Overview
Single Guitar String Thickness 017 Smooth Metal Silver with Ball End for Electric and Acoustic Guitar Sold Individually

The single guitar string in thickness 017 addresses the situation when a single string breaks on your guitar and you do not want to replace the entire set. You purchase it individually, so the package contains one string. It is smooth, metal, silver in colour and has a ball end. The seller lists it as a string for electric and acoustic guitars with metal strings, which you can install in the usual way into the bridge.

The number 017 indicates the diameter of the string in thousandths of an inch. The string has a diameter of 0.017 inches, which is approximately 0.43 mm. It is thus among the thicker smooth strings, which in sets are usually just before the first wound strings. The string is supplied coiled in a circle in a transparent bag, which protects it from bending and tangling. This allows you to store it for a long time in your guitar case or in an accessory box, and you have it readily available when needed. Before purchasing, check the thickness of the string you wish to replace. You can find it on the packaging of the original string set, where manufacturers list the thickness of each string separately. By selecting the same thickness, you will maintain a balanced sound and feel while playing. A single string is also useful when you have a set on your guitar where the strings are still functioning well, and you only need to replace that one damaged string. This way, you save on strings that would otherwise go unused. When tuning, proceed slowly and do not stretch the string beyond the desired pitch to avoid it breaking immediately after installation.

When installing, first remove the old string and check that the bridge and tuning peg are clean. Insert the ball of the new string into the bridge and thread the end of the string through the hole in the peg. Wind the string under slight tension to create several regular turns on the peg. The new string will initially stretch and tuning will change in the first few days, so it is sufficient to tune it more frequently. Wiping the string with a dry cloth after playing will remove sweat and dirt.

The string 017 is a practical backup for players of electric and acoustic guitars with metal strings. You order only as many pieces as you really need, and you do not have to change strings that are still in good condition. Thanks to the ball end, you install it just like other strings of this type. The individually packaged piece takes up minimal space in your case. With a thickness of 017, it complements a set in which this string has broken or lost its sound.
