Plain Guitar Strings

Made in the UK from high tensile steel, these plain strings are ideal for replacing a broken string, keeping as spares in your case or creating your very own custom gauge set of strings. Suitable for use on electric or acoustic guitar, these plain strings are used in all Rotosound guitar string sets.

Specially selected for their strength and powerful tone, these plain strings are included in Rotosound's Rotos, British Steels, Pure Nickel and Ultramag electric guitar string sets. They are also used in Rotosound's Jumbo King, Super Bronze, and Tru Bronze acoustic guitar sets.

Great British quality

Manufactured in the UK to precise tolerances and using only the finest materials, you can rely on Rotosound strings for consistent tone and performance in every packet.

Iconic music strings

This innovation continues Rotosound’s proud legacy of cutting-edge string design that started with our roundwound strings in the sixties.

Developed in conjunction with some of the world's top artists, Rotosound strings are synonymous with timeless tone, longevity and rock history.

Started in 1958 by James How, an engineer who made strings for his own instruments, Rotosound became known around the world for its superior quality products and famous endorsees such as Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Queen to name just a few. The Who’s John Entwistle started a long partnership with James and helped develop the Swing Bass roundwound strings which have become the industry standard.

Gathering the most prominent artists over the following decades from Jaco Pastorius to The Edge, Oasis to Guthrie Govan, Rotosound has been the go-to string for every music generation.
