Overview
A guitarist tired of strings that go dull will find the NANOWEB coating here, a micro-thin layer meant to extend the life of wound strings without dulling the tone. The material is coated bronze, listed in a medium gauge class.
Elixir says the NANOWEB coating sounds and feels like an uncoated string, bright and lively, with a layer so thin you can barely tell it is there. That is the reason to choose it over a plain wound string. Pack contents are unclear from the listing.
Who it's for
Acoustic players who want coated strings without a tacky or dull feel. Shoppers replacing a whole set should confirm what is in the pack, since the title gives only a single gauge figure.
Pros and cons
- NANOWEB micro-thin coating
- Coated bronze material
- Bright, lively tone
- Extended wound-string life claimed
- Pack contents unclear
- Warranty entry only says to contact the maker
Performance notes
A micro-thin polymer layer covers the wrap wire, which slows the corrosion that deadens tone. Because the layer is so thin, the string holds the bright sound of an uncoated one. The listing gives no tension figure for the stated gauge.

Frequently asked questions
Does the NANOWEB coating change the feel?
The description says Nanoweb strings sound and feel like uncoated strings, with a coating too thin to notice.
Is this a Polyweb string?
No. The listing names Nanoweb. Polyweb is described as a different coating with a more played-in, balanced tone.
