The Elixir 11100 Polyweb set is built for acoustic players who want strong projection, fuller tone, and a smooth, comfortable playing feel that stays consistent through long rehearsals, gigs, and regular practice sessions.
With a medium .013-.056 gauge, these strings provide added tension and low-end authority compared to lighter gauges, making them a popular choice for aggressive strumming, flatpicking, and players who want maximum acoustic response from their instrument.
Combined with Elixir’s Polyweb coating, this set delivers a warm, broken-in feel with excellent durability and long-lasting tone.
80/20 bronze strings are naturally known for bright projection and lively articulation, but the Polyweb coating smooths out the attack slightly for a warmer and more controlled overall sound.
The result is a tone that feels full, balanced, and mature without losing clarity or definition.
Chords sound rich and powerful, rhythm playing stays focused, and lead lines maintain a smooth top end that works especially well for players who prefer less edge in their acoustic tone.
Medium gauge strings offer more resistance and headroom, which many players prefer when driving the guitar harder with a pick.
The added tension helps produce greater volume, stronger bass response, and improved sustain, especially on dreadnoughts and larger-bodied acoustic guitars.
Players using alternate tunings or lower tunings also tend to appreciate the added stability medium strings provide.
One reason many musicians continue using Polyweb strings for years is consistency. The coating helps protect the strings from sweat, corrosion, humidity, and buildup that normally shortens string life.
The smoother surface also reduces finger noise and creates a slick, comfortable feel during longer sessions.
Many players describe Polyweb strings as feeling naturally broken in right from the start, making them especially appealing for players who dislike the extra brightness of fresh uncoated strings.
