Before dropping my new guitar in the guitar recycling bin, I bought these nylon strings, now all is happily tuneful. A joy to play, innit! Review: Warm and bright nylon strings! - I’ve been playing an electric guitar on and off for the best part of 17 years. For a variety of reasons, I’ve decided to move towards away from electric guitars and towards acoustic guitars, with my current axe being a fairly basic 4/4 classical guitar. These strings arrived exactly as pictured within the product listing and were relatively easy to fit. I made a mistake the first time trying to fit these strings, resulting in a ruined string, but generally the process is very similar to stringing an electric guitar as a result of the balls on the end of each string. The strings seem to hold their tuning well once broken in, but it did take a few days of playing to get to the point where I didn’t need to significantly retune before playing. The sound produced by these strings is fairly bright and warm, while also remaining somewhat clear. It’s hard to really describe but I’m pleased with the results. Overall I’m happy with these strings. So far they’ve held up for about two months, and they don’t seem to be going dull just yet. ## Features - Nylon guitar strings with 80/20 bronze wrap for a full, lively tone. - Multifiliment nylon core. - Equipped with ball-ends for easy installment. - Gauges .028, .032, .040p, .030 .036 .042. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002DVB9Y | | Best Sellers Rank | 6,540 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 245 in Guitar Strings | | Body Material | Nylon | | Colour | Clear & Gold | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (4,270) | | Date First Available | 13 Sept. 2008 | | Item Weight | 31.8 g | | Item model number | P02069 | | Material Type | Nylon | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Product Dimensions | 11.43 x 0.25 x 11.43 cm; 31.75 g | | Size | Single Pack | | String Gauge | 028-042 | | String Material | Nylon | | Voltage | 240 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ernie Ball - **Colour:** Clear & Gold - **Instrument:** Acoustic Guitar - **String gauge:** 028-042 - **String material type:** Nylon ## Images ![Ernie Ball Earthwood Folk Nylon, Clear and Gold Ball End, 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - 28-42 Gauge - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Q-Lud-VLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can these strings be used on a 3/4” guitar?** A: Yes they will work on 3/4 guitar. Ignore the guy talking about steel strings, nobody should ever use steel strings on a classical guitar or nylon strings on a steel string acoustic, I don't care how much you adjust your truss rod. This is Guitar Maintenance 101 here. **Q: Can this be used for guitalele’s?** A: yes **Q: Are these a light tension? (suitable for antique parlor guitars?)** A: I put these on a steel string guitar to give it a more mellow sounds and they feel better to play. The tension feels light to me but the sound is great. I don’t know about your specific situation but I do recommend them. **Q: Are these considered a light gauge?** A: These are a light series and soft on the fingers ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine and dandy. *by W***R on 21 February 2025* Recently purched a Grestch Jim Dando parlour guitar, but couldn’t find a set of strings that played well.
