D'AddarioXS Plain Steel Singles 0.017
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 0.017-gauge XS Plain Steel single is a practical replacement option when one electric-guitar string needs changing, or when you are assembling a personalized gauge mix. High-carbon steel gives the string a bright, crisp, defined response. Its corrosion-resistant wrap wire is designed to keep clarity from fading over time, and the XS design is intended to maintain tuning and intonation during aggressive playing.
Strong match
