Ernie Ball Aluminium Bronze Acoustic Strings.


Introducing the newest addition to the Ernie Ball lineup- the Aluminium Bronze Acoustic strings. These great new strings are a redesign of the classic Ernie Ball Slinky and feature more prominent low and high frequencies with added projection in comparison to a standard Slinky set. Another added benefit of using the Aluminium Bronze set is the blend of copper and aluminium wire is more resistant to sweat, acids and other string contaminants, meaning as a player you get more life out of each set.

Being used to the Ernie Ball Regular Slinky set I decided to restring a few familiar guitars (a Gretsch Jim Dandy Parlor and a Taylor 320e) with the Aluminium Bronze in the same gauge. I found them to have a quick break in time, excellent tuning stability and while on the Gretsh they were a little harsh out of the pack, after a few sessions of playing they warmed up nicely. They Taylor performed beautifully with the Aluminium Bronze strings and had some added low end frequencies with the highs still ringing through nicely. Overall these strings are well balanced and definitely worth a try on your favorite acoustic.
