D'Addario LE018PB Guitar string

Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Single String — .018" Gauge

This single replacement string is designed for acoustic guitar, crafted from phosphor bronze with a round-wound construction. The .018" gauge is commonly used as the G-string position in standard 6-string acoustic sets, making it the right choice when one string wears out or breaks before the others. Rather than replacing an entire set, players can swap in this individual loop-end string to restore balanced tone and playability.

Phosphor bronze delivers a warm, rounded tone with clear note definition, while the round-wound construction provides a bright, articulate response with full harmonic content. The loop-end design fits standard acoustic guitar bridge pins for straightforward installation. As a coated string, it offers extended tonal life compared to uncoated alternatives, resisting the corrosion and tone loss that come from regular playing.

Who It's For

The LE018PB is the right choice for acoustic guitar players who need to replace a single worn or broken string without purchasing a full set. It's well-suited for players who prefer the warm, balanced tone of phosphor bronze and want the extended life that a coated finish provides. This string works for a range of playing styles, from fingerstyle to strumming, and is ideal for gigging musicians, teachers, and students who want to keep their instrument playing its best between full string changes.
