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.

Uniquely Great Strings!
A uniquely gauged set with a hair heavier low E and A strings than you usually see on "light-gauged" acoustic guitar sets. I think Ernie did something unusual with the alloy as well. These strings sound much clearer than other brands that I've tried with a stronger fundamental tone. They sustain longer, tune easier and seem to hold their pitch better too. FYI - they start off a little bright, but settle in quickly. You owe it to yourself to give them a try.

Not warm tone as told
I am using these strings on my acoustic until the stores open back up and I can get another set.

These strings have a soft and warm tone that sounds great for anything, but especially fingerpicked melodies. I just put a fresh pair on my Luna acoustic, and it plays smooth. It also doesn't lose any clarity in the chords though, which is sometimes an issue with warm sounding strings. I think I'll stick with these for a long time. #sweepstakes

I like using these strings when paying multiple venues. Very bright, yet bassie for that live acoustic sound. I swapped them out at every show.
I would definitely buy this item again. They are perfect!

These strings are very affordable. I have a Fender Classic parlor guitar, I used a new set of locking tuners, but I ran Elixir strings. They sounded to schrill. But this new strings have a better action, and just enough bass to them tone more to county/ bluesnsound. Even finger style sound incredible.
