Anti-Rust Plating on the plain steels protects the rest of the set. The result is fewer string changes and a set that still sounds like itself weeks in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre these genuine Elixir Strings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Victory is a veteran owned dealer in Miami and units ship new in original packaging, sealed by Elixir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does Custom Light compare to Light gauge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCustom Light .011-.052 is one step lighter than Light .012-.053. Slightly easier to fret and bend, slightly less volume and low end. If you fingerpick or have a smaller bodied guitar it is often the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre all three sets the same gauge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, all three are Custom Light .011-.052.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill these work on a classical guitar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Classical and flamenco guitars take nylon strings. Steel strings will damage a guitar built for nylon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy From Victory Musical Instruments?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictory Musical Instruments is an authorized Elixir dealer and a musician-run shop in Miami, FL.
