An "Earthwood" tonal color: brightness, presence, and musicality

Designed for the acoustic guitar, the Ernie Ball Earthwood 2043 combine the clear character of the 80/20 alloy with a softer feel typical of silk & steel sets. The result: precise attack, bright upper spectrum, and pleasant harmonics, while maintaining refined playability to accompany singing, work on arpeggios, or enhance the punch of pick playing.

Ernie Ball made history in strings by being the first to offer strings sold individually and by helping to standardize gauges. Many artists have played the brand over time, including Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Chris Cornell, Eagles, Maroon 5, Counting Crows, Buddy Guy, Aerosmith, and many more.
