Elixir's 11150 is a set of 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings designed specifically for 12-string guitars. The wrap wire is made from 80/20 bronze — 80% copper and 20% zinc — which gives these strings their characteristic warm, full-bodied character. These are a light gauge set, running .010–.047 on the primary strings, making them a comfortable choice for extended playing sessions on a 12-string.
The defining feature here is Elixir's POLYWEB® coating, which wraps the entire string — not just the outer surface, but also the gaps between the windings where gunk, sweat, and corrosion typically build up first. The result is a noticeably longer string life compared to uncoated strings. The POLYWEB coating also gives these strings a slick, fast feel underhand and helps reduce finger squeak, which is especially handy when recording. The plain steel strings in the set feature Anti-Rust Plating to keep the full set sounding consistent for as long as possible.
