Earthwood 80/20 Bronze

Guitar strings, Ernie Ball. Nothing more to say really, good quality.

I've heard good things about these strings, and I thought I'd try them out as replacements for a set of D'Addario phosphor bronze EJ16 strings. Both sets of strings were medium light (12s). I was using a Faith Naked Mercury - a mid-range parlour sized guitar, which I mainly use for picking (a little strumming with fingers, but I don't generally use a plectrum). I don't know how this review would translate to a larger bodied guitar (but I intend to try them on a couple). My first impressions: I really like the tone. They don't have that jangly new sound of freshly changed strings, which doesn't really work well for my style of play. I'm not sure I'd describe them (as some others have) as "bright". They seem to have a fairly earthy sound to them. Good across the tonal range. Plenty of clarity, but not really brightness. They're a delight to play: responsive and tactile. I don't do much string bending, so can't comment on that. If you're doing simple fingerpicking (folk, blues, etc), these are definitely worth a shot. I've only had them on a day, so we'll have to see how they age (both in terms of tone and longevity), but, to be honest, the D'Addario strings were not great in that respect (and I don't like the Elixir nanocoated ones, which are long lasting but have that weird slippery feeling).

Great strings as always

Ok

Fantastic strings

Great strings with easy installation

These really are great sounding strings

Despite being Medium-Light strings, I found that it was sill relatively easy to play bends. There is a good long lasting tone, however, when I first used the strings, I found that they required slightly more strength to use than my previous strings. Maybe go for Light strings if you’re a beginner, but having said that I don’t really think that these are much harder to use than light strings. They just take a little getting used to.

Been searching for a perfect string for my all solid wood Koa which is naturally bright sounding and very resonate. Most strings usually add to that natural brightness produces undesired tiny or metallic like overtones when playing more aggressively and in some cases even when less aggressive. As the guitar opened up it became more audible. So after testing out various string makes and gauges and avoidng under $10 string sets I decide to give these Ernie Ball Earthwoods 12-54 a try. Negatives...makes fingertips black and longer tha normal to settle in and stay in tune. Positive...no annoying overtones and gave my guitar a richer fuller mellow tone. I love these strings. The black on fingertips lessen after a day or so and the strings stay in tune. The guitar is resonating better than it ever has due to higher tension of these strings. Not for every guitar but for mine they are the best so far. It sounds amazing . 51 yrs of playing guitar I highly recommend these if you prefer a more warmer sound out of a guitar. I canèt speak for their longevity yet but for this price I don;t care if they don't last as long as other strings. I might try the EB Phosphorus/Bronze just to see how they compare.
