Crafted from 80% copper and 20% zinc wire, wrapped around a hex-shaped tin-plated steel core, the Ernie Ball 2002 Earthwood 80/20 Bronze medium acoustic guitar strings provide a balanced tone. The 80/20 bronze alloy delivers a blend of warmth and crispness, with an emphasis on rich lows and clear highs. All Ernie Ball strings are precision manufactured to exacting standards, ensuring optimum performance, consistency, and longevity.

80/20 Bronze for a Perfect Acoustic Blend

The 80/20 bronze wrap allows the 2002 Earthwood strings to evenly highlight the low, mid and high frequencies of your acoustic guitar. The slight scoop in the midrange provides clarity while still retaining warmth, making the Ernie Ball 2002 Earthwood strings suited for a variety of musical styles.

Hex Core for Resistance and Sustain

At the center of the 2002 Earthwood strings is a hex-shaped tin-plated steel core wire that provides stability and maximizes sustain. The tin plating prevents corrosion while the hex core adds mass to the string for enhanced volume and note definition. The combination of the 80/20 bronze wrap and hex core results in strings that sing with gorgeous overtones.

Precision and Longevity

All Ernie Ball strings are manufactured to the highest standards using state-of-the-art machinery and processes. String gages and alloys are carefully calibrated to produce a consistent feel and tone. The 2002 Earthwood strings are built to last, providing weeks of playing time before needing a change. When it's time for a new set, you can rely on the same renowned Ernie Ball quality and craftsmanship.

A String for Every Acoustic

With gages ranging from .013 to .056, the 2002 Earthwood set has a string for every acoustic guitar. The medium gauges—.013, .017, .026, .036, .046, .056—are a versatile choice for most standard acoustics. For extra brightness, the light set may be preferable. Heavier gages are also available for lower tunings. No matter your acoustic or playing style, Ernie Ball has a string set to suit your needs.
