D'Addario LE036W Single Guitar String

Single Electric Guitar String for Replacement or Custom Sets

The D'Addario LE036W is a single .036" nickel wound loop end string designed for electric guitar. It solves the common problem of needing just one replacement string without buying a full six-string set, and it allows players to mix gauges into custom combinations that aren't available off the shelf. Nickel-wound roundwound construction produces a bright, articulate tone with the familiar feel of D'Addario's standard electric string line. The loop end anchors securely in standard electric guitar bridges and tailpieces, making installation straightforward. Part of D'Addario's single-string lineup, this string spans gauges from .018" to .059" for complete custom-set flexibility.

Who It's For

This single string is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a replacement at .036" gauge without purchasing a full set. It's ideal for musicians building custom gauge combinations — for example, a hybrid set that mixes lighter top strings with heavier bottom strings for dropped tunings. Players who break individual strings frequently will appreciate being able to buy just the one they need rather than replacing an entire set. The .036" gauge typically serves as a D string in standard tuning or a G string in dropped-D and lower tunings, making it a common replacement for rock, blues, and metal players.
