Elixir 80/20 Bronze Nanoweb Custom Light 11 - 52 Acoustic Strings

If you’re chasing brightness, clarity, and longevity from your acoustic guitar strings, look no further than the Elixir 80/20 Bronze Nanoweb Custom Light (11–52) set. Designed for players who want a crisp, articulate sound without sacrificing playability, this set delivers tonal brilliance that goes the distance—literally.

Wound with an 80/20 bronze alloy (80% copper, 20% zinc), these strings offer a rich, shimmering top end with plenty of definition—perfect for players who want their playing to cut through, whether on stage, in the studio, or around a campfire. The custom light gauge (11–52) hits the sweet spot between finesse and fullness, ideal for expressive fingerstyle work and dynamic strumming alike.

But it’s Elixir’s legendary Nanoweb coating that sets this set apart. Engineered to wrap the entire string—including the winding gaps—this ultra-thin, protective layer keeps sweat, grime, and tone-killing gunk at bay, helping your strings stay fresher for longer. That means less time restringing, more time playing, and a tone that lasts gig after gig.

The smooth, slightly slick feel under the fingers reduces squeak and friction, making these strings a favourite among players who record often or want a softer, more controlled playing experience. Add in anti-rust plating on the plain strings, and you’ve got a set of strings that’s as tough as it is toneful.

Here at Musicmaker, we’ve seen countless players swear by Elixir—and for good reason. If you’re looking for a set that performs beautifully straight out of the pack and keeps delivering long after the rest have dulled, this is your go-to.
