- Replacing a snapped B or G string mid-gig
- Assembling a hybrid set with non-standard gauge spacing

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere

- Players who want matched tension across all strings
- Nylon-string or classical guitar owners
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
Plain steel, no winding
Unwound at this gauge, so it works on both acoustic and electric with no tone mismatch.
Detail 03
Sold as a single string
You buy exactly the one you need instead of a full set for one break.
Detail 04
Acoustic or electric use
Plain steel reads the same to a magnetic pickup as it does acoustically, so one string covers both.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One string only. Not a set.
- 02Check your current set's gauge chart so tension stays even.
- 03Stock up before you need one, not after.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which string does a .015 replace?
It depends on your set. On many light electric sets a .015 is not standard, so match it against your own gauge chart before swapping.
02Can I use this on an acoustic?
Yes. It's plain steel and unwound, so it works on acoustic and electric alike.
03Is it wound or plain?
Plain steel. At .015 there's no winding.
04How many do I get?
One string.
