Description
D’Addario PL017 Plain Steel Guitar Single String – .017 is a high quality replacement string for players who demand accuracy and reliability from every note. Designed for electric and acoustic guitars that use plain steel top strings, the .017 gauge is a popular choice for a plain G on many electric sets, or as a firmer feel for B or E where extra resistance is wanted. Whether you are swapping a broken string, fine tuning a custom set, or keeping spares in your gig bag, this single is built to drop straight in and perform. Expect a bright, articulate tone with a clean attack and dependable tuning stability that sits comfortably in modern and vintage rigs alike.
Made from precision drawn, tin plated high carbon steel, the PL017 delivers a smooth feel under the fingers and excellent resistance to everyday corrosion. D’Addario’s tight gauge tolerances mean you get consistent tension and intonation from pack to pack, which makes bends, vibrato and chording feel natural and predictable. Compared with no name bulk strings, this single offers a more refined top end sparkle and longer lasting clarity, thanks to carefully controlled materials and finishing. The ball end is cleanly made to seat securely in the bridge, and the plain construction gives an immediate, lively response that works equally well with clean amps or overdriven tones.
For UK tuition, rehearsals and school ensembles, the PL017 is an easy, cost effective way to keep a guitar playing its best. Tutors and students can rely on the gauge being clearly marked and consistent, making it simple to match sets or replace just one string before a lesson, rehearsal or exam. The ball end fits standard electric and steel string acoustic bridges, so replacements are quick, with minimal setup fuss. Great value for practice and performance alike, this single string helps maintain a familiar feel across instruments, supports accurate intonation for graded repertoire, and provides peace of mind when you need a dependable spare in the case.
