Overview
Hex-shaped tin-plated steel cores carry wound strings of copper and zinc wire in this Ernie Ball Earthwood pack, and the plain strings are tempered high carbon steel. It is sold for replacing or upgrading acoustic strings.
Earthwood is aimed at players refreshing an acoustic, and the pack stocks enough for several changes. The description stresses projection and crisp highs, while the spec line calls the sound mellow and ringing. Entries for alloy and coating contradict each other, so check the sealed pack.
Who it's for
Players who already use Earthwood and want a multi-set stock. Anyone who must be sure about coating, or wants a warranty and weight in the listing, should ask the seller.

Performance notes
The copper and zinc winding around a hex core is what the description credits with balance and bright trebles, though the spec line leans mellow and ringing. Gauge sets tension and finger effort. Special packaging is described as preserving freshness before use.
