PL016 Plain Steel Guitar Single String, .016

Can't go wrong with D'Addario! I need high E strings. I play hard and they break. Just that simple, in order to get the sound I want and need, I need .008-.009 high E's. These are great, and they can be used on acoustic or electric. A rehearsal dream. While full sets are required for performances, these singles will get you through rehearsal with flying colors!

These strings were a good addition to my gig bag, for replacing the high E string after a breakage, when I don't need to replace the whole set. On my Gretsch for double jet, this stays in tune well, and meets all the standards I would expect in terms of how it looks, sounds, plays and fits.

Great Guitar strings at a nice price, No issues

I bought these strings for use on my son's Yamaha electric guitar. He tends to break the high E string a lot, and rather than buy full sets and end up with numerous extras of the other five guitar strings, I find it more efficient to buy the high E strings in bulk. D'Addario is a high quality string and these are a great value. If you are a guitar novice and are looking for a particular string in bulk, just keep in mind you are probably not going to find "bulk E strings", "bulk G strings", etc. Rather you will find them sold by gauge. For example, for the high E string you would buy 09 or 010 gauge strings, and so on. I did not rate these strings a 5 for one reason. I have found they do tend to break more frequently than Ernie Ball strings, thus I would consider that brand a somewhat better purchase.

Works like a champ for keeping in your bag. E strings pop all the time people! Lol These strings are super reliable for sounding good enough for most and last. Decent feel too. D'addarios are standard for a reason people.

Will get you out of a bind.Sound good enough.

Excellent quality

I don't know why some steel string sizes are much more expensive than others. And I'm talking sizes in between two others, below the 0.5 mm thickness (PL018 gauge and below). Less than $1 is a great price. Some that are fractional gauges cost $4 to $6. Anyway, these are excellent quality and they count towards your shipping cost threshold. They're a great way to increase your total amount to bump your shipment to $35 for free shipping.
