  "description": "Elixir 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating are known for their bright, focused tone and extended tone life. The 80/20 Bronze alloy (80% copper, 20% zinc) provides a clear, articulate sound, while the ultra-thin NANOWEB coating protects against corrosion and debris, maintaining tone for longer than uncoated strings. They are popular among acoustic guitarists seeking durability and consistent performance.",
