The feel of a "natural" string, the lifespan of Elixir

The Elixir 16238 OPTIWEB strings are designed for electric guitarists who want to regain the snap and precision of playing on uncoated strings while benefiting from Elixir's reputation for durability. The result: a crisp attack, a familiar feel, and a balanced response, without the "thick" sensation sometimes associated with coated strings.

More consistent playing, even after hours of rehearsal

Thanks to OPTIWEB coating technology, these strings better resist everyday wear (sweat, humidity, dust, and residue). You maintain reliable intonation and a clean sound longer, making them an excellent choice for musicians who rehearse frequently, perform many gigs, or simply want to extend string changes without compromising playing comfort.
