Description
Snapped a low string mid-set or just topping off a spare pack? This .052 single from Elixir is phosphor bronze wound for that rich, warm, full acoustic voice players reach for on western/acoustic guitars. It’s the kind of string that fills out the low end without going muddy — plenty of body, plenty of shimmer on top.
- Gauge: .052
- Construction: Phosphor bronze wound
- Coating: Elixir NANOWEB, an extra-thin layer that protects against grime, sweat and finger oils
- Sold as a single string, not a full set
The NANOWEB coating is the detail that matters here — it’s thin enough that you barely notice it under your fingers, but it slows down the oxidation and buildup that kill tone on uncoated strings. That means this single string holds onto its brightness and sustain noticeably longer than a bare phosphor bronze equivalent, so you’re not stuck babysitting a fresh string that dulls out in a week.
Perfect for keeping in your gig bag as an emergency replacement, rounding out a mixed set, or simply restringing one worn string without tearing into a whole pack. Same coated feel and tone you’d expect from a full Elixir set — just in the exact gauge you need, when you need it.
