Special Features: Gauges 12-16-24-32-42-53. Elixirs are the first major innovation in strings in over forty years and deliver what they promise: great tone and long life no matter what you put them on or how often you play.Elixir Strings are covered with an ultra-thin, space-age polymer tube that contacts the string on the tops of the windings only. This leaves the all-important winding-to-winding-to-core space free from the fear of the enemies of tone!Most players report that Elixir Strings keep sounding great three to five times longer than ordinary strings.
