Elixir 11025 Polyweb 80/20 Bronze 11-52 Custom Light

Elixir 11025 Polyweb acoustic guitar strings deliver a characteristically warm tone. Thanks to their special POLYWEB coating, they offer an extended lifespan by protecting the winding from corrosion and dirt. You will appreciate Elixir 11025 Polyweb strings with Custom Light (.011–.052) tension for their smooth surface, which reduces unwanted finger squeak during play. They are perfect for guitarists who prefer a traditional sound and longer intervals between string changes.

Long lifespan thanks to POLYWEB treatment

Elixir strings use POLYWEB coating technology, which is the key to their extended lifespan and specific sound profile. This polymer layer completely wraps the string winding to protect it from external elements such as sweat, finger oils, and dust. This prevents dirt from building up in the gaps of the winding, which is the main cause of lost tonal clarity and shortened lifespan in standard strings. The result is a consistent tone for longer. Additionally, the smooth surface contributes to more comfortable playing and limits typical finger squeak when sliding along the fretboard.

Warm tone and reliable construction

The tonal character of these strings comes from the combination of materials used and their construction. The foundation consists of a steel core and 80/20 bronze winding. This bronze alloy is known for its bright and resonant sound. The POLYWEB coating warms this sound slightly, giving it a fuller character that resembles broken-in strings. The Custom Light (.011–.052) tension represents a compromise between the easy playability of thinner strings and the full sound of heavier bass strings, which you will appreciate during fingerpicking and flatpicking alike.
