Independent shopping perspective
Elixir’s light-gauge 80/20 Bronze acoustic set comes as a two-pack for players who want spares ready for the next restring. The NANOWEB coating covers the full string, including the spaces between windings, while the plain steel strings use Anti-Rust Plating. Its 80/20 bronze wrap is described as crisp and bright with an expressive, vibrant character. The ultra-thin NANOWEB finish retains a more traditionally textured feel than Elixir’s POLYWEB coating.
