Description
The Ernie Ball EB1016 is a .016 gauge plain steel string crafted for guitarists who want precise control over their string setup rather than settling for a fixed set. It’s made from specially tempered, tin-plated high carbon steel, the same core material used across Ernie Ball’s electric and acoustic string lines, known for a bright, articulate tone and dependable pitch stability.
Ernie Ball was the first to offer plain steel strings as individual, custom-gauge purchases, giving players the freedom to mix and match gauges to build sets tailored to their own tuning, playing style, or tone preference. Whether you’re replacing a snapped string mid-set, experimenting with a non-standard gauge combination, or just keeping spares on hand, this single .016 string slots easily into both electric and acoustic guitar setups.
- Gauge: .016 plain steel
- Material: tin-plated high carbon steel
- Suitable for electric and acoustic guitars

Keep a few on hand as backups, or use them to round out a personalized gauge combination — a small, practical addition to any guitarist’s string case.
