D'Addario PB047 Guitar string

Phosphor Bronze Single String for Acoustic Guitar

The D'Addario PB047 is a standalone .047" wound string designed for acoustic guitar, sold as a single replacement rather than part of a full set. It uses the same phosphor bronze wrap and hex-shaped high carbon steel core that D'Addario has been producing since introducing the alloy in 1974. The .047" gauge makes it a natural fit for the low end of a custom set, a heavier-gauge pack, or any acoustic tuned down where extra mass adds warmth and low-end response. The ball-end construction drops into a standard acoustic bridge pin without modification, and the round-wound wrap delivers the warm, bright, well-balanced tone the line is known for.

Who This String Is For

The PB047 suits acoustic players who need a single replacement for a broken or worn low-end string without buying a whole new set. It works equally well for guitarists building custom gauge combinations, players running heavier-gauge packs for standard tuning, and those who drop-tune their acoustic and want the added mass and warmth a .047" delivers. The ball-end fits any standard acoustic bridge, so installation is straightforward on dreadnoughts, jumbos, concert models, and most other steel-string acoustics. As part of D'Addario's flagship phosphor bronze line, it pairs naturally with the rest of the PB series for anyone assembling a full custom set from individual singles.
