The Ernie Ball 2144 Earthwood Phosphor Bronze Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings deliver concert-quality sound and playability for acoustic musicians. Made from phosphor bronze wrap wire and brass-plated steel hex cores, these medium gauge strings, .013-.056 produce full, balanced tone with clear, ringing highs and pronounced low end. The phosphor bronze alloy is specifically engineered for acoustic instruments, enhancing warmth, projection and tuning stability. Whether fingerpicking or strumming, the Ernie Ball 2144 Earthwood strings help acoustic guitars reach their full potential with a natural, resonant voice.

Warm, Rich Tone for Acoustics

Phosphor bronze is an ideal material for acoustic strings, producing a warm, rich tone with shimmering high end. The Ernie Ball 2144 Earthwood strings are made of phosphor bronze wrap wire surrounding brass-plated steel hex cores. This blend yields full lows, clear mids and ringing treble frequencies perfect for acoustic guitars. Musicians will delight in the resonance, sensitivity and tonal balance of these medium gauge strings.

Enhanced Playability and Tuning Stability

In addition to rich tone, the Ernie Ball 2144 Earthwood strings provide enhanced playability and tuning stability. The phosphor bronze alloy has natural flex and give, allowing strings to be bent and shaped without losing tune. Musicians will appreciate how these strings hold pitch accurately through dynamic performances and complex fingerpicking passages. A brass plating on the hex cores also improves string-to-string consistency and tuning stability.

Versatile Medium Gage for Most Playing Styles

With gauges ranging from .013 to .056, the Ernie Ball 2144 Earthwood strings have a versatile medium gauge suitable for most acoustic playing techniques and musical styles. The balanced tension and flexibility of these strings work well for rhythmic strumming, melodic fingerpicking, open tunings and standard tuning. Guitarists seeking an all-purpose, gig-ready set of acoustic strings need look no further than the Ernie Ball Earthwood Phosphor Bronze series.
