OPTIWEB coating
Elixir positions it as its most natural and familiar-feeling coating.

Independent shopping perspective
This two-pack supplies nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings in the .009–.046 Custom Light gauge. OPTIWEB is Elixir’s most natural- and familiar-feeling coating option, with a crisp character and playable grip. The light coating is designed to let the strings vibrate with less damping, giving bends, vibrato and sustain a direct response. Full-string coating reaches between the windings, and the plain steel strings use Anti-Rust Plating to help preserve tone life for the full set.
