D'Addario CG026 Single Guitar String

D'Addario CG026 Flat Wound Electric Guitar String

The D'Addario CG026 is a single replacement string from the Chromes flatwound series, designed specifically for electric guitar. At .026" gauge, it fits naturally as a D or fourth string in a standard set, or as a custom-gauge option for players building their own combinations. The ribbon-wound and polished stainless steel construction produces the warm, mellow tone that has made Chromes a go-to choice for jazz and blues guitarists. Each string is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility.

Who Is It For

The CG026 is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a single flatwound replacement string at .026" gauge. Jazz guitarists building custom-tension sets will appreciate the ability to mix and match individual Chromes singles to achieve balanced feel across all six strings. Blues and classic rock players benefit from the smooth, finger-noise-free surface that flatwound strings provide during chord changes and slides. It also works well for lap steel and pedal steel players who prefer the mellow, sustained tone of flatwound construction.
