Elixir Strings 12050 Polyweb Electric Guitar Strings 10-46

Elixir 12050 POLYWEB — Light 10–46 Electric Strings

Elixir 12050 is a six-string nickel-plated steel electric guitar string set with POLYWEB coating and a 10–46 gauge range. This is a set for electric guitar, not a classical nylon-string or acoustic bronze set. Elixir protects the wound strings with a coating that covers the gaps between windings; anti-rust treated plain strings complement the set.

Sound, Feel and Choosing a Gauge

POLYWEB coating helps keep dirt from settling between wound-string turns and has a smooth, warmer-leaning playing character. The 12050 and NANOWEB 12052 share 10–46 gauges but differ by coating; the lighter POLYWEB 12000 is 9–42. String tension also changes with your instrument’s scale length and tuning, so check the existing string set and setup before changing gauges.

Fitting and Maintenance

Install on a compatible electric guitar, stretch each new string gently after tuning, and check intonation if you change from your previous gauge. Wipe away sweat after playing. The coating can reduce debris buildup but does not make strings maintenance-free. Confirm the exact 12050 model if you are replacing a set you already like.
