Description
Twelve strings means twelve chances for something to sound dull, thin, or out of balance—unless you load up with a set built specifically for the job. Ernie Ball’s Earthwood 12-String Phosphor Bronze Super Slinky set (EB2153) is engineered for the extra tension and octave-string pairing that makes 12-strings sing, giving you that lush, shimmering jangle instead of a muddy wall of sound.
The winding wire is 92% copper, 7.7% tin, and 0.3% phosphorus, wrapped around a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core. That combo throws off a light orange-gold hue and a tone that’s warm and mellow up front but stays clear and ringing on top—exactly what you want when octave strings are chiming in alongside their unison partners. Fresh strings on a 12-string is a night-and-day difference: dead strings smear those octave pairs into mush, while a new set snaps them into sharp, glassy focus.
Gauges run .009/.009, .012/.012, .020w/.009, .026/.012, .036/.020p, and .046/.026—light enough to keep your fretting hand happy across all twelve strings, but built to hold their tuning and tone through a full setlist or studio session.
- Purpose-built for 12-string acoustic guitars
- Phosphor bronze winding for a mellow, ringing tone with clarity on top
- Tin-plated hex-shaped steel core for stability and easy tuning
- Super Slinky gauging: .009/.009 through .046/.026
