Smoother 12-string play without sacrificing brightness

The Ernie Ball Earthwood 80/20 Bronze strings are designed to deliver the "crystalline" and resonant acoustic tone sought by many 12-string guitarists. Their construction combines an 80/20 Bronze alloy winding (80 percent copper, 20 percent zinc) around a hexagonal steel core plated with tin, for precise attack and a harmonic-rich spectrum. With their light gauge 9-46 and soft tension, they facilitate playing on 12-string guitars while maintaining a strong presence in the mix, from delicate picking to more pronounced rhythms.
