Elixir 80/20 Bronze Polyweb Light 12 - 53 Acoustic Strings

There’s something lovely about a set of acoustic strings that already feels settled in from the first few chords. The Elixir 80/20 Bronze POLYWEB Light Acoustic Strings (.012–.053) are designed to give you exactly that: a warm, smooth, “played-in” character combined with the famously long-lasting performance that has made Elixir strings such a favourite with acoustic players.

The 80/20 bronze wrap wire provides a beautifully musical acoustic voice, while the POLYWEB coating gives these strings their particularly smooth, slick feel. Compared with Elixir's thinner NANOWEB coating, POLYWEB has a softer feel under the fingers and takes some of the sharp edge off that ultra-bright brand-new-string sound. The result is warm, comfortable and immediately familiar.

That coating isn't just about feel either. It helps keep sweat, dirt and other tone-killing debris from accumulating between the string windings, allowing the strings to retain their sound for considerably longer than conventional uncoated strings. Elixir also uses Anti-Rust protection on the plain steel strings, helping the entire set last rather than only protecting the wound strings.

The Light .012–.053 gauge is a brilliant everyday choice, providing enough tension and body for confident strumming while remaining comfortable for fingerstyle, picking and general acoustic playing.

At Musicmaker, Elixir strings are an easy shout for players who'd rather spend their evening playing the guitar than restringing it. The 80/20 Bronze POLYWEB Lights are smooth, warm and dependable – put them on, play them in and enjoy them for a seriously long time.
