Elixir NANOWEB Nickel Plated Steel Single String .026

Description

Snap a string mid-set and you know the drill — the rest of the pack still feels great, but that one dead or busted string ruins the whole vibe. That’s exactly why Elixir sells this .026 individually: no need to crack open a full set just to fix one string.

This is the Elixir 15226, a nickel-plated steel electric guitar string built with the brand’s NANOWEB coating. NANOWEB wraps the string in a thin, ultra-smooth layer that keeps grime and finger oils from working into the windings, so the tone you dial in on day one sticks around a lot longer than it would on a bare string. It still feels close to an uncoated string under your fingers, just with noticeably less string squeak and a longer window before things start sounding dull.

At .026 gauge, this string typically slots into the middle-to-lower range of a standard set, giving you a balance of flexibility and definition.

• Gauge: .026
• Construction: Nickel-plated steel
• Coating: Elixir NANOWEB
• Sold individually — ideal for replacing a single broken or worn string

Grab a couple as backups so you’re never stuck mid-gig or mid-session with a set that’s one string short of complete.
