D'Addario LE030PB Guitar string

Phosphor Bronze Single String for Acoustic Guitar

The D'Addario LE030PB Phosphor Bronze Loop End Single String is a standalone .030" gauge replacement designed for acoustic guitars with loop-end bridge fittings. Each string is built around a hexagonally shaped, high-carbon steel core that is precision-wound with corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze, producing the bright, warm tone D'Addario has been refining since introducing phosphor bronze to string making in 1974. A protective coating adds a layer of defense against the moisture, oils, and grime that shorten string life during regular play. As a single string rather than a full set, it gives players a practical way to replace one broken or worn string without committing to an entire new pack. It also works as a building block for custom gauge combinations that don't match any standard set.

Who It's For

This single string is the right choice for acoustic guitar players who need a .030" gauge replacement without buying a full set. It suits musicians who break one string more often than others and want a quick, affordable fix, as well as players building custom gauge combinations for specific tunings or playing styles. The phosphor bronze wrap delivers a bright, warm tone that works well for strumming, flatpicking, and fingerstyle across folk, country, blues, and rock. The coated finish makes it a practical pick for gigging players who sweat heavily or play frequently and want longer intervals between string changes. Made in D'Addario's New York facility, each string carries the same hex-core construction used in the brand's full sets.
