Ernie Ball: String Alloys - Acoustic Earthwood Phosphor Bronze

Description
The Ernie Ball Earthwood Phosphor Bronze Custom medium acoustic guitar string are constructed with 92% copper, 7.7% tin and 0.3% phosphor bronze wrap wire, providing a warm, balanced tone with excellent clarity. The custom medium gage of .012–.056 is ideal for most playing styles and tunings on acoustic guitars. Made in California, USA, Ernie Ball guitar strings are precision wound with the finest materials under the highest quality control standards.
Phosphor Bronze for Natural, Even Tone
The phosphor bronze alloy wrap wire is specifically engineered to produce a mellow, full-bodied tone from acoustic guitars. Phosphor bronze maintains an even, natural tone across all six strings in the set with a blend of warmth, clarity and dynamics suited for any style. These strings settle in quickly to produce their optimal tone within a short break-in period.
Optimized Medium Gage for Versatile Play
The custom medium .012–.056 gage is a versatile, all-purpose string set compatible with standard and dropped tunings. The medium gage provides enough tension for a clear, ringing tone while still being flexible and playable. These strings handle nicely for strumming, fingerpicking and flatpicking styles. The balanced tension across all six strings produces an even, consistent feel when changing between strings.

I use these strings on everything from my 50 year old Martin D-28 to my 28 year old Taylor 810 and plan to put them on my new Taylor 814CE. There are a few lesser guitars in between and they do just fine with the Ernie Ball Earthwounds as well. They have a great sound, even temperament across all 6 strings. I find they last nearly as long as strings that cost 2x or more as much. These are my go to strings and I always have some on hand. I also love that they are available in 12.5s that I prefer on my dreadnought guitars.
Great product!
