If you play a 12-string acoustic, you know how much the strings matter — and Ernie Ball's Earthwood 80/20 Bronze set is one of the most trusted options out there. These are medium-gauge strings designed specifically for 12-string guitars, giving you a full, resonant voice with that characteristic shimmer that makes a 12-string so satisfying to play.
The Earthwood 80/20 Bronze strings are built from 80% copper, 20% zinc wire wrapped around a hex-shaped, brass-plated steel core. That alloy is what gives them their brightness and clarity — well-suited to strumming and fingerpicking alike. The medium gauge (.011–.052) offers a bit more tension and volume than light strings, making them a solid choice if you want fuller projection from your instrument.
Each set includes 12 strings — one for each course of your 12-string guitar. The paired gauges are: .011/.011, .015/.015, .024w/.010, .030/.014, .042/.022w, and .052/.028.
