The Elixir 12050 Polyweb strings are a light-gauge set (.010–.046) built for electric guitar, with nickel-plated steel wrap wire and Elixir's original POLYWEB® coating technology. Where most coated strings only treat the outer surface, Elixir's coating wraps the entire string — including the gaps between the windings — which is where gunk and sweat tend to accumulate and kill tone on conventional sets.
The POLYWEB coating gives these strings a noticeably slick, fast feel underhand, which cuts down on finger squeak and makes longer playing sessions easier on your fingers. The tone leans warm, with a smooth, broken-in character right out of the package. Anti-Rust Plating on the plain steel strings extends the life of the entire set, not just the wound strings.
If you find yourself changing strings constantly — or if humidity, sweat, or heavy gigging tends to kill your tone quickly — this set is worth a serious look. They hold up longer than conventional uncoated strings, and the .010–.046 light gauge suits a wide range of playing styles and electric guitar setups.
