Elixir 16102 Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze 13-56 Medium

Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze acoustic guitar strings offer a long-lasting, consistent tone. Thanks to patented NANOWEB technology, an ultra-thin coating protects the strings, preventing dirt and sweat from building up in the gaps of the winding. The phosphor bronze material adds richness and warmth to your sound. You will appreciate these medium-tension strings (Medium .013–.056) for their full expression and smooth surface that makes playing easy.

NANOWEB technology for longer life

Each string features an ultra-thin NANOWEB protective coating that covers the entire surface, including the gaps in the winding. This treatment acts as a shield against corrosion and dirt, which normally dampens vibrations and shortens tone life. As a result, the strings retain their bright, lively sound significantly longer than uncoated strings. The smooth surface also reduces unwanted finger squeak when moving along the fretboard.

Sound characteristics and playability

The combination of phosphor bronze winding and a steel core creates a rich and full sound with pronounced bass and sparkling highs. The medium tension (Medium, .013–.056) provides higher volume and longer sustain, which players with a more dynamic playing style will appreciate. Firmer string tension contributes to precise intonation and tuning stability. The strings feature a classic ball end, ensuring quick and easy replacement on most acoustic guitars.
