Product description
Ernie Ball Earthwood Silk and Steel 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings are made with an 80/20 bronze alloy wrap and steel core with a layer of silk in between. The silk produces a more mellow sound and makes the string feel more comfortable while reducing finger noise. Like our standard 80/20 bronze sets, tone is bright, yet slightly mellowed, while tension is also slightly lessened. Available in Extra Soft (10-50), Soft (11-52), Regular (13-56), and 12-String Soft (9-46).

- Reviewed in Canada on January 19, 2022Verified PurchaseSo far, the Earthwood Silk and Steel are the only strings that made my Fender Telecoustic sound good. I'm a play at home once in a while kinda guy so the guitar never gets a really tough workout...but after a few months (as others have mentioned) the G string broke. Mine broke at the tuning peg after developing a bit of an annoying buzz. Still...the sound was so good that I was all set to order another set but discovered that the shipping cost of the .10-.50 strings was more than the price of the strings. I came up with a farmer fix of the G string and am likely to try another brand. Very disappointing.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 27, 2025Verified PurchaseI was hesitant to buy strings from 鶹 because I was worried they might not be authentic. But they are and they sound amazing !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great strings for a beginner
Verified PurchaseI started learning guitar a few weeks ago and found the original strings I had on my acoustic guitar to be quite hard on the fingertips. I replaced them with these and have been much more comfortable ever since. They also sound great to boot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guitarras Folk o 3/4
Verified PurchaseSon una excelente opción, se las puse a mi Fender Malibu para que pueda tener un sonido más cálido y más acústico, el recubrimiento de seda que tienen definitivamente pone al nivel de Folk los instrumentos.
Nota: al ser cuerdas dirigidas para guitarras Folk y 3/4, no estoy seguro que puedan servir para las Dreadnought o Jumbo ya que son más cortas de lo que comúnmente son, para que consideren si realmente les puede servir.
