80/20 Bronze Produces a Warm, Nuanced Tone

The 80/20 bronze winding wrapped around the nylon core gives the 2069 Earthwood strings a warm, mellow tone with clear, articulate highs. The bronze alloy consists of a striking a balance between the brightness of brass and the depth of phosphor bronze. This tonal profile pairs beautifully with nylon-string guitars, highlighting their natural resonance and woody qualities.

Multifilament Nylon Core Enhances Sustain and Feel

At the heart of the 2069 Earthwood strings is a multifilament nylon core that provides a resilient yet flexible base for the bronze winding. The nylon filaments are tightly twisted together, creating a core that maximizes sustain, enhances playability, and helps the strings hold pitch better over time. Guitarists will appreciate the familiar gauge, which yields a comfortable playing feel and balanced tension.

Precision-Engineered for Optimal Performance

All Ernie Ball strings are manufactured to the highest quality standards using state-of-the-art equipment and processes. The nylon core and bronze winding are carefully gauged and wound to ensure consistency across all string sets. Before packaging, each string is individually tested to guarantee maximum longevity, tuning stability, and tonal integrity. The result is a set of strings that plays, sounds, and feels like new for a long time.
