Elixir 12052 Nanoweb Light Electric Guitar Nickel-Plated Steel Strings (010-046)

Elixir Electric Nickel-Plated Steel Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating

Light Gauge .010-.046  |  Bright Tone & Smooth Feel

Elixir Electric Nickel-Plated Steel Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Technology are designed to deliver a bright, articulate electric guitar tone with a smooth, comfortable feel. Built for electric guitar players of all levels, these strings are suitable for practice, recording, rehearsals, live performance, punchy riffs, bends, vibrato, slides, and solos.

Elixir Strings protect the whole string, not only the outer surface but also the gaps between the windings where dirt, sweat, and buildup can affect tone. The ultra-thin NANOWEB coating helps keep the strings sounding and feeling fresh for longer, while Anti-Rust Plating helps protect the plain steel strings for long-lasting tone across the entire set.

This Light set offers a balanced feel with comfortable playability and solid response, making it a versatile choice for players who want smooth bending, confident fretting, and bright nickel-plated steel tone.
