D'Addario J4506C Single Guitar String

Replacement 6th String for Pro-Arte Composite Classical Guitar Sets

The D'Addario J4506C is a single replacement 6th string (low E) for classical guitar, built to match the Pro-Arte Composite string family. Its silver-plated copper wrap is wound over an exclusive multifilament stranded composite core, a construction D'Addario developed to deliver a powerful yet warm tone. According to the manufacturer, this composite core design gives the string a lifespan two to three times longer than traditional classical basses. The tie-end and round-wound construction make it a direct drop-in replacement when one bass wears out before the rest of the set.

Who It's For

The J4506C is the right choice for classical guitarists who play a Pro-Arte Composite set and need to replace a worn 6th string without buying a whole new set. Normal tension suits traditional classical repertoire, fingerstyle playing, and students building proper left-hand technique. The composite core's longer lifespan also appeals to gigging players who want consistent tone across longer playing intervals. Made in D'Addario's New York facility, this single string carries the same quality control as the full Pro-Arte Composite set.
