Works the same. On my acoustic, I just push it down a hole behind the bridge and a peg holds it in place. I've been using Ernie Ball strings since the 70's and they have always been like this. **Q: Would this guage be suitable for Gibson Acoustic guitar with 12-53 guage?,would Ihave to widen nut slots?** A: Hi there, these should fit on your Gibson no problem. **Q: Do these sets have a plain or wound G?** A: Hi thereIt's a very thin wound stringThanksRockem **Q: Would these be any good for a 3 string cigar box guitar?** A: This instrument is an Appalachian dulcimer. You can hear one played on Joni Mitchell "Blue", opening track, They have three strings or sometimes three double-course arrangements or a variant of this. Any guitar strings will be OK for length but you need to decide the gauge yourself - depends on how you tune it. Start with a wound "D", a wound "G" and a plain "B" or "E". Buy these separate rather than sets. If you don't know how to tune it - Google or listen to Joni Mitchell's "Blue" and Fairport Convention "Unhalfbricking" has a track with featured dulcimer. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If your acoustic sounds dull, these bring it back to life *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 August 2026* If you are wondering whether changing to these strings will make a tired acoustic sound brighter again, yes. Fresh strings make a huge difference, and these Ernie Ball Earthwoods have that clear, lively sound you want from 80/20 bronze.The 11-52 gauge is a nice balance because it still feels comfortable to play without losing that proper acoustic ring. They make an old set of strings feel flat by comparison, which is usually the sign that the change was overdue.My tip would be to stretch them in gently after fitting and retune a few times while they settle. Reliable, bright sounding and easy to recommend. Five stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very bright tone *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 18 May 2026* Nice bright tones recommend these strings guitar sounds great with these on ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality strings *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 September 2025* Bought these to replace old strings on a newly purchased second-hand dreadnaught acoustic. Strings are well packaged and protected, play well and produce a great sound (much improved from the old set). The only issue was the 11 string snapped while being tensioned, meaning we needed to keep the old string in place for a while and buy another pack to replace it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ernie Ball Earthwood Light 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, 11-52 Gauge (P02004) - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 10-46 Gauge (P02221) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/47988846-earthwood-80-20-bronze](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/47988846-earthwood-80-20-bronze) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
