Why Musicians Choose Earthwood
Earthwood 80/20 Bronze strings are a favorite among acoustic players for their brilliant top-end and full low-end response. On a 12-string guitar, this translates to shimmering highs, lush chords, and a wide, open voice that fills any room. The 11-48 gauge makes them approachable for players who want resonance and projection without the extra tension of heavier strings.
