And since plain guitar strings are among the most common strings on the market today, there are tons of different brands and types for you to consider. Not sure where to start your search for the perfect set? There's no better place than this fully-stocked selection of plain guitar strings.

In this section you'll find plenty of plain strings for both electric and acoustic guitars from all the big brands. D'Addario, Rogue, Savarez and more, they're all right here. Take for example, Martin's best-selling M130 Silk and Steel Custom Acoustic Guitar Strings. Ideal for daily play and a fantastic choice for all skill levels, these versatile strings are wound with silk on the lower strings which makes them flexible, extremely easy to play and really soft on your fingertips. A favorite among artists of every genre, these strings are said to lend themselves especially well to folk and country musical styles thanks to their smooth, mellow sound and bright, even tones.

Now, if you're looking for a set of plain guitar strings that function equally as well on your acoustic as they do on your electric, make sure you check out the 10-Inch Plain Steel Single Gauge Acoustic or Electric Guitar Strings from D'Addario.
