An acoustic string set designed for comfort and musicality
The Ernie Ball Earthwood Silk & Steel Extra Soft 2047 strings are aimed at acoustic guitarists who want a pleasant feel while maintaining a clear and musical projection. The gauge 10-14-20w-28-40-50 facilitates bends, left-hand chords, and fingerstyle, while keeping a solid foundation in the lower spectrum to accompany with a pick.
Brilliance, balance, and harmonics: the Earthwood signature
Made from an 80% copper and 20% zinc alloy wire wrapped around a hexagonal steel core wire, these strings deliver a bright sound that "rings," with beautiful definition and flattering harmonics. A relevant choice if you are looking for an expressive acoustic capable of highlighting both arpeggios and open chord playing.
