Description
If you’ve been putting off adding a 7-string to the rotation because coated sets feel gummy or fake, Optiweb is Elixir’s answer. This 19057 set skips the slicker feel of their thicker coatings and goes for something closer to bare steel under your fingers — same fast attack, same natural string-to-string feel, minus the squeak.
- Gauges: .010 .013 .017 .026 .036 .046 .056
- Nickel-plated steel wrap wire for that classic warm-but-articulate tone
- Optiweb coating seals out sweat, grime, and skin oils without deadening the sound
- Anti-Rust Plating on the plain steel strings, so the whole set ages evenly instead of the plains going dull first
The whole point of Elixir’s coating tech is longevity — corrosion and buildup are what kill tone on any string, coated or not, and this is the stuff engineered specifically to fight that. For a 7-string player, that matters even more: more strings, more surface area, more chances for grime to creep in and choke your low B. Fewer restrings means fewer setup headaches and more actual playing time.
Stock up a few sets — once you’re used to how long an Optiweb set holds its snap, going back to bare wire feels like a step backward.
