Coated Electric Guitar Strings are designed with a protective layer over the metal wire, to extend their lifespan and prevent corrosion. They generally offer a somewhat warmer, more muted tone than uncoated strings, and are ideal for players who want to reduce finger noise and extend the life of their strings. Musicmaker carries strings from Elixir, D'Addario, and Ernie Ball and more, and we offer a range of coated electric guitar string sets in various gauges, to suit a variety of playing styles and preferences.
