Description
The D’Addario PB047 is a single phosphor bronze wound acoustic guitar string in a .047 gauge, ideal for players who need a precise replacement or who prefer to build custom sets. Whether you are a gigging guitarist, a home recorder or a teacher keeping spares to hand, this string delivers a dependable, musical tone with the convenience of buying only what you need. It suits most steel string acoustics and is a straightforward choice when you want to restore balance to a set or subtly adjust the feel of your instrument without changing every string.
Crafted with a phosphor bronze winding over a steel core, the PB047 offers a warm, articulate voice with pleasing clarity across strummed chords and picked lines. Phosphor bronze is valued for its natural corrosion resistance and consistent response, giving this string a smooth feel and a tone that stays lively for longer than basic student options. Precision winding helps intonation and tuning stability, while the ball end design makes fitting quick and secure on the vast majority of acoustic bridges.
For lessons, school ensembles and daily practice, this string offers reliable performance and excellent value. Teachers and students can replace a single worn or broken string without the cost of a full set, keeping instruments lesson ready with minimal downtime. The versatile .047 gauge works well for balancing tension on many popular acoustic setups, making it a sensible spare for music departments and pupils preparing for graded exams. It is a simple, effective upgrade over entry level strings, supporting steady progress and confident playing session after session.
