Ernie Ball Earthwood Silk & Steel Soft 80/20 Bronze 12-String Acoustic Guitar Strings are designed for players seeking a mellower acoustic tone and a more comfortable playing feel on 12-string guitars. These strings combine an 80/20 bronze wrap wire with a silk layer between the wrap and steel core, reducing tension and finger noise while producing a smooth, balanced response.
The silk & steel construction softens the attack compared to standard bronze strings, making this set especially well suited for lighter touch playing, extended sessions, and vintage-voiced or smaller-bodied 12-string acoustic guitars. The soft 9–46 gauge offers easier fretting and reduced overall tension, helping improve playability without sacrificing clarity.
Earthwood Silk & Steel strings are a practical choice for players who want a warmer sound and a more forgiving feel from their 12-string acoustic.
