Ernie Ball Earthwood 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Strings — Extra Light 10-50

Bright, Crisp 80/20 Bronze Tone

Ernie Ball Earthwood in Extra Light 10-50 delivers the classic bright, crisp, ringing acoustic sound that 80/20 bronze is loved for. It's clear and present up top with a full body underneath — the kind of lively voice that cuts through a strum and sparkles under fingerpicking. When they're fresh, these strings sing, which is exactly why 80/20 bronze has been a longtime standard for acoustic players.

Construction

Earthwood strings use an 80/20 bronze wrap wire — 80% copper, 20% zinc — wound onto a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core. The hex core gives the wrap wire something to grip for solid tuning stability and consistent intonation. These are uncoated strings, so you get that natural, unfiltered bronze tone right off the winder. Made in the USA.

• Wrap: 80/20 bronze (80% copper, 20% zinc) for a bright, crisp, ringing voice.
• Core: Tin-plated hex-shaped steel — grips the wrap for tuning and intonation stability.
• Finish: Uncoated — natural, full-bodied bronze tone.
• Made in USA.

Choosing Your Gauge

This set is Extra Light 10-50. Lighter gauges are easier on the fingers and bend and fret with less effort — a great match for lead work, lighter strumming, or smaller-bodied guitars. Heavier gauges bring more volume, low-end, and projection, which players often want for flatpicking and hard strumming. If you're between sizes, stop in and we'll help you land on the right feel for your guitar and your hands.
