Description
Ernie Ball’s Paradigm line represents a serious leap forward in acoustic string engineering, backed by the brand’s decades of experience shaping guitar tone since 1962. This 2090 Extra Light set uses 80/20 bronze wrap wire over a reinforced core, delivering the bright, classic Earthwood sound players expect while dramatically improving durability.
What sets Paradigm apart is the combination of ultra-high strength steel in both the plain and wound strings, giving up to 37% greater tensile strength and up to 70% more fatigue resistance compared to conventional sets. Strings tune up quickly, hold pitch under aggressive playing, and resist breakage far better than standard strings.
Longevity gets a boost too. A plasma-enhanced wrap wire fights corrosion, while Ernie Ball’s Everlast nano-treatment repels sweat, oils, and grime that would normally dull tone over time. Unlike many coated strings, there’s no flaking and no change in feel — you get all the lifespan benefits with none of the tonal compromise.
Ernie Ball stands behind this technology with a 90-day guarantee: if a Paradigm set breaks or rusts within that window, they’ll replace it.
- Gauges: .010, .014, .020, .028, .040, .050
