Ernie Ball Extra Light Acoustic Strings

Ernie Ball strings have been a top choice for players of all types since the early 1960s, when guitarists came into Ernie Ball's music store, customizing their string gauges to make their axes easier to play. After fruitless attempts to interest major guitar manufacturers in a lighter set of strings, Ernie Ball decided to start making his own. From shredders to acoustic virtuosos, Sweetwater guitarists love Ernie Ball strings for their great tone, reliable performance, and long life. You can't go wrong when you string up with Ernie Ball strings!

Ernie's Extra Light Earthwood 80/20 Bronze strings are made from 80% copper, 20% zinc wire wrapped around hex-shaped tin plated steel core wire. They provide a crisp, ringing sound with pleasing overtones.

First time

These were the first set of Ernie Ball strings I've ever used and I love them, pair that with Sweetwater's ability to go beyond expectations and I'm reminded why they're the first place I look.

For the first time use

Sound: big, bright and warm with strumming and pickingstyle. Definitely recommended.
Rated 5/5

My new favorite strings

For the past year I tried different kinds of strings every time I changed strings. I thought my favorite was the phosphor bronze version of these, now that I've tried these I don't plan on changing anymore. I have a small body guitar (Orangewood Oliver M), that is more on the bright side, but these give it a fuller sound. And the price is great.
Rated 5/5

BEST 80/20 STRINGS I HAVE EVER USED

And it is not even close. Phosopher bronze didn't come in until 1974. These are the strings used by Hank Williams, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Everly Brothers, Johnny Cash, you name it. Used on every record made from the last 40s until the mid 70s. Good enough for them good enough for me.
Rated 5/5

Sounds Great, Last Long and Easy on Your Fingers

They sound great and are easier to play than phosphorus bronze lights. They last along time if you're careful to wash your hands before playing and wipe your strings with a clean cloth after each use. When I switched from lights (12-53) to these (10-50) I didn't have to adjust the russ rod on my Taylor Academy 12e and there was no fret buzz. They're made in Southern California where the humidity is low. They are then packaged to resist humidity to keep them as fresh as when they were made.
