Overview
Replacement Guitar String Thickness 012 Single Metal Smooth Silver String with Ball End for Electric and Acoustic Guitar

Replacement guitar string in thickness 012 is sold individually and is used to replace a single damaged string. The package contains one string, it is not a set. It is metal, smooth, and silver, with a ball end on one side. According to the offer, it can be used on electric and acoustic guitars with metal strings. The string is supplied individually in a transparent bag, making it easy to store in a case.

Thickness 012 corresponds to a diameter of 0.012 inches, approximately 0.30 mm. This string is found as the thinnest in a standard set of strings for acoustic guitar ranging from 012–053, but it is also used by guitarists who have thicker strings on their electric guitars. A thicker thin string offers slightly more resistance to the fingers than thinner variants 010 or 011.

The individual string is a cost-effective choice for anyone who does not want to change the entire set due to a single broken string. The smooth surface without winding is pleasant to the touch and the ball end allows for quick installation into the bridge of an acoustic guitar or into the tailpiece and body of an electric guitar. The string is coiled into a circle and packaged separately, so you can identify it by the bag and not confuse it with other strings. If you use a set on your guitar that starts with this thickness, you can order several pieces to keep in stock. Replacing a single string is quick and can be done by even a beginner guitarist without special tools.

On an acoustic guitar, the ball end of the string is usually secured with a pin in the bridge, while on an electric guitar, the string is threaded through the bridge or the body of the instrument. Lead the free end to the tuning machine, winding it downwards and gradually tune the string. The first day after replacement, the string stretches, so check it more frequently. Store the string in its bag until use in a dry place.

The individual string 012 is a suitable backup for players of acoustic guitar and for guitarists with a thicker set on electric guitar. The package contains only this one string, so you can precisely replace what is missing on the instrument. The metal smooth string with a ball end is installed just like strings from standard sets. Individual packaging in a bag protects it during storage in a case or in an accessory bag. A few spare strings on hand are useful for anyone who plays guitar regularly.
