With a precise HD Light gauge (013-053), they deliver a bright, clear tone that lasts significantly longer than other coated or uncoated strings. Engineered for durability and rich sound, these strings are a top choice for serious acoustic players seeking extended playtime and professional-grade performance. ## Description Strum confidently with the same premium acoustic guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands' coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set. Who wouldn't love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Engineered to endure, these acoustic strings constructed with phosphor bronze wrap wire boast a dynamic balance of rich, full-bodied tone and sparkling high-end clarity. Compared to our original POLYWEB Coating, the ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, "uncoated" feel. For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of strings with our original POLYWEB Coating. The 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with POLYWEB Coating, for example, might be a good fit if you want a more robust and rounded tone. On the other end of the tone spectrum, our 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver a brighter, crisper tone alongside the same traditional feel as these phosphor bronze strings. Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings. For a more in-depth look at what makes our strings so special, scroll to the branded info further down the page. Elixir Strings: Great tone. Long life. Review: Have a horrible metallic tone - Very expensive. Have a horrible metallic tone. I did not like the strings. Also very hard on the fingers. Review: Best strings I've ever purchased - I've been playing the guitar for some time now, however only as a hobby/bedroom guitarist. However, I can say that these strings have certainly impressed me. After putting them on, they held a tune for a awesome amount of time. These strings also sound f***ing great - a whole, chirpy sound. By far the best strings on the market for metal acoustic strings. I will be trying Elixir strings on my Les Paul too and will update this review! To conclude, I simply won't be buying any other brand ever again. ## Features - NEW!

Mi acústica tiene la caja pequeña y aún así con estas cuerdas el sonido es espectacular, un poco más agudo pero muy bonito. Al principio la afinación varía mucho pero una vez las cuerdas se acomodan la variación es minima. Para evitar sobre estiramientos aconsejo hacer una primera afinación medio tono por debajo de lo habitual, y tocar un rato para que se acomoden poco a poco. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elixir Strings, Acoustic Guitar Strings, Phosphor Bronze with NANOWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Rich and Full Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, HD Light 13-53 - Elixir Strings, Acoustic Guitar Strings, Phosphor Bronze with NANOWEB Coating, Longest-Lasting Rich and Full Tone with Comfortable Feel, 6 String Set, Light 12-53 - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/155894505-elixir-strings-16182-acoustic-phosphor-bronze-guitar-strings-with-nanoweb](https://www.desertcart.at/products/155894505-elixir-strings-16182-acoustic-phosphor-bronze-guitar-strings-with-nanoweb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
