Detail 01
.012 plain steel
Unwound, so it's a treble string. On a 12-gauge set this is the high E; on a 10 set it's the B.

RogueP12 Bulk 12-Pack .012 Plain Steel Electric Guitar Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Twelve identical .012 plain steel single strings for electric guitar. A restock item for anyone who keeps breaking the high E.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing snapped high E strings without opening a full set
- Guitar techs and schools maintaining many instruments
- Heavy pickers who burn through treble strings
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone restringing a guitar — no other gauges here
- Players wanting coated or specialty-tension strings
- 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
Plain, not wound
No winding to unravel and no wound-string thud. Brighter and more prone to snapping at the bridge.
Detail 03
12 of the same string
Restock format. It solves repeated breakage, not a full restring.
Detail 04
Electric guitar strings
Steel core reads properly on magnetic pickups. Works on acoustics in a pinch but sounds thin.
Detail 05
$2.99 for twelve
About twenty-five cents a string. Cheaper than pulling a fresh set every time one breaks.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm .012 matches your set's high E — many sets use .009 or .010
- 02A single new string will sound brighter than the aged ones around it
- 03No wound gauges included; buy those separately for a complete restring
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is .012 a high E or a B string?
Both, depending on the set. It's the high E in a heavy 12-gauge set and the B in a common 10-gauge set.
02Do I need to change the whole set when one string breaks?
Not necessarily. A single replacement works, though it will be brighter than the older strings until it settles in.
03Will one new string throw off my setup?
A single .012 changes total tension slightly. If your relief is borderline, check the neck after installing.
04Are these good for a first guitar?
They're basic uncoated steel and cheap to replace, which suits practice guitars. Expect a shorter lifespan than coated strings.
