated plain steel strings that resist tarnishing.
Are these Elixir guitar strings authentic and imported to India?
