Long-lasting Natural Sounding Strings

Elixir strings have been a standout in the field of acoustic and electric strings for years. As the only company that coats the whole string, Elixir has created some of the longest lasting strings in the industry, which means more time playing and less time changing strings. With their Optiweb technology, Elixir has created their thinnest coating yet, giving you an essentially undetectable layer of protection between your fingers and the string. The feel and sound are natural, the tone crisp and present. Aimed at players who want the same feel and sound as an uncoated string, the Optiweb electric guitar strings are specially engineered to allow the string to vibrate freely. They also offer a precise grip on the strings, which Sweetwater players appreciate for bending and wide vibrato techniques. If you want strings that last while still enjoying the experience of untreated strings, check out the Elixir Optiwebs.

Elixir Electric Optiweb Light-gauge Strings Features:

  • Gauges: 010 .013 .017 .026. 036 .046
  • Incredibly thin Optiweb coating for natural feel and tone
  • Extra-long life means less changing and more playing

Reviews

Elixir Optiweb
I put this on a Les Paul and a Telecaster about a month ago.
Tuned up well and intonation was spot on no adjustments needed.
I enjoy the feel of these strings right off the bat. Slightly slick, smoother than non coated.
Brand new, there is a little bit less high mids than non coated but still sparkle in the highs. I feel the need to make adjustments on my amp though.

One month in I was expecting them to darken in sound but they still sound like when I first put them on.
To me thats a plus. These sound great on both humbucker (8k) and singlecoil (8k) guitars.
I was expecting them to feel a little tighter being coated, but I don't feel any extra tension to non coated (Dadarrio xl).
How long they will last I don't know but I normally start hearing a dulling on non coated strings about a month in and these have no signs of that.
I would suggest to try these.
