Elixir Strings, manufactured by W. L. Gore & Associates, are strings for electric, acoustic, and bass guitars as well as banjo and mandolin.

Elixir Strings are noted for their patented fluoropolymer coating.[1] The coating extends the strings' life and tone by reducing the accumulation of debris and blocking corrosion from elements such as skin oil.[1]

Products

There are three types of coatings:

  • Polyweb - thicker coating, longest lasting
  • Nanoweb - thinner coating, feels more like a traditional string than polyweb
  • Optiweb - thinnest coating, only for electric[2]
