Elixir 12152 Nanoweb Nickel 12-52 Heavy

Elixir Nanoweb Nickel Heavy strings are designed for electric guitars and offer extended tone life. Thanks to their ultra-thin NANOWEB coating, they retain a bright, punchy sound far longer than traditional strings. The nickel-plated steel construction with a steel core delivers a distinctive tone. The Heavy gauge .012 to .052 strings suit guitarists who prefer higher tension and a fuller sound. The Anti-Rust treatment also protects the winding from corrosion.

Long-lasting tone life with NANOWEB technology

Elixir strings feature an extended tone life made possible by their unique technology. An ultra-thin NANOWEB protective coating covers the entire string, preventing dirt and finger oils from building up in the gaps between the windings. This buildup dampens vibrations and causes standard strings to lose their bright sound quickly. Thanks to this protection, these strings maintain a consistent tone and playability for longer. The Anti-Rust treatment further prevents corrosion.

Full sound of nickel-plated steel

The combination of a steel core and nickel-plated steel winding gives the strings a rich, full-bodied sound, making them ideal for many genres. The heavier string gauge of .012 to .052 (Heavy) offers several key benefits. It provides a fuller, more powerful tone with longer sustain, alongside better tuning stability which is particularly noticeable when drop-tuning. The higher string tension also suits players with a heavier picking hand.
