Overview
A gigging acoustic setup or a home practice guitar benefits from these Ernie Ball strings, coated on both the hex core and the wrap wire. The very thin coating aims to protect without changing the warm phosphor bronze tone.
Longer life with a near bare feel is the reason to choose them: the coating is thin enough that fingers barely notice it. Medium light tension asks a bit more of the fretting hand than lighter sets.
Who it's for
Regular players whose strings go dull from sweat and who like a fuller gauge. Very new players may find a lighter set easier.
Pros and cons
- Coating protects core and wrap
- Very thin coating
- Warm phosphor bronze tone
- Sealed fresh packaging
- Medium light tension
- Not for electric guitars
Performance notes
Life comes from the Everlast treatment on both core and wrap, which slows corrosion inside and out. The thin coating preserves the phosphor bronze sound and feel, and the sealed packaging prevents aging before the set goes on.
