The Silk \u0026amp; Steel construction delivers lower perceived tension, so the strings feel easier to fret, easier to bend, and less harsh on your fingertips during long sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core is steel, and the wound strings are wrapped in 80\/20 bronze, but with a silk\/fibre layer as an “intermediate” part of the construction. This is what provides the extra-soft, almost played-in feel under the right hand and a more controlled top end. Tonally, you land in a warm, sweet and mellow direction with less sharp attack than many standard 80\/20 bronze sets, making them ideal for fingerstyle, folk and studio\/recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set fits a standard acoustic guitar with standard ball-end and pin bridge. Gauge isn’t listed entirely consistently everywhere for this model, so if you depend on a very specific thickness, you should double-check the specific listing before purchase. Also note that the lower tension can feel a bit “looser” with a hard attack, and some users may experience slightly less volume and projection than with a thicker\/standard set – in return, they’re excellent for taming very bright guitars and making the tone rounder and more pleasant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ernie Ball","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53965908181315,"sku":"1102047","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/4090\/7587\/files\/1102047.jpg?v=1765216054","url":"https:\/\/www.soundstorexl.com\/products\/ernie-ball-2047-earthwood-80-20-silk-steel-extra-soft","provider":"SoundStoreXL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
