Ernie Ball P02148 Earthwood Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings — Light 11-52

Mellow, ringing phosphor bronze with excellent clarity.

Ernie Ball Earthwood Phosphor Bronze in Light 11-52 gives your acoustic a warmer, rounder voice than 80/20 bronze without giving up definition. Ernie Ball describes the tone as "a mellow, ringing sound, with excellent clarity" — strong fundamentals, a smooth top end, and the balanced character that has made phosphor bronze the everyday choice for acoustic players. Light is the in-between gauge — more volume and body than Extra Light while staying comfortable under the fingers, which makes it an easy everyday choice.

Phosphor bronze that holds its tone.

Earthwood Phosphor Bronze wrap wire is 92% copper, 7.7% tin, and 0.3% phosphorus, wound over a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core. The tin and phosphorus in the alloy slow corrosion compared to plain 80/20 bronze, so a fresh set keeps its warmth and clarity longer between changes. The hex core grips the wrap wire for solid tuning stability and consistent intonation. Uncoated, with the light orange-gold color phosphor bronze is known for.

Construction:

• Wrap wire: 92% copper / 7.7% tin / 0.3% phosphorus bronze for warm, long-lasting tone
• Core wire: Tin-plated hex-shaped steel for tuning stability and grip
• Plain strings: Tin-plated high-carbon steel
• Finish: Round wound, uncoated
