Plain Electric Guitar Strings

No string lasts forever - that's a fact of life for any musician who plays a stringed instrument. And when it comes to guitar strings, it goes without saying that the plain strings are the ones that need changing most often. After all, they're the lightest strings on the instrument, so when they're played hard, they're bound to wear down from all that flexing. That's why it's not unusual for a guitarist to build up a supply of spare plain electric guitar strings, and if it's time for you to do that, you've come to the right place. Available in bulk in this section, these strings will have you covered whether you're an individual guitarist or a teacher supplying your whole class.

If you're looking for the absolute best bang for your buck, you'll find Rogue guitar strings hard to beat. In packages of 12, like the Rogue P10 Bulk 12 Pack 010 Plain Steel Electric Guitar Strings, they make it a breeze to keep a large stock on hand without straining a tight music program's budget too far. And they're available in gauges from 008 through 022, so every guitar is covered. On the other hand, maybe you're looking for strings a little more on the premium side? In that case, take a look at D'Addario: they pack 5 strings at a time into sets such as the D'Addario PL011-5 Strings, which is just about right for the working musician who won't go through replacements quite as fast as a large group.

There's room for plain electric guitar strings in any collection of electric guitar accessories - and for most of us they're a must-have, since you never know when a string might need replacing unexpectedly. And since even the highest-end string set has a few plain strings alongside its round ones, it's safe to say that every guitarist can find something here that will be a right fit for his or her instrument. Go ahead and take a look for yourself, and make sure you have the strings you'll need for all those gigs and practices on the horizon!
