The perfect compromise between "nude" sensation and protection
The Elixir Optiweb is aimed at guitarists accustomed to classic uncoated strings but seeking the benefits of a coated string. The goal is clear: to maintain a smooth and natural feel while keeping an open tone, with a fingertip sensation much closer to the "traditional" than the thicker Elixir coatings. As a single string, this reference is ideal for regular maintenance of your instrument, whether you're rehearsing, in the studio, or on stage.
