Description
Twelve-string guitars demand a set engineered for their doubled courses, and Ernie Ball’s Earthwood 2013 delivers exactly that. Each string is wound with 80% copper and 20% zinc wire around a hex-shaped, brass-plated steel core, a construction choice that keeps tuning stable while letting the bronze wrap do the tonal work.
The payoff is a crisp, articulate voice with the shimmering overtones 12-string players chase — plenty of top-end sparkle without losing low-end warmth, so chords ring out full and complex rather than muddy.
This custom light gauge set (.010-.048) is balanced across all six paired courses for even tension and comfortable playability:
- .010 – .010
- .014 – .014
- .022w – .009
- .030 – .012
- .010 – .018p
- .048 – .028
Whether you’re layering rhythm parts in the studio or want your 12-string to cut through a live mix, this set gives you the classic Earthwood bronze character tailored to the demands of double-string tuning.
