Gear Test Challenge: Never tried coated guitar strings before? Here’s your chance!
If you’ve shied away from coated guitar strings in the past, it’s time to kick old prejudices and outdated beliefs to the curb. Elixir’s Optiweb coated strings rule; they feel more like natural strings and they last a ridiculously long time without corroding or rusting. PLUS they come in extended range packs, which means 7 and 8-string shredders aren’t left out in the cold!
We want to find a guitarist who’s never used coated strings, hook them up with a big ol’ box of Optiwebs to test out, and have them share their results on our social media and website so fellow axe-slingers can learn first-hand what Elixir strings are all about. The selected band or artist will get sent all the strings they need for serious testing/evaluation and will also be featured in a multi-page spread in an upcoming print issue of Performer. Cool, huh!
Scroll down for more detailed info about the Elixir Optiweb Coated Strings, and good luck!
