Elixir’s Custom Light 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings are designed for players who want the perfect blend of tone, feel, and durability. Sitting comfortably between light and extra light gauges, these strings offer enhanced brightness and playability, while still maintaining solid tuning stability and sustain—ideal for both lead and rhythm work. The exception is the ultra-light G-string, which provides better tension balance and makes bending effortless.
Outfitted with Elixir’s NANOWEB® coating, these strings not only deliver a clear, natural acoustic tone, but also last significantly longer than traditional uncoated strings—meaning fewer string changes and more time focused on your music. If standard light strings don’t quite give you the brightness you crave, Elixir Custom Lights are a perfect step up.
