A single string to keep your tone... longer
With the Elixir 16252 Optiweb in single 52, you retain the character and responsiveness of a "classic" string while benefiting from the Elixir philosophy: a more consistent, more comfortable play, and a natural sensation that won't throw you off. It's an excellent choice if you play often, are looking for a reliable replacement string, or want to adjust your gauge for lower tunings, tighter riffs, or a firmer feel.
