WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
The Ernie Ball Earthwood Folk nylon strings provide a good steel string sound but are much softer on fingers from a reputable brand. |
There are lots of nylon classical guitar strings on the market that claim to have an individual tone and feel, but these a are a cut above the rest where their basses are concerned they are the crispiest going and give outstanding projection without muddy buzz. |
