Ernie Ball Earthwood Rock and Blues Acoustic Guitar Strings

Bring a more flexible, expressive feel to your acoustic guitar with Ernie Ball Earthwood Rock & Blues 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings. This unique 10-52 set combines the crisp, ringing character of Earthwood 80/20 Bronze with a plain .017 G string, making bends and lead work easier than with a traditional wound-G acoustic set. At Northeast Music Center, these are a great choice for electric players moving between electric and acoustic guitar, blues players who like to bend notes, or anyone looking for a lighter and more flexible acoustic setup.

Made for Rock & Blues Players

The standout feature of this Earthwood set is the plain G string. Most conventional acoustic sets use a wound third string, but Ernie Ball substitutes a plain .017, creating a noticeably different playing experience. The G string bends more easily and gives players accustomed to electric guitar strings a familiar response when moving to an acoustic.

Classic Earthwood 80/20 Bronze

The wound strings use Ernie Ball's traditional 80% copper / 20% zinc bronze alloy around a hex-shaped steel core. The result is the crisp, ringing sound and pleasing overtones associated with the Earthwood 80/20 Bronze family. Whether you're strumming rhythm parts, digging into blues runs or mixing chords with single-note lead work, the Rock & Blues set provides plenty of clarity and articulation.

The Northeast Music Center Difference

Strings can completely change the feel of an acoustic guitar, and the Earthwood Rock & Blues set is a perfect example. At Northeast Music Center, we like this set for players who want acoustic tone without the stiffer feel of a conventional acoustic string setup—particularly guitarists who frequently switch between electric and acoustic. If easier bending, a plain G and crisp 80/20 Bronze tone sound like the right combination for you, give these a try. Available now at Northeast Music Center.
