Elixir Phosphor Bronze Nanoweb Medium 13-56 Acoustic Strings

When you want your acoustic guitar to roar with warmth, clarity, and staying power, Elixir’s Phosphor Bronze Nanoweb strings in Medium gauge are the answer. These aren’t for the faint-hearted—this set is made for players who dig in deep, strum hard, and demand tone that cuts through a room and holds together under pressure.

Crafted with a phosphor bronze wrap wire, these strings offer a warmer, richer voice than their 80/20 cousins. Expect sweet low-end, rounded mids, and a smooth top that still shimmers—perfect for singer-songwriters, solo performers, and rhythm players who want a fuller presence behind every chord.

But the real secret weapon is Elixir’s signature Nanoweb coating—a whisper-thin protective layer that shields every string from the skin oils, sweat, and dirt that usually wear strings down fast. That means your tone stays vibrant and studio-fresh for weeks, sometimes months. No dull, lifeless sound halfway through a session. No last-minute string changes before a gig. Just dependable, consistent performance every time you pick up your guitar.

At .013–.056, this Medium gauge set gives you extra volume, sustain, and resistance—ideal for flatpickers, strummers, or acoustic lead players who want more string under their fingers. They respond with bold authority and serious dynamic range, making them a favourite for guitars that need a bit of muscle to really sing.

Here at Musicmaker, we’ve heard from countless players over the decades who swear by these strings. Whether it’s the long life, the reliability, or just that smooth, powerful tone—they’ve earned their spot as a trusted top-shelf choice.
