Elixir Strings, manufactured by W. L. Gore & Associates, are strings for electric, acoustic, and bass guitars as well as banjo and mandolin.

Elixir Strings are noted for their patented fluoropolymer coating.[1] The coating extends the strings' life and tone by reducing the accumulation of debris and blocking corrosion from elements such as skin oil. Some have suggested that while such coated strings last longer, untreated strings have a brighter tone.[1]
