D'Addario BW039 Guitar string

80/20 Bronze Wound Single String for Acoustic Guitar

This .039" gauge single string from D'Addario's 80/20 Bronze Wound series is designed for acoustic guitar players who need to replace a worn or broken string without buying a full set. Round wound construction with nickel-plated steel wrap wire delivers the extra-bright tone and deep, projecting bottom end that 80/20 Bronze is famous for. The 80/20 Bronze alloy was co-created by John D'Addario Sr. and John D'Angelico in the 1930s, making it one of the original acoustic string formulations still in use today. As a single string, it allows players to customize their gauge selection or replace just one string in their existing set. All D'Addario strings are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA at their New York production facility.
