help Elixir Phosphor Bronze Strings (Medium) FAQ
What gauge are Elixir Phosphor Bronze Medium strings?
Elixir's common acoustic Medium set is .013 to .056. That heavier gauge gives more volume and tension than Light .012 to .053 sets, but it can feel stiffer under the fingers.
What coating does Elixir use on Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings?
Elixir Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings are commonly sold with NANOWEB coating. The coating is designed to slow corrosion and keep the strings sounding fresh longer than many uncoated phosphor bronze sets.
Are Medium Elixir strings good for a dreadnought acoustic?
Yes, medium-gauge phosphor bronze strings are a common match for dreadnoughts because they can drive the larger top with more energy. On smaller guitars or lightly braced vintage instruments, .013s may feel too tense.
How do Elixir Phosphor Bronze strings sound compared with 80/20 Bronze?
Phosphor Bronze usually sounds warmer and more balanced, while 80/20 Bronze tends to sound brighter at first. Elixir's coating changes the feel slightly, but many players choose it for longer string life.
