Elixir Nanoweb 16077 Acoustic Guitar Strings (12-56) Phosphor Bronze

The coating protects the whole string, including the gaps between the windings where dirt and sweat build up, and Elixir says it guards against corrosion, rust, sweaty hands and high humidity. The plain steels are anti-rust plated. Elixir notes a smooth feel with reduced finger squeak, and the box describes the tone as rich and full. Each set comes in Elixir's anti-corrosion package.

What it fits

• Six-string steel-string acoustic guitars
• Not for nylon-string classical guitars
