A signature blending classical tradition and innovation
The Ernie Ball Tim Henson strings are classical guitar strings designed to push the boundaries of nylon playing. Born from a close collaboration with the artist, they embody an approach where contemporary technique, musicality, and sound research converge. The result: a set that retains the soul of the classical guitar while delivering a more "modern" feel under the fingers.
A set designed for precision, groove, and versatility
Thanks to their medium tension and carefully distributed gauges, these strings adapt equally well to melodic phrasing as to rhythmic and percussive passages. The fluorocarbon trebles offer clear definition and excellent articulation, while the silver-plated copper basses provide body and dynamic response, useful for maintaining presence even in complex chords or dense arrangements.
