## Description

D'Addario PL008 Plain Steel 0.008 Single Guitar String : desertcart.in: Musical Instruments

Review: E strings - Got delivered in 2 days and the quality was super good. Go for it
Review: Great option for those broke High e string! - Life saver. You mostly tend to break single strings. Never understood why I should replace the entire set. Such a waste of resources and high time that musicians also start becoming ecologically aware of their actions. I got 8 gauge string for replacing the broken high 'e' string. This was a sealed pack and NOT rusted. So perfect for me. Only issue is the the price is slightly on high side, and non-availablity of some gauges. I plan to convert my set-up to real progressive tension set - hello D'Addario: real musicians do not want balanced tension, they want progressive tension set.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ D'addario Plain PL012 single strings review
*by A***H on 8 April 2025*

The strings can be used for both acoustic and electric guitar. Date of import is July 2024 by Deccan Music. No rusting. Good output of sound. MRP is Rs 90/string. Does the job well when your 1st and 2nd strings get broken, rather than buying the whole pack.
