The "80/20" tone: clarity, presence, and precision
The Ernie Ball Earthwood 80/20 Bronze 56 strings are designed for acoustic guitarists seeking a bright upper spectrum and clear articulation. Thanks to an 80/20 bronze alloy wire (80 percent copper, 20 percent zinc) wrapped around a hexagonal steel core plated with tin, these strings deliver a clear sound rich in harmonics with plenty of sustain. An excellent choice to bring brightness back to a guitar, enhance attack definition, and achieve well-sustained low bass depending on your tuning and instrument.
