D'Addario PB036 Guitar string

D'Addario PB036 Phosphor Bronze Single String for Acoustic Guitar

The D'Addario PB036 is a single replacement string designed for acoustic guitar, wound in phosphor bronze over a steel core. At .036" gauge, it serves as a mid-register string in a standard 6-string set — typically the low G or D position depending on the player's tuning. This single-string format is the practical solution for replacing one broken or worn string without buying a full set, and it also lets players build custom gauge combinations that match their playing style.

Who It's For

This single string is the right choice for acoustic guitar players who need a .036" replacement without buying a full set. It suits players who break individual strings mid-gig, those who want to experiment with custom gauge combinations, and anyone who prefers the warm, balanced tone of phosphor bronze for fingerstyle, strumming, or flatpicking. The ball-end design ensures compatibility with any standard acoustic guitar bridge, and the round-wound phosphor bronze wrap delivers the bright, well-balanced acoustic character that has made this string series a go-to choice since 1974.
