A beautifully warm and expressive nylon-core string set with the clarity of 80/20 bronze wound strings — ideal for folk, nylon and hybrid acoustic players.
The Ernie Ball Earthwood 2069 set blends the smooth, expressive response of nylon strings with the clarity and projection of 80/20 bronze wound bass strings. This unique combination gives folk and nylon-string players a rich tonal palette — warm, balanced and beautifully resonant.
The ball-end design ensures easy installation on acoustic bridges where traditional tie-on nylon strings are not compatible. Ideal for hybrid classical/acoustic setups or players exploring new tonal textures.
1. What makes these strings different from standard nylon strings?
The treble strings are pure nylon, while the bass strings are bronze-wound over a nylon core — giving you more clarity and projection than classical nylon.
2. Can I use these on a regular acoustic guitar?
Yes, the ball-end design allows installation on acoustic steel-string style bridges. Perfect for hybrid tones.
3. Will these strings damage a classical guitar?
Not at all — they use nylon cores and normal nylon tension. They’re safe for classical or folk guitars.
4. How do they feel compared to steel strings?
Softer, smoother, and easier on the fingers — but with better brightness and articulation than pure nylon sets.
5. How often should I change them?
Nylon doesn’t rust, but bronze will slowly lose brightness.
Casual use: every 2–3 months
Frequent playing: every 4–6 weeks
