Overview
Not a standard wound-third acoustic pack, this Ernie Ball bundle pairs two Earthwood Rock and Blues sets, each with an unwound G-string. One set is bronze and the other phosphor bronze, both on hex-shaped, brass-plated steel core wire.
Comparing a bright, balanced bronze voice against a rich, clear phosphor bronze voice is simple with both in hand. The listing does not state whether each is a single set, and its gauge field reads inconsistently.
Who it's for
Players who bend notes on acoustic guitar and like an electric-style third string. Those who prefer traditional wound sets, or coated ones, should look at other string packs.
Pros and cons
- Plain G-string for lead playing
- Two alloys in one order
- Hex-shaped core wire
- Brass-plated steel core
- Pack count per set not stated
- No coating mentioned
- Gauge field inconsistent
Performance notes
The bronze set produces a bright, balanced sound with pleasing overtones, while the phosphor bronze set brings a rich tone with clear definition. With no winding on the third string, bends on that string behave as on an electric set. Both sets share the same hex-shaped core wire.
