The "80/20" Character: A Clear, Expressive, and Dynamic Sound
The Ernie Ball Earthwood 80/20 Bronze 22 strings are made from an 80/20 bronze alloy wire, meaning eighty percent copper and twenty percent zinc. This material choice is favored by acoustic guitarists seeking bright projection, strong presence in the upper spectrum, and excellent clarity, including on open chords and energetic rhythms.
The alloy wire winding around a hexagonal steel core plated with tin contributes to a more direct response and a controlled feel, while promoting a harmonically rich sound. The result: a string with a clear output, plenty of sustain, perfect for enhancing your playing dynamics and bringing out the nuances of your attack.
