Elixir 12025 Nickel-Plated Steel POLYWEB Electric Guitar Strings - Custom Light (.009-.046)

The Elixir 12025 Nickel-Plated Steel Electric Guitar Strings with POLYWEB Coating deliver a warm, smooth tone with the longest-lasting performance in the Elixir electric lineup. In Custom Light gauge (.009-.046) for 6-String Electric Guitar, these strings are ideal for players who prefer a smoother, warmer sound profile - whether for jazz, blues, classic rock, or studio recording where a refined, well-rounded tone is the priority.

POLYWEB is Elixir's original coating technology and the thickest option in their lineup. The result is a rich, warm tone with reduced high-frequency brightness compared to NANOWEB and OPTIWEB coatings, combined with Elixir's signature extended tone life. For guitarists comparing the best coated electric guitar strings for warm tone and smooth feel, the 12025 delivers the classic Elixir long-lasting performance alongside a distinctly different tonal character than thinner coatings.

Elixir's full-string protection covers the entire wrap wire - including the critical inter-winding gaps where sweat, oils, and debris destroy the tone of conventional strings. Anti-Rust Plating on the plain steels ensures consistent performance across the full set. Made in the USA and trusted by players worldwide for reliable, long-term performance.
