Review: Give them a week. - I love the tone of Ernie Ball Earthwood acoustic strings, but I hate changing the strings so often. I bought these for their longevity, but read some bad reviews about their sound. After playing them for about 4-5 days, I was about to agree with their lower quality sound. I planned on changing them out the next weekend, but as the weekdays went on, their sound got sweeter and sweeter. By the next Saturday I was in love with the tone my solid wood spruce/mahogany Guild was ringing out. If you don’t like there strings, give them a week or two. They may surprise you with the best sound you’ve ever heard coming out of your guitar. ## Features - Ultra-high strength steel core wire and smooth strings - Ernie Ball proprietary nano treatment repels oils, resists corrosion and keeps your tone vibrant longer - Iconic earthwood tone and feel, combined with ultimate strength for long lasting durability - Phosphor bronze produces a warm, rich tone with excellent projection and clarity. - Made in the USA. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N9X41VA | | Body Material Type | Bronze | | Brand | Ernie Ball | | Brand Name | Ernie Ball | | Coating Description | Coated | | Coating description | Coated | | Color | Medium Light 12-44 | | Colour | Medium Light 12-44 | | Connector Type | / | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 290 Reviews | | Finish Type | Bronze Plated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00749699120766 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | Guitar Strings | | Instrument | Acoustic Guitar | | Item Type Name | acoustic guitar strings | | Item Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Ernie Ball | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2076 | | Material Type | Bronze | | Model Name | Phosphor Bronze Medium Light (12-54) | | Model Number | P02076 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Classical Guitar | | Set Name | Paradigm Medium Light | | Sound Profile | Warm and Rich | | String Gauge | Medium Light | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | String gauge | Medium Light | | String material type | Alloy Steel | | UPC | 749699120766 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ernie Ball - **String Gauge:** Custom - **Color:** Medium Light 12-54 - **Instrument:** Acoustic Guitar - **String Material Type:** Coated Phosphor Bronze ## Images ![Ernie Ball Paradigm Medium Light Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - 12-54 Gauge - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815U7hYuzyL.jpg) ![Ernie Ball Paradigm Medium Light Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - 12-54 Gauge - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ke4fiBUAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: best strings to buy for a Washburn Acoustic/Electric guitar?** A: For beginner start with extra light. Acoustic strings can be unforgiving on your finger tips with callases built up. Earthwoods last quite a long time. Most strings will tarnish in the open air after 45+ days. Good luck! **Q: Hello Guys I would like to ask this strings peel off or flaking after few uses of picks? Thanks** A: not for me! **Q: Are these good for a Classical/Spanish guitar?** A: No they are not. You would need to use a Nylon string for your Spanish or Classical Guitar. These are steel strings. Kind Regards, Troy ksmusiccenter **Q: How well do these work for alternate tunings ??? What guage would you suggest for that ?** A: I’m not much of an alternate tuning player very often, but if you’re going to play slide &/or use a capo, then I’d recommend the heaviest gage your guitar will handle. To my knowledge that is. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing.. *by A***H on 26 November 2020* Exceptionally warm tone and playability. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Give them a week. *by K***K on 19 November 2020* I love the tone of Ernie Ball Earthwood acoustic strings, but I hate changing the strings so often.
