Elixir 19052 Nickel-Plated Steel OPTIWEB Electric Guitar Strings - Light (.010-.046)

The Elixir 19052 Nickel-Plated Steel Electric Guitar Strings with OPTIWEB Coating deliver the crisp, natural feel of an uncoated string with the extended tone life that Elixir is known for. Available in Light gauge (.010-.046) for 6-String Electric Guitar, OPTIWEB is Elixir's most natural-feeling coating - engineered to vibrate with minimal damping while providing a firm, familiar grip that puts players in complete control of bends, vibrato, and sustain without any "coated string" feel.

For electric guitarists seeking the best long-lasting electric strings that feel as close to traditional uncoated strings as possible, the 19052 is the top choice in the Elixir lineup. The OPTIWEB Coating is lighter and thinner than both the NANOWEB and POLYWEB options, resulting in a crisp, open tone with natural string tension. The Light gauge suits a wide range of playing styles and genres, from aggressive rock and metal bending to nuanced jazz and blues phrasing.

Like all Elixir Strings, the 19052 protects the entire string - including the gaps between windings where tone-killing corrosion, sweat, and debris accumulate in competing brands. Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings extends tone life for the full set. These strings are made in the USA to exacting quality standards and trusted by professional players worldwide for consistent, gig-ready performance set after set.
