D’Addario PL011 Plain Steel Single String .011

Description

Snap a high string mid-set and you don’t need a whole new pack—just grab the exact gauge that died. The D’Addario PL011 is a single .011 plain steel string built for both acoustic and electric guitars, made from round steel wire with D’Addario’s patented Lock Twist winding at the ball end so it stays put and won’t slip loose under tension.

Plain steels are the strings that carry your bends, your pull-offs, your top-end sparkle, and freshness matters here more than almost anywhere else on the neck. A dead plain string goes dull and floppy fast, killing sustain and intonation right when you need bite. Keeping a few loose PL011s on hand means you’re always one string swap away from that just-strung clarity instead of limping through a gig on a tired string.

Beyond emergency repairs, this single is perfect for guitarists who build their own custom sets, mixing gauges across brands or tensions to get feel and tone exactly right. D’Addario manufactures these in the U.S.A. on precision digitally-controlled machinery, and the packaging is built to fight corrosion before the string even hits your guitar.

Keep a stash of these in your gig bag—when a plain string goes, you’ll want the fix in seconds, not a full restring.
