Elixir 16242 Optiweb Unit 42

The sound of an uncoated string, Elixir longevity

The electric strings Elixir 16242 OPTIWEB are designed for guitarists who want to regain the snap and immediate response of a traditional set of strings while benefiting from the longevity that has made Elixir famous. Played with a bright tone comparable to an uncoated string, they maintain a natural feel, without a "plastic" sensation, for consistent comfort through rehearsals, concerts, and studio sessions.

A coating designed to resist sweat and impurities

Thanks to the OPTIWEB coating technology, these strings are protected against corrosion and the buildup of common debris (dust, residue, sweat), to extend the lifespan of the tone longer than coated or uncoated strings from any brand. The anti-rust plating applied to the plain steel strings also helps improve the overall durability.
