Elixir Plain Steel Single String .017 Anti-Rust

Description

Snap a plain steel string mid-set and you don’t want to reach for a random spare that throws off your tone balance — you want the exact match. This single .017 plain steel string from Elixir works on either electric or acoustic guitar, giving you that clear, shimmering top-end without the guesswork of buying a whole new pack.

• Gauge: .017 plain steel
• Works on electric or acoustic guitar
• Anti-Rust Plating resists corrosion and rust
• Keeps that fresh, polished feel under your fingers longer
• Designed to complement Elixir’s round wound coated string sets

What makes this string worth stocking is the plating. Plain strings are usually the first to dull out, going from bright and glassy to gritty and lifeless just from sweat and air exposure. The Anti-Rust Plating pushes back on that, so the string holds its clean sound and smooth playing surface rather than tarnishing after a couple of sweaty sets. Pair it with Elixir’s coated round wound strings and your whole set ages together instead of the plain strings dying out first.

Grab a few and toss them in your gig bag — a broken plain string shouldn’t end a session when a quick swap gets you back to playing in seconds.
