Ernie Ball EB-1680 12-string ultra light – maximum jangle with minimal tension
Ernie Ball EB-1680 is an extra-light 12-string acoustic string set for those who want the classic 12-string “chime” without having to fight high string tension. The low-tension feel makes barre chords easier, gives you more stamina for long sessions, and can be a big relief for hands and wrists, especially on 12-string guitars that otherwise feel stiff.
The sound is bright, open and shimmering, with clear articulation in arpeggios and light strumming – the kind of top end that makes chords ring like a bell and delivers that characteristic “jangle”. The wound strings are roundwound in 80/20 bronze, so the attack feels lively and responsive, while the smooth plain strings in tin-plated high-carbon steel provide clear, accurate intonation.
The set is designed for 12-string steel-string acoustic guitars and typically suits scale lengths from 62.9 to 64.8 cm (24.75" to 25.5"). It’s an obvious choice if you want to tune down a whole step and use a capo to reduce overall tension on the neck and top, while still keeping the 12-string chorus effect. Note: the very thin plain strings (incl. .008) can be more sensitive to heavy picking or if there are sharp edges in the nut/bridge, so correct installation and smooth contact points are especially important. As an ultra light set, it can also feel less full in the low end and have less headroom for aggressive strumming than heavier 12-string sets.
