These are Elixir's Phosphor Bronze Nanoweb acoustic guitar strings in Light/Medium gauge (.012–.056), designed for 6-string acoustic guitars. Phosphor bronze wrap wire gives you a warm, full tone with some sparkle on top — and the Nanoweb coating keeps that tone going a lot longer than uncoated strings typically would.
What sets Elixir apart is how they coat the string. Unlike brands that only coat the outer surface, Elixir's Nanoweb coating wraps the entire string — including the gaps between the windings where dirt, sweat, and oils tend to accumulate. The result is a string that stays sounding fresh much longer between changes. The coating itself is ultra-thin, so it still feels close to an uncoated string under your fingers. Plain steel strings in the set are also anti-rust plated for added protection across the whole set.
The Light/Medium gauge (.012–.056) sits between a standard light and a medium set — offering a bit more tension and body than a straight .012 light without going all the way to the fuller resistance of a medium gauge. It's a popular choice for players who want a fuller sound or who strum with more force.
