4 models to choose from:
With Elixir Strings' new OPTIWEB Coating, these nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings give you the performance of a natural string - that crisp tone, natural feel and playable grip you know and love - without sacrificing the signature long-lasting tone life of Elixir® Strings. Compared to POLYWEB® and NANOWEB® Coating, the OPTIWEB Coating offers the most natural and familiar feel. This lightweight coating allows the string to vibrate with less damping, while also having a firm grip, putting you in control of bends, vibrato and sustain.
So choose the same premium electric guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands' coated and uncoated guitar strings. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set. Who wouldn't love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?

I recently tried these out after using D'Addario XS coated and I think I may switch to these Elixir Optiweb coated strings. The plain steel strings seem to hold up way better and look and feel new for way longer than the XS plain steel strings. These Elixir strings seem to have a better feel to them as well, little stiffer, but more control because of it. When you own multiple guitars, coated strings are the way to go. Highly recommend these!

I use these strings on les Paul, Strato and Telecaster guitars and they are excellent. The strings keep in top condition for over 6 months and sound wonderful. I recommend.

J'ai acheté ces corde suite à une recommendation et j'ai été vraiment très déçu.
Elles n'ont pas pas beaucoup de mordant, le son est terne, beaucoup des harmoniques qu'on retrouve sur les cordes ordinaires ont disparues. Sur leur site internet on peut les comparer avec d'autres cordes et même lâ, on peut voir que le son manque de brillance. J'aurais du visiter le site avant de les acheter.
Si je veux baisser les aigues je peux le faire avec le bouton "Tone" de ma guitare; je n'ai pas besoin que les cordes le fasse à ma place.
J'ai du refaire l'intonation de la guitare parce qu'au 12e fret ça tombait vraiment faux. C'est peut être parce qu'elles sont trop neuves parce que ça semble encore bouger.
Les grosseurs de cordes ne sont pas non plus codés par couleur, ce qui fait que c'est plus facile de se tromper
Je les ai acheté en fin de semaine et je suis déjà sur le site pour les remplacer par des cordes que j'ai déjà essayé
Par contre l'emballage est vraiment très soigné et donne l'impression d'une belle qualité.

I’ve tried a wide variety of strings, and Elixir Optiwebs are the best I’ve used so far. The Optiweb strings are coated, but don’t have a soapy feel at all, like some Elixir strings. These strings last a long time, and the coating doesn’t wear off like 80/20 phosphor bronze.
These strings cost around $17.50 Canadian, and I think they are worth it. They are my go to choice
