Hey whats its Jeremy and welcome to the showdown where today we are listening to the differences between Elixir’s Phosphor Bronze nanoweb coated strings and Elixirs 80/20 Polyweb coated strings.

Ive explained in other videos how the 80/20 strings are 80% copper and 20% zinc. This lends itself to have a bright attack but it then warms up with a bump in the bottom end. Phosphor bronze is 92% copper, 8% tin and trace amounts of phosphorus. I thought Phosphor Bronze was a little bit more even on the tonal spectrum.

Not only is the metallic composition of the guitar strings different but the coating is a little bit different too. the polyweb coating from elixir was their first coating but then after a period of time they developed their nano web coated strings which is just a thinner coating. The nanoweb coating feels a bit more like an uncoated string where you can feel the texture of the windings more on your fingertips. This coating offers a different feel but more importantly it protects the gaps between the windings of the strings from things that can normally damage guitar strings such as humidity, oils and sweat. This is nice because it will extend the life of the string but eventually the coating will wear down.

Ive explained in previous videos that everything is mic’d the same exact way as to treat this as an experiment but the best way to hear the differences are through headphones. With that being said let’s keep listening. I’ll be back after a few more examples.
