Elixir 11050 Polyweb 80/20 Bronze 12-53 Light

Elixir 11050 Polyweb strings are designed for acoustic guitars and deliver a characteristically warm tone. Thanks to the special POLYWEB coating, they have an extended lifespan as they are protected from dirt and corrosion. The 80/20 bronze winding combined with a steel core contributes to a full, resonant sound. The string gauge is Light, which you'll appreciate for comfortable playing and note bending.

POLYWEB technology for a longer lifespan

Each string is coated with a thin, protective POLYWEB layer. This technology protects the winding from sweat, moisture, and tiny dirt particles that cause corrosion and shorten the life of regular strings. The result is a consistent tone for a longer time and less need for frequent changes. The coating also reduces unwanted finger squeak when sliding along the strings, contributing to smoother and more comfortable playing.

Material and sound character

The core of these strings is a steel core with 80/20 bronze winding, which is an alloy of 80% copper and 20% zinc. This combination of materials is known for its bright, yet warm and full sound with pronounced bass frequencies. The round wound style further enhances the clarity and resonance of the tone. A ball end on each string ensures easy and quick installation on most standard acoustic guitar bridges.
