From the inventor of guitar strings

Strings made by Ernie Ball - the proverbial icing on the cake for a powerful sound with plenty of sustain. Since the early 1960s, the US company has been making strings for almost every stringed instrument. This vast wealth of experience is clearly demonstrated in every product, and it is not by chance that Ernie Ball remains one of the market's leading manufacturers to this day. The product range has expanded immensely over the course of several decades and now includes many accessories such as effect pedals, cables, straps, and high-quality picks alongside the company's extensive selection of strings. However, Ernie Ball's core business is and remains the production of all manner of strings, which set standards in terms of sound, tuning stability, and durability - and the company is still based in Indio, California.

Ernie Ball 2151 Earthwood Phosphor Bronze packaging

Phosphor bronze for a warm but still bell-like sound

The Ernie Ball 2151 Earthwood Phosphor Bronze strings are made with a winding composed of 92% copper, 7.7% tin, and 0.3% phosphorus, which guarantees a clear and bell-like sound as well as plenty of volume and excellent durability. With low-tension gauges of .010, .014, .020, .028, .040, and .050, the EB 2151 string set offers solo players in particular the best possible performance, delivering precise intonation along the entire length of the fingerboard and lasting tuning stability from the moment you put the strings on.

Traditionally reliable

Thanks to its long playing life, loud and well-balanced sound, precise intonation, and high tuning stability, the EB 2151 Earthwood Phosphor Bronze string set is particularly recommended as a reliable companion for ambitious acoustic guitarists who are looking for a high level of playing comfort combined with a rich, full sound for chord work. The combined power of over 50 years of experience in string development at Ernie Ball also makes the EB 2151 the first choice for acoustic guitars - and at a very fair price.

About Ernie Ball

The Ernie Ball company was named after its founder and has its headquarters in San Luis Opisbo, California. Being a guitarist himself, Ernie Ball knew their needs very well. A major problem for him in the 1950s and 1960s was the lack of high-quality guitar and bass strings. In 1962, Ernie Ball invented the “Slinky”, a very flexible and therefore much more comfortable string, which also sounded better and was more durable. He specifically brought individual string gauges onto the market for a young clientele and touring musicians. The company’s success was unstoppable, and today Ernie Ball is the world's largest manufacturer of guitar and bass strings. Over the years, the range has expanded and now includes accessories such as cables, picks, straps, etc. Ernie Ball is also known in connection with the instrument manufacturer Music Man, which the company bought in 1984, but which continues to operate as an independent brand.

Great for both chords and solos

The EB 2151 Earthwood Phosphor Bronze string set offers a great choice for acoustic guitarists who need both a comfortable playing feel for solo passages and a full sound for chord work. The strings' precise intonation means that chords and voicings will always sound warm and clear anywhere on the fingerboard. In addition, these Ernie Ball strings feature outstanding tuning stability as well as a direct response, all of which will be helpful in getting your timing as precise as possible. Those who instead go in for a "crisper" sound may prefer the regular Ernie Ball Earthwood Bronze strings, which are available with identical gauges but at an even more affordable price. A comparison between these two types of strings might be well worthwhile in order to exploit the guitar's full sonic potential and thoroughly explore your personal preferences in terms of playability.

Slinky Acoustics ...they are!!!

Eric286 11.02.2014

First impressions with these strings is positive. I am not a full time acoustic player, electric is my style, but I have a Larrivee L05 on which I always used Elixir Extra Light 10-47. The latter are brilliant strings (but expensive) but dont allow me to do electric style doodles and practice, because the wound 3rd G has bend limit, same as most acoustic sets. These are different in that they handle exactly like ErnieBall electric slinkies, comfy full bends and good tone/string balance. So for me they work, for a fingerpicker or strummer maybe limited, but electric crossover good. Now let's see how they last!

Excellent strings, unwound G good for bending!

TommyJoad 22.04.2020

I like this set because the G string is unwound and therefore it's easy to bend. It's good if you want to play solo with an electric guitar attitude. The quality of Ernie Ball strings is known.

As ever with Ernie Ball, these strings are top notch, cant fault them in any way.
Great tone, nice feel, and I got a long run of gigs out of this set - would happily use them again.
