Ernie Ball adds half-gauge sizes to their Earthwood range

Ernie Ball announced that its Earthwood bronze alloy strings now come in half-gauge sizes, for when you feel the need for your strings to be ever so slightly thicker or thinner.

On top of that, Ernie Ball Earthwood acoustic guitar strings have a whole new look! Now offered in all-new half gauges for both 80/20 and Phosphor Bronze, plus a new set of 12 String Custom Lights.

De geschiedenis van Earthwood

In early 1972, fueled by the worldwide success of the ever-popular Slinky electric guitar strings, the Ernie Ball "Earthwood" acoustic brand was born. Following the folk-rock, acoustic guitar boom of the mid to late 1960s, acoustic music and acoustic guitars, in particular, were becoming highly influential in contemporary music.

Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Kingston Trio, Crosby Stills & Nash en hardrockpioniers Led Zeppelin waren allemaal gecharmeerd van een akoestische stem en maakten historische opnames die de populaire muziek zoals we die nu kennen mede vormgaven.
