Overview
A rock or blues acoustic player gets bright, ringing tone from the Ernie Ball Earthwood Rock & Blues set, wound in bronze alloy. Lighter treble strings ease fretting, heavier bass strings give body, and two full sets come in corrosion-shielded packs.
The light top and heavier bottom suit bending lead lines and strumming in the same set. Bronze is brighter than phosphor bronze, and that brightness fades with playing time.
Who it's for
Strummers who bend notes and want sparkle get a set voiced for rock and blues, plus a backup. Players after a darker tone should look at phosphor bronze sets.
Pros and cons
- Two sets per package
- Light trebles for easier bends
- Heavier bass for fuller lows
- Sealed packaging slows corrosion
- Coating not listed
- Bright bronze tone fades with playing
Performance notes
Bronze windings give a crisp attack with strong overtones, and the lighter top strings bend with less force. The shielded packaging limits oxidation before installation, but once fitted the strings age with play like any uncoated set.
