I recently re-strung my acoustic guitar with Ernie Ball Earthwood Custom Light Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. These strings have reinvigorated my playing experience in every way possible. The Custom Light gauge strikes a perfect balance between playability and tonal richness. These strings are incredibly easy on the fingers, making chord changes and intricate fingerpicking a breeze. But it's not just about ease – the tone they produce is absolutely fantastic.

This is a crucial factor for me, as it means I can spend more time playing and less time restringing. Ernie Ball is known for its quality, and it's evident with these strings. They are consistent in terms of gauge and tone, and I have yet to encounter a dud in any of the sets I've purchased. It's this level of reliability that keeps me coming back. As a guitarist, it's essential to have strings that inspire you, and Ernie Ball Earthwood Custom Light Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings do just that.

I have used Ernie Ball strings exclusively for over 50 years. They are packaged well, hold their tone better than any other string on the market, and are value priced. You can never go wrong with these strings.

First time using these strings on my acoustic guitar. They really do sounds great and have a nice feel to them. I will be trying them out on both of my acoustic guitars to see how versatile the tone is

  • OK.
Style: Light (11-52) Size: 3-Pack
These are good strings. A little too bright for me. Sounds changley when you strum them. Not to my liking, but they would be ok if you are on a tight budget.

  • My favorite strings
Style: Medium (13-56) Size: 3-Pack
For my D-18 and D-28 this is my go to string. Yes they corrode quickly but that’s the point. When these are a few weeks old they just make the guitar sound old and rustic. The tone is like nothing else. I’ve played all the other expensive strings that purport to give you the best tone, but for my Martins these just sound the best. ... show more

I’ve used Martin strings for years but thought I would try this brand. Durability and tone are my priorities. Since I’ve just begun using this item, time will tell if my preferences are met.
