Review: Great strings! A repeat purchase! - These are my favorite strings and I was happy to find them on desertcart with such quick shipping! I’m not the most advanced guitarist but I find that they play really well and are comfortable on my fingers, even if I’ve been playing for a few hours. They are labeled well and easy to string on the guitar. I also find that I don’t have to tune very often, and when I do they’re only slightly out of tune. This set has been on my guitar for about 2 months and they still sound great, bright but not tinny and the lows have a good amount of bass without sounding muddy.
Review: Dollar for dollar the best acoustic strings going - These are great acoustic strings. They're zingy and bright early on but not spikey, brittle or harsh. Right from the first tuning the low strings reveal nice round bass tones from thumb Travis-Picked lines. Strums are airy and open with drop D tuning sound especially deep and sonorous with these strings. The acoustic I put these on is an older Epiphone Masterbilt AJ-500. About 10 years old, the solid mahogany back & sides and solid spruce top have opened up and the whole guitar is resonant and full. I played a good 2 to 3 hours on these over 2 days and the break in so beautifully. The high end eases back, not so strident & metallic and takes on a cystal clarity with supporting mids and audible harmonics. You have to mute adjoining strings when tuning because any open strings will sympathetically ring out harmonics. They are that responsive. The Martin strings I changed to these were only 2 weeks old and frankly never, even first strum, sounded as good as these Ernie Balls. People debate how long you should go before changing acoustic (and electric for that matter) strings. I personally think changing strings every gig or every session is overkill. You'll hear from roadies of famous touring guitarists (McCartney's band, Chili Peppers, Clapton, Foo Fighters) that they change strings every gig. That may be easy to do when you're making $45,000 for a two hour show. Playing the blues club for beer & wings might be a tougher proposition to pull off. I feel unless you sweat very acidic sweat, which I've heard of, changing strings should only be done when you first notice they just dont feel, sound or tune right. The life of a string does alter the sound profile over time, but I like a set of worn in strings on rhythm guitar and straight strumming acoustics. If the wrapped strings get gunk in them or the unwrapped strings are turning black then change them. I use Finger Ease before I play which makes the back of the neck nice and fast and the strings get slick and fast without feeling coated or sounding muted. The spray helps prolong strings in my view and at under $5 here at desertcart I feel its like a mandatory guitar case item. Try these and many others and you'll find "your" strings. I've been playing for 20+ years so lots of trial and error has guided me to my preferences. The Martin strings on my acoustic before these were put on to try, I still like to check things out, but more than likely I go back to my favorites. These Earthwoods, especially the way the Ernie Ball acoustic .11's don't feel too slinky like some other brands "Extra Light" or .11 gauge packs can be. I love Fender 3550 Bullets .09's for my Strat & electrics but just got some Ernie Ball Cobalts to try...at $5 here on desertcart trying different brands occasionally to experiment won't break you. Just give them a good 2 to 3 weeks of solid playing before issuing your final verdict. All just my opinion of course, be cool...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stay away from the 2006 extra light & get these 2008 rock & blues instead.
*by D***. on March 28, 2026*

I got the 2006 extra light strings 1st. The G string is coiled or wrapped. The coil frayed & had nicks in it almost right away. I decided to get the 2008 rock & blues strings for my other acoustic guitar to give them a try. Soo much better & the G string is not coiled. I ordered a 2nd set yesterday & got them today with free shipping. I replaced the 2006 strings for these 2008 strings. Big difference, they are softer & sound & play way more better.😉 Do yourself a favor & stay away from the extra light ones & get these 2008 rock & blues instead. My uncle has been playing for yrs & told me these are the only ones he buys. They are much brighter as well.
