D'Addario BW026 Guitar string

D'Addario BW026 — Single Replacement String for Acoustic Guitar

This .026" gauge single string comes from D'Addario's 80/20 Bronze Wound series, designed specifically for acoustic guitar. It serves as a direct replacement for a worn or broken string, or as a building block for players who want to assemble custom gauge sets tailored to their playing style. The 80/20 bronze alloy — a blend of 80% copper and 20% zinc — gives the string its characteristic bright, crisp tone with strong projection and a deep low end. Made in the U.S.A., it carries the same construction quality as D'Addario's full string sets, just sold individually.

Who Is This String For?

Acoustic guitar players who need a single replacement string at the .026 gauge — typically the 3rd (G) string in a standard light or medium set — will find this an ideal match. This single string is also well-suited for players who prefer to mix gauges from different sets to create a custom tension and feel. The 80/20 bronze construction suits those who want a bright, articulate tone with crisp note clarity, making it appropriate for strumming, flatpicking, and fingerstyle playing across genres from folk and country to rock. Sold as a single string, it's a cost-effective solution for anyone who only needs to replace one worn string rather than an entire set.
