## Description

D'Addario PL012 Plain Steel 0.012 Single Guitar String : desertcart.in: Musical Instruments

Review: E strings - Got delivered in 2 days and the quality was super good. Go for it
Review: Great option for those broke High e string! - Life saver. You mostly tend to break single strings. Never understood why I should replace the entire set. Such a waste of resources and high time that musicians also start becoming ecologically aware of their actions. I got 8 gauge string for replacing the broken high 'e' string. This was a sealed pack and NOT rusted. So perfect for me. Only issue is the the price is slightly on high side, and non-availablity of some gauges. I plan to convert my set-up to real progressive tension set - hello D'Addario: real musicians do not want balanced tension, they want progressive tension set.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The .011 strings all came unwound at the ball end after installation. Anyone else have this issue?**
A: From my years of selling D'addario strings, this is a very rare problem as opposed to other brands where it is a regular occurrence. Go to their website and I'm sure they will be happy to replace the defective strings.

**Q: Why did the single string go from 69 cents or over $4?**
A: You are comparing apples and oranges.  A string might be $.69 but what was the shipping charge?  You have to look at the total price which is why people who only buy items with "free shipping" often pay more than they should.  To put a single string in a box (for protection) and ship it the postage is almost $3.00.  Do a search for PL010 and you will find various "multi-packs" available.  First Stop Music Shop custom packages both 5 and 10 packs of this string.

**Q: Are the strings individually wrapped?**
A: No, they are in a single poly bag inside the cardboard packet.

**Q: Why are the .0135 $8? They are literally $.99 on Daddario's website. The ones being sold by amazon**
A: Re-enter your search criteria.  I paid $0.89 for individual ones and $3.99 for a pack of 5. From Amaxon.  Must be a typo or mis-labeling you found on a page.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ D'addario Plain PL012 single strings review
*by A***H on 8 April 2025*

The strings can be used for both acoustic and electric guitar. Date of import is July 2024 by Deccan Music. No rusting. Good output of sound. MRP is Rs 90/string. Does the job well when your 1st and 2nd strings get broken, rather than buying the whole pack.
