Description
Snap a plain string and you don’t need a whole pack to fix it—just grab the exact gauge that died. The D’Addario NW017 is a single .017 nickel wound electric guitar string, sold on its own so you can patch a set fast or build a custom gauge combo without paying for strings you’ll never use.
- .017 gauge, round wound with nickel-plated steel over a hexagonal high-carbon steel core
- Bright, articulate tone with intonation that stays true up and down the neck
- Works as a one-off replacement or a building block for your own custom sets
- Made in the U.S.A. on D’Addario’s precision, digitally controlled winding machinery
This is the same wire D’Addario uses across its best-selling XL series, the sets most players reach for first because they hit that balance of snap and warmth without going dull too fast. Keeping a few loose gauges like this in your case means you’re never stuck waiting on a full pack when a single string lets go mid-set—swap it, tune up, and get back to playing while the rest of your strings are still fresh.
Grab a couple of extras. Strings break at the worst times, and having the right gauge on hand beats limping through a gig on a dead or mismatched replacement.
