Elixir Nanoweb Baritone 12-68 – electric guitar strings for baritone and low tunings

Elixir Nanoweb Baritone is an electric guitar string set designed for baritone guitars and very low tunings. The set combines nickel-plated steel with Elixir’s ultra-thin Nanoweb coating for a clear, crisp and stable tone with long tonal life. The heavy 12-68 gauge provides firm string tension and better control in lower registers.

Overview and features

Elixir Nanoweb Baritone is made for guitarists who need a string set with increased stability when tuning down. The heavier gauge helps the strings stay tighter and more defined in tunings such as B standard, A standard, Drop A or Drop B.

The strings are made from nickel-plated steel, often abbreviated NPS, which provides a balanced electric guitar tone with clear attack, defined midrange and controlled warmth. The Nanoweb coating protects the strings against dirt, sweat and corrosion, while also giving a smoother playing feel and reducing finger noise.

Nanoweb coating

The Nanoweb coating is an ultra-thin protective layer that helps the strings retain their fresh tone longer than traditional uncoated strings. The smooth surface reduces finger squeak during position changes, which is especially useful for heavy riffs, recording and live performance.

NPS for a clear and balanced electric guitar tone

Nickel-plated steel provides a clear and versatile tone with a good balance of attack, warmth and definition. This makes the set suitable for distorted baritone riffs, heavy rhythm playing and low chords where string separation is important.

Baritone 12-68

The Baritone 12-68 gauge provides higher string tension and clearer control in low tunings. The heavier bass strings help prevent a loose feel, while the plain treble strings still provide playable response for melodies, chords and bends.

Anti-Rust and more even string life

The plain strings feature Anti-Rust treatment to help prevent corrosion and provide more even ageing across the set. The combination of Nanoweb on the wound strings and Anti-Rust on the plain strings helps both tone and feel stay fresh for longer.
