Description
Swap out your dead, dull-sounding strings for a set that actually cuts through the mix. Ernie Ball’s Earthwood Rock and Blues set pairs 80% copper / 20% zinc bronze winding with a hex-shaped, brass-plated steel core — the classic 80/20 recipe that delivers a bright, punchy tone with plenty of top-end sparkle.
What sets this Rock and Blues set apart is the plain G string. Instead of a wound third, you get a bare steel string that rings out crisp and clean, layered with pleasing overtones that wound G strings just can’t match. It’s a favorite among players chasing that raw, bluesy edge or aggressive rock strumming.
Gauges run 10-52, a versatile light-to-medium spread that balances comfortable bending with solid low-end punch:
- .010
- .013
- .017 (plain)
- .030
- .042
- .052
Bronze strings lose their sparkle fast once oils and air get to them, so keep a few sets of these on hand — your acoustic will thank you every time you restring with fresh Earthwoods instead of playing through that flat, lifeless stretch before a change.
