Everything you need to know about the game-changing new Elixir Attune Strings

There’s an argument to be made that no company has been more influential and important in the guitar world over the last three decades than Elixir®. That’s a big claim, but one that holds up when you look closely.
Here in 2025, coated guitar strings are everywhere. Pretty much every major brand produces its own version of the technology – though Elixir remains the only one that fully coats the entire string protecting not only the outer string surface, but also the gaps between the windings.
But the reason other brands have followed suit is because Elixir Strings were so impactful that players now expect the benefits that come from a coated guitar string – Elixir showed that our strings can last longer, can sound better, they set the standard.
Elixir created that expectation, and it remains the master of string innovation to this day. Since the company’s first strings were launched, the brand has been relentless in pushing their revolutionary technology forward all the time, responding keenly to the needs and demands of real guitar players to produce better strings for every situation.

We’ve seen this with the company’s remarkable ultra-thin NANOWEB® Technology, which kept all the great features players loved about the traditional Elixir POLYWEB® Technology, while giving a less slick but a smooth, comfortable feel.
Then came the OPTIWEB® Technology for electric strings, which gives the strings a more natural feel to ensure you’re always in control of your bends and vibrato. While the feel of the strings may differ depending on the technology, a greater playability and corrosion protection remain unchanged.
Now, the brand is ready to change the string game yet again with the launch of its brand new Elixir® Attune Strings.
Guitarists are a complex and varied bunch – if you’re reading this you probably know that your tastes and preferences differ dramatically from the other guys in your band or at your jam night. There are no right or wrong answers – just different needs, tastes and use cases.
For the last three decades, a huge number of acoustic guitar players have found their home with Elixir Strings – the feel, tone and sound of the remarkable POLYWEB and NANOWEB Technologies are transformative enough that many players simply never go back after trying their first set of Elixir Strings.
But there are others for whom the Elixir tone and feel hasn’t quite meshed in the past – there’s something about traditional strings that they just prefer. But all that might be about to change.
The new Elixir Attune Acoustic Phosphor Bronze Strings offer the long life and corrosion resistance you’d expect from Elixir, but with a new voice and improved playability that challenges what was thought possible with coated strings.

The Attune Strings offer a crisp, clear tone and natural feel that will leave you wondering if you’re even playing a coated string at all. While many players love the slinky smooth feel of a POLYWEB Technology, the Attune Strings offer a firm and more traditional grip under the fingers, so you’re fully in control of your bends and vibrato.
But that’s not all – in addition to being the brand’s most natural-feeling strings yet, they’re also its most durable. The Attune Strings are capable of dealing with the most heavy-handed picking attacks with ease, with a tone that will outlast any other string on the market.
The Attune Strings aren’t meant to replace the POLYWEB and NANOWEB Technology strings in the market – millions of players have found their home with these strings and they’ll remain a part of the line-up. Attune is about offering the magic of Elixir Strings to a broader audience of players, so more of us can enjoy the benefits of longest-lasting tone.
The Attune Strings also speak to Elixir’s commitment to R&D and improving on their technology year after year. The brand says that its internal cycle of testing, refinement and testing is so rigorous that they may go through 100 prototypes to find the one that meets their high internal performance standards.
The Attune Strings are the proof of this commitment to excellence and innovation – bringing a game-changing new tone and feel to Elixir Strings that will win over new fans with a captivating playing experience that you know will last longer than any other. It’s what Elixir has done since 1997, and Attune shows they’re showing no signs of slowing down.
