At Ernie Ball, we’re always pushing the boundaries of what guitar strings can be. With our new Earthwood Bell Bronze acoustic guitar strings, developed in collaboration with legendary guitarist John Mayer, we’re excited to offer players a fresh, dynamic sound.
What are Earthwood Bell Bronze acoustic strings?
Earthwood Bell Bronze acoustic guitar strings are crafted from a patent-pending alloy inspired by the materials traditionally used in bells and cymbals. This unique blend delivers a richer, fuller sound that enhances your guitar’s natural resonance and sustain.
How are Bell Bronze strings different from traditional acoustic strings?
Bell Bronze strings offer a sound profile distinct from both traditional 80/20 Bronze and Phosphor Bronze strings. They provide the sparkling top end of 80/20 Bronze with deeper, richer lows similar to Phosphor Bronze, creating an exceptionally balanced tone. According to John Mayer, these strings produce an orchestral quality, making them ideal for solo performances and dynamic settings.
Who collaborated on the development of Bell Bronze strings?
These strings were developed in close partnership with acclaimed guitarist John Mayer, whose meticulous standards and keen ear for tone guided the creation of Bell Bronze. Mayer has described these strings as a “giant leap forward in tone, playability, and durability.”
What gauges are available?
Earthwood Bell Bronze acoustic strings come in a variety of popular gauges to suit any playing style: Medium (13-56), Medium Light (12-54), Light (11-52), Extra Light (10-50).
What makes these strings ideal for solo performance?
The Bell Bronze alloy’s increased resonance and improved sustain allow each note to ring clearly and powerfully. This enhanced projection creates a full-bodied, vibrant sound perfect for solo performers who want their guitar to stand out.
What tension do these strings have compared to other strings?
The tension of these strings will be very similar to what you expect from other Earthwood acoustic strings. They will closely match our Earthwood Phosphor Bronze strings due to their similarity in density.
Where are Earthwood Bell Bronze strings made?
Like all Ernie Ball strings, Earthwood Bell Bronze acoustic guitar strings are proudly manufactured in the USA, at our facility in Coachella, CA.
How much do these strings cost?
The Earthwood Bell Bronze acoustic strings have a street price of $12.99 per set, offering outstanding value for a premium-quality string.
