Description
Ernie Ball built its name on strings that keep working musicians in tune and on stage, and the Paradigm 2086 set pushes that legacy further with reinforced construction backed by a 90-day guarantee against breakage or rust. This Medium Light 80/20 Bronze set (gauges .012, .016, .024w, .032, .044, .054) is engineered to survive aggressive strumming and heavy touring schedules without sacrificing the bright, ringing Earthwood tone acoustic players expect.
The core advantage lies in Ernie Ball’s ultra-high strength steel, used in both the plain and wound strings, which raises tensile strength by up to 37% and fatigue resistance by up to 70% compared to conventional sets. Strings tune up quickly and stay locked in place even under heavy-handed playing. A plasma-enhanced wrap wire adds a further layer of corrosion resistance, while the Everlast nano-treatment repels sweat, skin oils, and grime that typically dull tone over time.
Unlike many coated strings, Paradigm sets don’t trade feel for protection—there’s no flaking, no altered texture under the fingers, and no loss of sustain. You get the full-bodied, articulate voice of 80/20 bronze with meaningfully longer usable life.
