Earthwood Medium Light 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings 3-pack, 12-54 Gauge (P03003)

I HAVE USED ELIXER 13/56 PHOSPHOROUS BRONZE FOR YEARS. THEN I TRIED 12/53. THEN 11/52, THEN I BOUGHT THE 10/50s. WOW! WHAT A SURPRISE! GREAT VOLUME! FANTASTIC TONE! AND SO MUCH SUSTANE! AND THE BONUS ITEM IS THE STRINGS ARE EASIER ON THE FINGERS BECAUSE OF THE SMALLER DIAMETER. AND PLAYING THE BLUES IS GREAT BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO BEND THESE STRINGS PLAYING BLUES, AND THE TONE IS OVERWHELMING!. THESE ARE NOW ON MY 5 GUITARS. HEY GUYS! A MAJOR DISCOVERY FOR AN 82-YEAR-OLD SENIOR! AND THESE STRINGS DON'T COST AN ARM AND A LEG! I SUGGEST YOU GIVE THEM A TRY AND ALSO READ THE REVIEWS! AND THESE STRINGS HAVE CHANGED FOR THE BETTER, THE SOUND OF MY GUITARS!

These are great acoustic strings. They're zingy and bright early on but not spikey, brittle or harsh. Right from the first tuning the low strings reveal nice round bass tones from thumb Travis-Picked lines. Strums are airy and open with drop D tuning sound especially deep and sonorous with these strings. The acoustic I put these on is an older Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-500. About 10 years old, the solid mahogany back & sides and solid spruce top have opened up and the whole guitar is resonant and full. I played a good 2 to 3 hours on these over 2 days and the break in so beautifully. The high end eases back, not so strident & metallic and takes on a cystal clarity with supporting mids and audible harmonics. You have to mute adjoining strings when tuning because any open strings will sympathetically ring out harmonics. They are that responsive. The Martin strings I changed to these were only 2 weeks old and frankly never, even first strum, sounded as good as these Ernie Balls. People debate how long you should go before changing acoustic (and electric for that matter) strings. I personally think changing strings every gig or every session is overkill. You'll hear from roadies of famous touring guitarists (McCartney's band, Chili Peppers, Clapton, Foo Fighters) that they change strings every gig. That may be easy to do when you're making $45,000 for a two hour show. Playing the blues club for beer & wings might be a tougher proposition to pull off. I feel unless you sweat very acidic sweat, which I've heard of, changing strings should only be done when you first notice they just dont feel, sound or tune right. The life of a string does alter the sound profile over time, but I like a set of worn in strings on rhythm guitar and straight strumming acoustics. If the wrapped strings get gunk in them or the unwrapped strings are turning black then change them. I use Finger Ease before I play which makes the back of the neck nice and fast and the strings get slick and fast without feeling coated or sounding muted. The spray helps prolong strings in my view and at under $5 here at Amazon I feel its like a mandatory guitar case item. Try these and many others and you'll find "your" strings. I've been playing for 20+ years so lots of trial and error has guided me to my preferences. The Martin strings on my acoustic before these were put on to try, I still like to check things out, but more than likely I go back to my favorites. These Earthwoods, especially the way the Ernie Ball acoustic .11's don't feel too slinky like some other brands "Extra Light" or .11 gauge packs can be. I love Fender 3550 Bullets .09's for my Strat & electrics but just got some Ernie Ball Cobalts to try...at $5 here on Amazon trying different brands occasionally to experiment won't break you. Just give them a good 2 to 3 weeks of solid playing before issuing your final verdict. All just my opinion of course, be cool...

Absolutely fantastic strings! Ernie Ball Earthwood Extra Light are the perfect choice for any acoustic player looking for effortless playability and a rich, warm tone. The extra light gauge makes fingerpicking and strumming feel smooth and easy, without sacrificing depth or clarity in the sound. These strings bring out the natural resonance of my guitar beautifully, with bright highs and balanced lows that work well across different genres. Plus, they hold up impressively over time, staying fresh and vibrant for longer than expected. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, they make every session enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Great strings. Ernie Ball makes great strings. Priced good as well.

My husband bought these and he couldn’t be happier. They’re durable, improved the sound and made him have a more comfortable playing experience - as a non-musician, I could definitely notice a difference in the sound quality!

I decided to go with a lighter weight of strings on my acoustic. Installation was easy as usual and stayed tuned well. I like the sound of these light weight strings.

I have used these strings in the past and the functionality and tunability are great. Nice and durable for acoustic guitar. The length and fit is perfect. And has a nice feel on your fingers.

I have an Ibanez V-70 acoustic guitar that came with stock strings that were really hard to fret and the guiat sounded...mediocre. After replacing them with the Earthwood Medium Lights, the guitar seemed to find its voice and began to sing. Very nice strings.

Great set of strings, already ordered another 2 sets as standby

Die Saiten haben einen schönen Klang und sind für den Preis sehr hochwertig! Werde ich wieder kaufen 👍🏼
