## Overview

Elixir Strings Light/Heavy 10-52 feature nickel-plated steel wrapped in an ultra-thin NANOWEB coating, delivering a bright, vibrant tone with exceptional corrosion resistance and tuning stability.

## Description

Amp up your guitar’s tone life with the same premium electric 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. Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Engineered to endure, these nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings boast a ton of bright, vibrant presence and dynamic punch. 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 electric guitar strings with our original POLYWEB Coating, which also feature a warmer tone. 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: Really good strings - These strings are really good. The D string is a little thicker than the average 10-52 set. They are a little quieter when playing unplugged. They also have this slight sticky feeling to them. But that could just be me. I’ve seen a few reviews stating string breakage. I’m playing on an evertune guitar and have had zero issues. The strings on an evertune are slightly tighter so that’s a good sign they didn’t snap.
Review: Favorite strings - Hold longer than e.g. Ernie Ball strings

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many weeks is the life about these ones? is this better d addario nyxl? i´m use ernie ball super slinky right now... worth the change?**
A: About 3 months, is the same quality as nyxl, worth the change

**Q: Excuse me, these are with 011 gauge, right?**
A: That is correct. These go from .011 to .049. Best, -Brian

**Q: what size strings would you guys recommend for a beginner that has no experience whatsoever with any kind of instrument Any answer I will appreciate**
A: The smaller the gauge, the thinner the strings are. Usually, people refer to them as "9s, 10s, 11s and sometimes 12s." That refers to the high E string (the smallest one) at 0.009mm thick, 0.10mm thick, 0.11mm etc... If you're a beginner, 9s will be the easiest to play, but you may be better off using 10s right from the start so you can build up some strength. But you don't want playing to be uncomfortable. To be honest, the best way to learn and to gain finger strength would be by playing acoustic guitar

**Q: Would the heavy ones work good on a hollow body guitar?**
A: Yah, they should. Are you upping or changing gauge? If so the heavier gauge might throw off your guitar set up. I use the 11's or 12's in standard on everything from my tele to my acoustic, so they should sound and work well. Just make sure you're set up to handle whatever gauge you throw at it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite strings
*by L***K on December 19, 2025*

Hold longer than e.g. Ernie Ball strings

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A value for the incredible longevity
*by B***E on June 11, 2020*

These strings have a slightly different feel than a traditional uncoated string, so they take a little getting used to, but the longevity is amazing. After a few weeks of playing, I have gotten accustomed to the feel and am pleased that the required string changes are so infrequent. The tone is slightly different than a traditional string, but this is a small tradeoff for the incredibly long life. I would describe the tone as less metallic and less resonant. With traditional strings, I can get 5 star tone for about 1 week but I can get 4.5 star tone for months out of these. These are the only strings that I buy and the only reason that I would buy traditional strings wlould be for applications when absolute best sound quality is required (big time recording session or something of that nature). Even though the price per pack is higher, these strings are a value and are great for home use, bar gigging and almost every other situation.
