Ernie Ball Earthwood Silk & Steel Soft acoustic guitar strings are constructed with an 80/20 bronze wrap wire over a steel core, with a layer of silk between the core and wrap. This design produces a warmer, more mellow tonal response while providing a smooth, comfortable feel under the fingers.
The silk layer helps reduce finger noise and string stiffness, making these strings well suited for players who prefer a softer touch or a more relaxed playing feel. Compared to standard bronze acoustic strings, Silk & Steel sets offer a gentler attack and a more rounded sound, particularly on lighter or more responsive instruments.
Earthwood Silk & Steel Soft sets are available in multiple gauges and are designed to deliver consistent feel and balanced tension across the set.
