D'Addario PB029 Guitar string

Phosphor Bronze Single String for Acoustic Guitar — .029" Gauge

Designed as a direct replacement or for building custom sets, the D'Addario PB029 is a single .029" phosphor bronze wound string for acoustic guitar. Phosphor Bronze was pioneered by D'Addario in 1974 and has become synonymous with warm, well-balanced acoustic tone. The string features precision-wound phosphor bronze wrap wire around a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped high carbon steel core, delivering long-lasting brightness and excellent intonation. A coated finish helps extend string life by resisting the corrosion that typically dulls uncoated phosphor bronze over time.

Who Is This String For?

This single string is the right choice for acoustic guitar players who need a reliable replacement in the .029" gauge range or who want to build a custom set with non-standard gauges. It suits players who prefer the warm, bright, and well-balanced tonal character that phosphor bronze delivers across genres including folk, country, bluegrass, and singer-songwriter styles. The coated finish makes it especially practical for gigging musicians and players with acidic sweat who want to maximize string life between changes. Buying a single replacement eliminates the need to purchase a full set when only one string breaks, keeping the setup economical and convenient for any acoustic guitarist.
