Description

D’Addario PL015 is a plain steel guitar single string with a .015 gauge, crafted for players who need a dependable replacement or a precise gauge when building custom sets. Equally at home on electric and acoustic guitars, this versatile string restores bright, lively response on the treble side and keeps you playing with confidence. Whether you are a gigging guitarist, a student preparing for an assessment, or a teacher keeping classroom instruments ready, having a high quality .015 to hand means fewer interruptions and a consistent feel across instruments. It is a simple, effective way to refresh your sound without committing to a full set.

Built from high carbon steel and finished with a corrosion resistant tin plating, the PL015 delivers a clear, articulate tone with a smooth surface that feels comfortable under the fingers. D’Addario’s precise manufacturing keeps gauge tolerances tight for reliable intonation and tuning stability, making it easier to dial in action and setup without surprises. The ball end design speeds up string changes and seats securely at the bridge, ideal when you need a quick swap mid rehearsal. Compared with basic student spares, this single offers noticeably better consistency from string to string and pack to pack, so your treble response remains focused and musical over longer practice sessions.

Perfect for UK tuition and school use, this .015 is a sensible choice for exam preparation, band rehearsals and daily practice. It fits the majority of modern guitars that take ball end strings, and the clear gauge labelling makes it easy for teachers and learners to pick the right replacement. Supplied as a sealed single, it is cost effective to keep a few in a case or classroom spares box, ensuring lessons carry on even when a string breaks. Reliable, great value and easy to fit, the PL015 supports steady progress from first lessons through grades, while delivering the bright, dependable tone players expect.
