Anti-rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set. Who wouldn't love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Engineered to endure, these nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings boast a ton of bright, vibrant presence and dynamic punch. For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of electric guitar strings with our POLYWEB Coating, which also feature a warmer tone. If you prefer the sound of uncoated strings along with a more natural feel, try our new OPTIWEB Coating. Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings. Elixir Strings: Great tone. Long life.
