Description
Ernie Ball’s Earthwood Custom Medium set fills the gap between standard light and medium gauges, giving players a bit more string tension and low-end push without jumping all the way up to full mediums. Each string pairs a hex-shaped, brass-plated steel core with an 80/20 bronze wrap wire — an alloy blend of 80% copper and 20% zinc that’s prized for its crisp attack and shimmering top-end.
That copper-heavy wrap is what gives 80/20 bronze its signature voice: strings arrive bright and articulate, with clear overtone content that suits flatpicking, strumming, and fingerstyle playing alike. As they break in, the tone settles into a warmer, more balanced character while still retaining plenty of ring.
This set runs a gauge spread of .0125, .0165, .024w, .034, .046, and .056, making it a solid option for guitarists who want the punch of a medium set with slightly less string tension on the fingers.
