Overview
Ernie Ball builds these light acoustic strings from phosphor bronze wire wrapped around tin-plated hex-shaped steel core wire, and this listing sells them in a pack of twelve. The finish is a light orange, gold color.
A bulk pack of light sets suits players who change strings often or share a stock among several guitars. Without a coating, tone life is a matter of playing habits, and the listing mixes series names.
Who it's for
Acoustic players, teachers and repair shops that restring often and prefer a mellow, clear tone. Players who want a single set, or coated strings, should look at other packs.

Performance notes
