Features
Loop end fit for folk instruments
The loop end makes this string compatible with common mandolin, banjo and other loop tailpiece designs, allowing quick, secure installation. It is ideal for players who need to replace one string without changing the whole set, and for building custom gauge combinations that perfectly match your instrument and playing style.
Consistent .013 gauge
Precision made to a .013 gauge, this string delivers reliable feel and response across the fretboard. The consistent diameter supports stable tuning and predictable tension, helping you maintain even balance across a set when pairing with other gauges for your chosen instrument.
Plain steel clarity
Crafted from plain steel for a bright, immediate tone with clear projection. The smooth surface encourages clean fretting and articulation, making it well suited to melodic lines, tremolo picking and chordal work alike on loop end folk instruments.
Practical single for spares
Sold individually, the LE013 lets you replace only what you need and keep costs down. It is a practical addition to every gig bag or classroom spare box, reducing downtime when a string goes mid rehearsal or before a performance.
