Overview
Ernie Ball places a layer of silk between the bronze wrap and the steel core in this twelve-string Earthwood set. The silk softens the voice, eases the feel under the fingers and quiets finger noise, and four packs are included.
Four packs mean spares for a long run of gigs and rehearsals, and the soft gauges are gentle on a twelve-string neck. The limitation is that the seller is a reseller, so the brand field names a third party and no warranty or tension data is given.
Who it's for
Folk, fingerstyle and singer-songwriter players with a twelve-string who like a softer response. Hard strummers wanting projection, or anyone needing a warranty, should look at other options.
Pros and cons
- Silk layer softens the tone
- Reduced finger noise
- Four packs in one order
- Made for twelve-string guitars
- Less bright than plain bronze
- Reseller listing, no warranty
Performance notes
The silk layer lies between the wrap and the core, which dampens vibration slightly and cuts the squeak of fingers on the windings. Soft gauges hold neck tension down across twelve strings. The bronze wrap still supplies some clarity over the mellow base.
