Information

Essential Information About Elixir 16246 Optiweb Single 46 Strings
• Clear and precise sound : played with the same bright tone as an uncoated string, to regain the attack and definition of a "natural" string set.
• Natural playing feel : the OPTIWEB coating provides a smooth touch and pleasant grip, without a "plasticized" effect.
• Nickel-plated steel : electric guitar strings constructed with a nickel-plated steel winding wire, ideal for a balance between brightness and warmth.
• Enhanced longevity : the coating technology protects against corrosion and common debris buildup, extending the sound life longer than coated or uncoated strings from all brands.

More consistent play, session after session

The Elixir 16246 OPTIWEB strings are designed for electric guitarists who want to maintain a clear sound and a playing comfort close to traditional strings, while reducing string changes. The OPTIWEB coating helps keep a consistent response to both pick and fingers, with a quick and familiar feel for bends, vibrato, and legato runs.

Protection against daily wear and corrosion

Between sweat, humidity, and deposits that accumulate over hours, a set of strings can lose its shine faster than desired. Here, the coating technology acts as a barrier against corrosion and debris buildup, while the rust-resistant plating on plain steel strings contributes to a longer overall lifespan. The result: less hassle, fewer replacements, and more time to play and record with a stable sound.
