D'Addario CG020 Single Guitar String

D'Addario CG020 Flat Wound Electric Guitar String

The D'Addario CG020 is a single flat wound electric guitar string from the Chromes series, designed for jazz, blues, and classic rock players who want a warm, mellow tone without the finger squeak of roundwound strings. The ribbon-wound, polished stainless steel construction produces an ultra-smooth playing surface that glides under the fingers during chord changes and slides. As a single replacement string, it lets players swap out a worn or broken string without buying a full set, or build a custom gauge combination that better matches their playing style. Made in D'Addario's New York production facility, this string carries the same construction quality as the full Chromes sets.

Who Is This String For

The CG020 is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a warm, mellow tone with a smooth feel — ideal for jazz, blues, classic rock, and country styles where finger squeak is undesirable. It works well as a replacement for a broken or worn .020 string in an existing Chromes set, or for players building custom gauge combinations to fine-tune tension across the fretboard. Fingerstyle players and those who frequently slide between chords will appreciate the polished flat wound surface. This string is a reliable choice for both stage performances and studio recording sessions where consistent tone matters.
