D'Addario LE026PB Guitar string

Phosphor Bronze Loop End Single String for Acoustic Guitar

The D'Addario LE026PB is a single replacement string built for acoustic guitar, supplied in a .026" gauge with a loop end for instruments that use tie-on or loop-end bridge designs. Phosphor bronze wrap wire is precision-wound around a hexagonally shaped, high-carbon steel core, producing a warm, bright, balanced tone with excellent intonation. Coated for added protection, this string works as a replacement for a broken or worn string or as a building block for a fully customized set. Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility, it matches the construction used across the brand's loop-end acoustic singles line.

Who It's For

This single string is the right choice for acoustic guitar players who need a .026" replacement or want to assemble a custom loop-end set tailored to their playing style. It suits musicians playing dreadnoughts, jumbos, and other steel-string acoustics that use loop-end bridge pins, including those who break individual strings frequently and prefer to replace only the worn one. The phosphor bronze wrap delivers the warm, bright, balanced character associated with D'Addario's acoustic string line, introduced to string making in 1974. Players building a custom gauge set for fingerstyle, flatpicking, or down-tuned arrangements will find this single string a practical, made-in-USA option.
