All Elixir ® Strings Acoustic Sets Now Feature Innovative Anti-Rust Technology for Great Tone and Longevity
Anaheim, CA, January 13, 2009— Elixir® Strings, pioneer of long-life strings, is broadening its Anti-Rust string product line at Winter NAMM 2009 (Booth 5000, Hall B). Now, all of Elixir® Strings acoustic sets feature Anti-Rust Plain Steel strings.
While offering the same feel and tone as traditional plain steel strings, Anti-Rust strings provide corrosion resistance to extend the strings’ tone life by three to five times. Elixir® Stings Application Engineer Steve Rosenberg says, “Incorporating Anti-Rust technology into our full line of acoustic and electric strings ensures all musicians can take advantage of the long tone life that Elixir Strings are known to deliver.�
“Elixir Strings strives to offer all of its customers the best quality strings possible,� adds Rosenberg. “We received numerous requests to expand Anti-Rust plating into our entire acoustic line, which now has the same technology as our signature electric sets. The Anti-Rust plain steel strings, along with our traditional coated wound strings, extend the tone life of our entire set of strings, essentially making for more pleasurable playing experiences.�
The secret behind Elixir® Strings Anti-Rust technology is its proprietary alloy plating that inhibits tone-killing string corrosion. The tone life of Anti-Rust strings’ exceed ordinary plain steel strings while maintaining the traditional feel and crisp, clean sound of a new set.
The expanded Anti-Rust Plated Plain Steel Strings are available at Elixir Strings retailers nationwide. For more information, contact your local dealer.
