Description
Snap a string mid-set? Wearing out that same low gauge faster than the rest? This single .042 Elixir Electric Nickel Plated Steel string with NANOWEB Coating is the fix — no need to crack open a whole new pack when just one string gave up.
Elixir built its reputation on making wound strings last, and the NANOWEB coating is the reason why. It wraps the string in a thin, ultra-smooth layer that keeps sweat, oil, and grime from working into the winding, so you get more play time before the tone goes dull and lifeless. NANOWEB still feels close to an uncoated string under your fingers — smooth without feeling slick or plasticky — while giving you that extra stretch of life between changes.
Because it’s nickel plated steel, expect warm, balanced tone with a bit of bite on top — classic electric guitar character, not overly bright or harsh.
- Gauge: .042
- Material: Nickel Plated Steel
- Coating: NANOWEB
- Sold as a single string
Keep a couple of these in your gig bag. A broken string shouldn’t mean a broken set — swap in this .042 and get back to playing without missing a beat.
