A rich acoustic sound, longer
The Elixir 13159 Polyweb Bronze 80/20 String.059 is a single folk guitar string designed for musicians who want to quickly restore a balanced instrument without compromising on quality. Its Polyweb coating acts as a protective barrier against corrosion and buildup caused by sweat and humidity. The result: a string that retains its response, tuning stability, and playing comfort longer, even with regular use.
Made from 80/20 bronze, it delivers a tone that is both warm and clear, highly appreciated in acoustic settings for highlighting both pick attack and fingerstyle playing. The .059 gauge makes it a relevant choice for a bass string : you gain solidity, projection, and sustain, ideal for accompaniment, alternate tunings, or simply to add depth to your folk guitar.
- Designed for acoustic performances
