Elixir 11182 80/20 Bronze NANOWEB Acoustic Guitar Strings - HD Light (.013-.053)

The Elixir 11182 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating deliver a bright, focused tone with the extended string life that players worldwide have come to rely on. Available in HD Light gauge (.013-.053), these strings combine the natural warmth of 80/20 bronze with Elixir's featherweight NANOWEB Coating for a tone that stays vibrant and consistent through long sessions, touring, and recording - without the hassle of frequent string changes.

The NANOWEB Coating is Elixir's ultra-thin option, designed to feel as close to a traditional uncoated string as possible while still delivering the brand's signature extended tone life. For guitarists comparing the best coated acoustic guitar strings on the market, the 11182 stands out for its bright, expressive character that suits strumming, flatpicking, and hybrid styles equally well. The HD Light gauge makes it a versatile choice for players across genres from folk and country to pop and bluegrass.

Unlike competing coated strings that only treat the outer surface, Elixir's patented technology protects the entire string - including the critical gaps between the windings where tone-killing gunk and corrosion typically build up first. Anti-Rust Plating on the plain steel strings ensures every string in the set maintains its performance and tone over time. Made in the USA, these are the same strings trusted by professional touring artists worldwide.
