Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single .010 plain guitar string sold on its own. For replacing a broken high E without opening a fresh set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging players restocking a broken-string spare kit
- Anyone running a .010 set and snapping high E often
- Keeping the rest of a set alive after one break
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players restringing a whole guitar — buy a set
- Anyone unsure which gauge their current set uses
- Bass, classical or nylon-string instruments
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Sold as one string
You get a single string, no set. Buy several if you break strings regularly.
Detail 03
Acoustic or electric
Plain unwound trebles are the same on both, so one string covers either guitar.
Detail 04
Ernie Ball custom gauge line
Matches the high E in Regular Slinky and other .010-set gauges, so tension stays even.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nothing else included — no picks, winder, or extra strings
- 02Confirm your set starts at .010 or tension will feel uneven
- 03Mixing a new string with old ones leaves a brightness mismatch
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which string is this on the guitar?
On a standard six-string tuned to E, a .010 is the high E, the thinnest string.
02Can I use it on an acoustic?
Yes. Plain unwound strings are interchangeable between acoustic and electric guitars.
03Do I get more than one?
No, this is one single string.
04Will it stay in tune right away?
Any new string stretches. Tune, pull gently along its length, retune a few times.
