D'Addario LE015 Single Guitar String

Replacement Plain Steel Single String for Electric Guitar

The LE015 is a .015" gauge plain steel loop end single string sold individually for electric guitar players. It works as a direct replacement when a high string breaks, or as a building block for assembling a custom gauge set tailored to a player's preferred tension and feel. The loop end design makes it compatible with instruments that use loop-end bridge hardware, and the plain steel construction delivers the bright, articulate response D'Addario plain strings are known for. As a single-string product, it offers a practical, cost-effective solution for musicians who don't want to discard an entire set when one string wears out or breaks. This string is part of D'Addario's Loop End Singles line, which spans gauges from .008" to .018" in plain steel and from .018" to .059" in phosphor bronze.

Who This String Is For

The LE015 is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a .015" replacement string without purchasing a full set. It's ideal for musicians who break strings frequently and want a cost-effective spare on hand, as well as players who prefer to build custom gauge sets by mixing individual strings from different tension ranges. The loop end makes it suitable for guitars equipped with loop-end bridge hardware, and the plain steel material suits genres that call for bright, cutting tone — rock, blues, country, and funk. D'Addario plain steel singles are also popular among players of other fretted instruments like mandolin, dulcimer, and bouzouki who need specific gauges for custom setups or replacement parts.
