Elixir 11152 Nanoweb 80/20 Bronze 12 String Acoustic Guitar Strings, Light (10-47)

Twelve-string tone is glorious… until your fingertips start protesting or your tuning slips halfway through a set. Enter the Elixir 11152 Nanoweb set: built specifically to handle the shimmering demands of a twelve-string acoustic while keeping things light, comfortable, and—most importantly—consistent.

At a gentle .010–.047 gauge, this set strikes that beautiful balance between playability and sparkle. The top end stays bright and punchy, your octave strings chime with clarity, and the tension doesn’t feel like a wrestling match with your guitar. Whether you're layering lush studio textures, strumming airy folk ballads, or coaxing out some vintage jangle, these strings bring a lively presence to every note.

What truly sets this set apart is Elixir’s famed Nanoweb coating—a near-invisible layer that keeps sweat, dirt, and corrosion at bay without muting the natural tone. It’s a godsend on a twelve-string, where replacing strings can be more of a weekend project than a quick job. With the 11152s, you’ll spend less time restringing and more time actually playing, gigging, or recording.

They feel slick but not slippery, they sound crisp but not brittle, and they last way longer than traditional strings. And here at Musicmaker, where we’ve helped many a weary-eyed guitarist through their first twelve-string restring, we always keep these Elixirs within reach—for good reason.
