Ernie Ball EB-2148 Earthwood Acoustic Guitar Strings – phosphor-bronze wrap, light gauge .011-.052, warm mellow ring
Strum an open G and the room glows amber. That comes from Earthwood’s signature 92 % copper / 7.7 % tin / 0.3 % phosphorus alloy wrapped around a responsive tin-plated hex-core: the recipe that coaxes a mellow, ringing voice with piano-clear overtones from any steel-string box. At light gauge .011-.015-.022w-.030-.042-.052 your fingers glide through bends and Travis-style patterns alike, yet the bass strings keep enough mass to drive a dreadnought’s soundboard for porch-shaking lows. Whether you fingerpick folk hymns or flat-pick bluegrass runs, the shimmering top end never turns brittle and the midrange sits sweetly in the vocal pocket.
Phosphor bronze’s natural corrosion resistance fights stage sweat, while Ernie Ball’s micro-polish finishing means less finger-squeak when the mics are hot. Each set leaves Coachella Valley sealed in an airtight foil pouch, landing on your doorstep factory-fresh thanks to Elit Music’s fast shipping and 30+ years of string-matching wisdom. Tune up, strike a chord and hear why Earthwood has scored countless unplugged sessions since the ’70s.
