PACK OF 5 x 009 E ADAGIO Single Spare Electric Guitar Strings .009 Gauge 9

It is the E string that I break most often and I usually bought a set of strings. I have plenty of the others but needed just the E string. This is very good value. They are good quality strings.

I have never bought a supply of Top E strings before as I hardly ever break strings and hence replace them in full sets. However, my two sons both snap Top Es with alarming regularity and are always raiding my string supplies, typically breaking up full sets (even those provided with two Top Es - which I find somewhat annoying). So these 25 strings are really for them - sort of (see below). They are incredible value, arrived two days ahead of schedule and in minimal but excellent packaging. They were also accompanied by an Adagio chord and scale information card/sheet which should be useful to those embarking on their guitar playing career (e.g. my sons) but also as a refresher for the more mature player (e.g. myself) in terms of the scale diagrams. Although I have not used the strings yet, I have used Adagio electric and acoustic sets before and they play well given their price. I am sure I will not be disappointed. Oh, and the strings not raided by my sons; well, some of these will end up as laser cut wire fencing on a small "model" railway - an application that they are perfectly suited to given their gauge and strength. So there you go, Adagio make accessories for toy train sets too!

So annoying when you've paid out for a top quality set if strings and the high e snaps whilst tuning up. Why do they always break at the tuning peg end? Here's why. Take a very close look at the string hole through the peg, see the tiny burr left there after the hole was drilled, that's the problem (other than over tightening)So, taking a very small fine file carefully file off the burrs around the hole. Problem solved.Adagio strings represent decent quality at a reasonable price.

Perfect.

great, i went through 4 high e strings in a few months.. and i didn't want to buy 4 packs of a set, this was very helpful..

Once upon a time it was far easier to buy single strings in your local music shop. Not so easy now. However, 'Top E's' and 'G octaves' will always go when you least expect it. We'll, here's your answer. Much cheaper than buy extra sets when you don't really need to. Happy days :)

Great product for a great price

These are a godsend!I’ve lost count of the amount of top-EStings I’ve broken over the years.A spare set is not just a good idea it’s a must.Adagio are great strings.So a spare set of top E stings made by Adagio is a brilliant idea.Keeping the tone with the rest of the strings is important, so being able to buy a few spare top E stings is a luxury.The price is very competitive.I would highly recommend Adagio strings.They have a nice tone & stay in tune.However every now and then accidents happen- that where a spare set of top E’s come in very handy.
