Elixir Electric Guitar Strings With OPTIWEB Coating, Super Light (.009-.042)

The Elixir Electric guitar strings with OPTIWEB coating deliver an unrivaled combination of crisp tone, natural feel and extended tone life. Thanks to Elixir’s OPTIWEB coating, these nickel-plated steel strings let musicians experience the performance of an uncoated string, with a familiar tone and grip, minus the hassle of frequent changes. Unlike competitors’ coatings, OPTIWEB is engineered to minimize string damping for vibrant tone and precise control over bends, vibrato and sustain.

OPTIWEB Coating: Liberating Tone and Touch

Elixir’s innovative OPTIWEB coating frees strings to vibrate fully, resulting in a dynamic tone rife with harmonic richness and clarity. This high-performance, micro-thin coating also gives strings a textured feel ideal for intricate techniques. OPTIWEB strikes a balance between the slick POLYWEB coating and smooth NANOWEB coating, delivering Elixir’s most natural-feeling and -sounding electric guitar strings yet.

Anti-Rust Plating: Longer Tone Life

While OPTIWEB protects strings during play, Elixir’s Anti-Rust Plating treatment shields plain steel strings from corrosion. This plating extends overall tone life and consistency across the entire set. Players can enjoy the familiar tone and feel of a new set of strings for far longer than conventional strings permit.

Premium Construction

Beneath their high-tech coatings, Elixir Electric Guitar Strings with OPTIWEB coating boast premium nickel-plated steel construction. Their Super Light gauge—.009, .011, .016, .024, .032, .042—provides a slinky feel and balanced tension suitable for diverse musical styles. Overall, these strings give musicians more quality playing time between changes, with the tone and touch of natural strings.
