RogueP8 Bulk 12-Pack .008 Plain Steel Electric Guitar Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bulk pack of twelve .008 plain steel electric guitar singles. For players who break high E strings often or build custom gauge sets.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a snapped high E without opening a full set
- Stocking a repair bench or school music room
- Building custom-gauge sets around an ultra-light top string
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a complete restring — these are one gauge only
- Acoustic or classical guitars, which need different string types
- Players who prefer heavier top strings for firm picking feel
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
Unwound single wire, the standard construction for high strings. Bright and slick under the fingers.
Detail 03
12-pack of the same string
All twelve are identical. Useful as spares, not as a set.
Detail 04
Electric guitar string
Steel core works with magnetic pickups; on an acoustic it will sound thin and quiet.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Twelve of one gauge, not a full six-string set.
- 02Dropping to .008 lowers tension and may need truss rod and intonation adjustment.
- 03Lighter gauge can buzz or fret out if action is set very low.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set of guitar strings?
No. It is twelve identical .008 plain steel singles, typically used as high E replacements or for building custom gauges.
02What string position is a .008 used for?
It is normally the high E, the thinnest string. Some players also use it as part of a very light custom set.
03Will switching to .008 change my setup?
Likely yes. Less string tension can shift neck relief and intonation, so a setup check after restringing is a good idea.
04Can I use these on an acoustic guitar?
They are made for electric guitar. On an acoustic the tone will be thin and the volume low compared to acoustic-specific strings.
