D'Addario BW024 Guitar string

D'Addario BW024 — Replacement Acoustic Guitar String for Custom Set Building

The D'Addario BW024 is a single .024" gauge wound string designed for acoustic guitar, sold individually as part of the 80/20 Bronze Wound Singles series. This string addresses the common need for a replacement when one string breaks or wears out before the rest of the set, and it also serves players who want to build custom gauge combinations that don't match standard pre-packaged sets. The round wound construction with a hex core delivers the bright, crisp, deep, and projecting tone that has made 80/20 Bronze a recording-studio favorite since the 1930s, when John D'Addario Sr. and John D'Angelico co-created the original alloy. Nickel-plated steel construction provides consistent tonal character and reliable intonation across the fretboard.

Who This String Is For

This single replacement string is the right choice for acoustic guitar players who need a .024" gauge string without committing to a full new set. Fingerstyle players, flatpickers, and singer-songwriters who prefer the bright, crisp character of 80/20 Bronze for recording and live performance will find the tonal match they're looking for. The coated finish helps extend string life for gigging musicians who play frequently and want to reduce how often they change strings. Players building custom gauge combinations — mixing light tops with medium bottoms, for example — can use this single to complete their ideal setup. Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility, the BW024 maintains the quality standards the brand has upheld for decades.
