Description
There’s nothing quite like dropping a fresh set on your acoustic and hearing that first strum bloom with life again. Ernie Ball’s Earthwood Custom Medium set does exactly that, pairing 80% copper and 20% zinc wrap wire with a hex-shaped, brass-plated steel core for a tone that’s crisp on top and full underneath.
That 80/20 bronze construction is a longtime favorite for players chasing bright, ringing projection with rich overtones that don’t get muddy in the low end. The hex core gives the winding wire something solid to grip, so you get consistent intonation and a string that holds its voice strum after strum, session after session.
Custom Medium gauging (.0125, .0165, .024w, .034, .046, .056) sits right in that sweet spot between comfortable playability and real volume — enough tension to drive your top and fill a room, without fighting your fretting hand. Whether you’re flatpicking, fingerstyle strumming, or laying down rhythm, these strings respond with clarity and punch.
- 80% copper / 20% zinc wrap wire
- Hex-shaped, brass-plated steel core
- Bright, crisp tone with pleasing overtones
- Custom Medium gauge: .0125–.056
- Great all-around choice for steel-string acoustics
Old strings go dead fast — dull, muffled, hard to tune. Keep a set of these in your gig bag so you’re never more than five minutes from that new-string shine.
