Description
Restringing a 12-string shouldn’t be a chore, and Ernie Ball’s Earthwood 2152 set makes it worth the extra pairs of strings. Each string is wound with a wire blend of 92% copper, 7.7% tin, and 0.3% phosphorus over a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core — the same formula that gives phosphor bronze its warm, gold-toned look and long-lasting tone.
Once on the guitar, these strings settle into a mellow, ringing voice with plenty of clarity, so every octave pair chimes rather than clashes. That’s the sweet spot 12-string players chase: shimmer without mud, sustain without harshness. Fresh strings on a 12-string make a bigger difference than on almost any other guitar — dead strings dull the octave shimmer fast, and this set brings it right back.
Custom Light gauging keeps tension manageable across all 12 strings, which matters when you’re fighting a wider neck and doubled tension points.
