Description
Elixir 12000 Polyweb Coated Electric Guitar Strings — Super Light (09-42)
Polyweb® Full-Coverage Coating — Elixir's original coating wraps the entire string, including the gaps between windings, locking out tone-killing gunk and dramatically extending string life
Warm, Mellow Tonal Profile — The slightly thicker Polyweb coating naturally tames harsh high-end frequencies, producing a smooth, controlled sound with a soft attack — ideal for blues, jazz, and classic rock
Ultra-Slick Playing Feel — Friction-reduced surface ensures fast, effortless movement across the fretboard with minimal finger squeak
Anti-Rust Plain Strings — The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings feature proprietary anti-rust plating so the full set ages evenly without premature corrosion
Nickel-Plated Steel Wound Strings — The wound D, A, and low E strings use Polyweb coated nickel-plated steel for balanced tone and consistent magnetic pickup response
