Elixir 13018 Anti-Rust Plated Plain Steel .018, Single String

Elixir strings are a top - seller on the market right now, and it's no wonder. They come with Nanoweb and Polyweb coatings, available in various string types and gauges to suit every player's taste. The coating gives a balanced tone and a smooth, responsive feel, cutting down on finger squeak. It also protects the strings from sweat and grime, making them last 3 - 5 times longer than regular strings. That means you'll buy fewer string sets and change them less often, saving you money. Elixir's plain steel (unwound) strings have an anti - rust plating. This plating pairs perfectly with the coating on wound strings, delivering the punch and detail of traditional steel guitar strings with a much longer lifespan.

Using your Elixir anti - rust plated plain steel string is easy. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned to the correct pitch before installing the string. Gently thread the string through the bridge and the tuning peg, then wind it up slowly until it reaches the right tension. When you're playing, enjoy the smooth feel and reduced finger squeak. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the string with a clean, dry cloth to remove any sweat or dirt. This will help keep the anti - rust plating and the coating in good condition. Store your guitar in a dry place to prevent rust and damage. If you notice the tone starting to fade or the string showing signs of wear, it might be time to replace it. But thanks to the long - lasting coating, you won't have to do this as often as with ordinary strings.
