Ernie Ball 2006 Earthwood Extra Light 80/20 Bronze Acoustic String Set (10-50)

I've been using Ernie Ball's Earthwood Rock N Blues Strings for over a year as of the time of writing this review. I'll get straight to the point - > Absolutely great for the price. Ernie Ball's never disappoint. > The G string does sometimes tend to lose it's tuning faster than other strings. But any good guitarist knows to tune their guitar before playing, everytime. So it should be fine for most players. > These strings are made for rock and blues playing, so string bending, vibrato, etc. are a breeze, but at the same time, the tone isn't the same as what folk/country/most pop songs may sound like. So if you're not a blues & rock person, this may not be the tone you're looking for. > If you're a beginner, you can definitely try these strings. Barring chords might be slightly easier. And you might fall in love with the Blues.

Hey, I’ve been a guitarist for over 6 years now. Being one, you are almost always faced with a nightmare,the breaking of strings. Wanting a quick replacement, I bought this one and oh boy is it great. These sound so great and are surprisingly durable for their price. If you are looking for guitar strings that won’t put a huge hole in your wallet and also sound great, look no further than this set. These are great, just don’t go looking for an out of the world sound though, they are, after all, strings that come at a cheap price.

For the first two weeks, it seemed like I was playing a 50k guitar rather than a 5k one. The tone is amazing, feels nice to play as well. Only problem is that it catches the humidity of India quite easily. 3 weeks in and I started noticing corrosion, 7 weeks in the high E string tore. Otherwise a fine product.

Good

Awesome strings these are currently my 23rd set of ernie Ball. The best features of these strings are that they are engineered in such a way that the do not break easily. I changed into this new set post 6 months of using old ernie Ball rock and blues. At the end of the 6 th month the sound dies out very quickly when strummed, but it all depends on you how long you want to keep playing a particular set of strings. Also I would recommend buying a ghs fret Polish(fast fret) so that the strings don't catch rust easily. All in all its a very good buy worth the money.

Good ones.. specially if you use bending or play blues... However the g string has disappointed me. It is basically toneless. Overall good one for the budget.

They don't rust, I've used one set of these for nearly six months, then changed to a fresh set of this, strangely enough, the old set didn't lose much tonality, just the brightness was a little bit low. Used D'Addarios before, they also sound good, but tend to rust way too quickly in the temperate weather of Bengal. Sounds beautiful, plus the g string is unwound, so bends and vibratos can be done easily! *I replaced the low strings of a 3 month old daddario set with more than a year old Ernie Ball Rock n Blues and the result is a way brighter sound.

Very crunchy sound, ideal for soloing or riffs (as mentioned for Rock and blues style). If it isn't for the humid weather, these strings last long and feel nice too. Absolute value for money.

Great set of strings, already ordered another 2 sets as standby

Die Saiten haben einen schönen Klang und sind für den Preis sehr hochwertig! Werde ich wieder kaufen 👍🏼

Bellissimo packaging, tutto molto ordinato, organizzato. Le corde sembrano robuste, belle lucenti. Per quanto riguarda il suono, farò sapere appena le monterò.

Good strings to make an overly bright guitar a tad darker. Last well

Hatte auf meiner Jumbo immer die standard 12-53 Seile und deswegen hing sie meistens nur an der Wand ,weil sie damit unbequem zu spielen war (harte Saitenspannung). Dass ich auch noch viele andere Gitarren (Acoustic,E-Gitarren) besitze ,trug auch zu ihrer Vernachlässigung bei. Witzigerweise war diese Gitarre deswegen immer mein Fingerkrafttrainer (schön Barre-Akkorde halten!) ,wenn ich mal zu oft nur auf E-Gitarren (wenig Kraftauwand für Handmuskeln) gespielt habe Vor kurzem nahm ich sie dann mal wieder in die Hand und mit der Erkenntnis,dass diese schöne Gitarre (massive Decke) deutlich dünnere Saiten braucht, damit ich sie gerne spiele und klanglich zum Leben erwecke... Die Ernie-Balls 10-50 waren genau,dass was sie brauchte...klingt sehr gut (auch nach der "Honeymoon"-Phase,wenn neue Saiten ihre künstliche Brillianz verlieren). Die Gitarre läßt sich jetzt großartig bespielen und tönt viel dynamischer/offener!/leichter Ok,7 Euro sind jetzt nicht wenig, aber es hat sich absolut gelohnt,weil ich die Gitarre jetzt täglich gerne in die Hand nehme
