Phosphor Bronze Wraps for Warmth and Nuance

This blend produces full lows, shimmering highs and complex overtones, ideal for crafting layered, emotive acoustic tones. The phosphor bronze windings are wrapped around hex-shaped brass-plated steel cores for maximum resonance, sustain and tuning stability.

Precision-Wound for Flawless Intonation

Using state-of-the-art winding machinery, Ernie Ball strings are precision-wound to the tightest tolerances, ensuring each string has the exact same wrap spacing for perfect intonation up and down the fretboard. This precision-winding, combined with the highest quality core wires and wrap alloys, gives Earthwood Phosphor Bronze strings their hallmark clarity, balance and tuning stability.

Medium-Light Gage for Comfort and Playability

With gauges of .012, .016, .024, .032, .044 and .054, Ernie Ball 2146 Earthwood Phosphor Bronze Medium-Light strings have a medium-light gauge that provides a slinky, playable feel for effortless fretting and strumming. The balanced tension makes barre chords and complex fingerings a breeze while still providing enough tautness for a clear, ringing tone.

Sealed for Freshness

All Ernie Ball strings are treated with an ultra-thin coating that protects the windings from environmental damage and corrosion without hindering their acoustic properties. They are then hermetically sealed to lock in freshness. This ensures your Earthwood Phosphor Bronze Medium-Light strings sound as vibrant and tonally rich as the day they left the factory, even after repeated use and exposure to moisture or sweat.
