Are all coated guitar strings created equal?
In a word, no. Elixir® Strings are coated in a unique and patented way to protect wound strings from contaminants and corrosion. A flexible, strong, yet micro-thin polymer tube defends the Critical Zone of Tone™ from invading enemies. You can think of it like a heat shrink tube that’s thinner than a human hair. Nothing (including the coating) gets between the windings. The result? Strings that sound and feel their best three to five times longer than ordinary strings.
