D'Addario PB062 Guitar string

D'Addario PB062 — Single Phosphor Bronze Acoustic String

This single replacement phosphor bronze wound string is designed for acoustic guitar, manufactured in the USA to the same specifications as the strings in D'Addario's full phosphor bronze sets. At .062" gauge, it sits in the heavier end of the company's acoustic single-string range, which spans from .017 to .070, and is most commonly used as the low A string on a standard 6-string acoustic set or as the 7th string on extended-range instruments. The phosphor bronze wrap wire over a high-carbon steel hex core produces the warm, bright, and balanced tonal character that has made this D'Addario series a long-standing choice for acoustic players. Buying a single replacement rather than a full set is the practical answer when only one string has broken or worn out, or when a player wants to customize the gauge of a specific position without replacing the entire set.

Who It's For

This single string is the right choice for acoustic guitar players who need to replace a single broken or worn low string without buying a full set. It suits players who prefer the warm, balanced tone of phosphor bronze over brighter 80/20 bronze alternatives, and it works equally well for strummers, fingerpickers, and flatpickers across folk, country, blues, and singer-songwriter styles. The .062 gauge is a standard fit for the low A position on most 6-string acoustic sets, and it can also serve as the 7th string on 7-string acoustic guitars such as the ESP LTD TL-7, which ships from the factory with this exact gauge. Because it matches the construction of D'Addario's full phosphor bronze sets, it blends seamlessly when paired with the rest of the PB series.
