Ernie Ball EB-2150 Earthwood Acoustic Guitar Strings – phosphor-bronze wrap, extra-light gauge .010 .014 .020w .028 .040 .050, mellow ringing clarity
Strike an open chord and the guitar breathes in amber. Earthwood’s celebrated 92 % copper / 7.7 % tin / 0.3 % phosphorus alloy, spun round a tin-plated hex-core, releases a voice that glows with warm overtones yet shimmers in the top end. At extra-light tension your fretting hand feels almost weightless: barre chords fall under a whisper, bends bloom without protest and complex jazz shapes no longer tax tired fingers. Finger-style folk players love how the .010 first string melts beneath vibrato, while strummers revel in the airy projection that lets a parlour or OM model sing above a crowded camp-fire.
Because phosphor bronze naturally resists corrosion, evenings of sweaty coffee-house gigs won’t rob the strings of their honey-gold sparkle, and Ernie Ball’s micro-polished wrap wire glides beneath the fingertips with barely a squeak—engineers will thank you when the red light is on. In flat-picking passages the .040 and .050 basses still carry enough mass to keep your rhythm grounded, yet they speak quickly, never thudding. Each set leaves the California desert sealed inside an airtight foil pouch, so fresh alloy aroma greets you at every restring.
