John 3:16,17 NIRV\n\n18 Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because [b]he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him].

Never changing string brands from now on unless EB changes their formula or I get a new acoustic that demands a different set of strings.\n\nFrom day 1 to day 100, these sound good even though I have very clammy hands. May not work for you, but as for me, these are my favorite strings so far in my entire acoustic playing life. Highly recommended.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I ordered a bunch of different electric and acoustic strings last week. I like to use different gauges, materials, or brands. I usually like pretty light strings but sometimes on acoustic I enjoy 12-54. In general I like Ernie Ball strings for acoustic guitars. I change strings fairly often and don't care about expensive fancy coatings. On average I change every 100 hours or every 45 days on Seagull acoustic. When I had the Taylor 714ce I only used Elixir strings. On the Seagull I like to try assorted strings. [side note: If you've never checked Godin's Seagull brand, check them out. Nice sound, versatile, good looking, under $1000, made in North America.] Anyway... I put these Ernie Ball 2146 Earthwood Medium Light Acoustic Phosphor Bronze on today at 3pm. Played it for a couple of hours to break in the strings. Sounded great from first good stretch and tune. Had to tune up every 30 mins which is absolutely normal for new strings. I came back around 8pm and decided to capture some ideas in my head. So I tuned up and recorded the entire 40 minute session with the guitar uninterrupted stream of consciousness. I never needed to pause and tune up. It was bright and exhibited all the delicious tones that a Dreadnought in the hands of hippie should make! Everything felt right while I was playing so I just powered on from idea to idea. It's a warm humid day so I I put the guitar down after that session and played back the recording. These strings sound amazing. 40 minute session of various intensity playing with string, picking and palm muting. Lots of light hammer on/offs. The strings were bright as sunshine and they broke in amazingly fast. They both felt and sounded good. Wow. I am just going to order a few more sets so always have these around. Next month I try a different Ernie Ball set with .11-.52 which is more my norm."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I am rating the "extra-light" Earthwood acoustic strings. These are .010 to .050 gauge, phosphor bronze. These are for small guitars, guitars that cannot hold strong tension, or for beginner players without calluses on their fingers. They are of very good quality, maybe the best you can get, but this thickness is not made for most professional grade acoustic guitars in the U.S. as you will get buzzing on the higher strings, or buzzing and rattle across the whole guitar. You would need to go with regular "light gauge" string packs that show .011 or better yet .012 as the highest E string if you want better sustain and fuller, richer tone, that is if your fingers can handle them.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'A set of Ernie Ball acoustic strings, individually packaged in paper envelopes and all contained inside a sealed plastic bag. If you are familiar with guitar strings you know exactly what to expect here; there are no surprises in the packaging.\n\nString gauges are: 54, 44, 32, 24, 16, 12. The 16 and 12 are plain wire strings, the other four are phosphor bronze wound.\n\nI have a standard-size Dreadnaught style acoustic and I had around 4-6 inches of extra on each string after I put them on, so they have plenty of length.\n\nThey have a nice bright sound, a little "zingy" when you first put them on but they calm down after a couple of days of play.\n\nI will buy these again in the future.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I\'m a beginner with one year of playing. I\'ve tried several different brands and types of strings mostly to understand the differences. I\'ve learning in a Blues/Folk track and listen to Neil Young, Dylan etc. Honestly of have nothing bad to say about any of the strings I\'ve tried. They\'ve all been great to experiment with and it\'s so amazing to hear the sound change with each.\n\nThe "Ernie Ball Earthwood Phosphor Bronze Medium Light Acoustic Guitar" are exceptional though. I can\'t nail down exactly what it is, but these strings sound amazing. I think it\'s a balance in the base and high tones/notes. The sound is clean but has something underneath that resonates.\n\nAnother weird thing... I\'ve tried tons of different picks. I always come back to a specific pick not because it feels much different but because I don\'t hear it clicking when strumming. I regularly use different picks to experiment with playability and the change they have on the sound but always return to my favorites. These strings are different in how they react to the pick... for me. There\'s no click from the pick that normally distracts me.\n\nAnyway - I like them a lot.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have been looking for acoustic strings that allow for lead playing and these are fantastic. The phosphor bronze sounds full on the low end and bending the G through high E is like playing an electric guitar but requiring just enough extra bending force to get great acoustic/electric hybrid action.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "When my neighbor moved out, he gave me two of his guitars. Both had chased him all over the country and he decided to stick with one guitar instead of having three. The acoustic he gave me is a little (!) Epiphone Dreadnought, the strings of which needed replacement, oh, five years ago. On a lark, I tried out EB Earthwood Lights. Coming from an electric, Earthwood strings on an acoustic deliver a richness I've only heard from guitar and amp setups costing far more than this Epi is worth. When these strings give out, I'll swap them with a fresh set of Earthwoods."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I absolutely love these strings. I have a Martin GPC-16E, 000-18 Standard, and D-18 Standard. I\'ve tried out Martin LifeSpan 2.0\'s, D\'Addario EJ\'s, Elixir\'s, etc... Martin\'s last longer, but these strings sound the best. They have a rich, harmonic, "serious" sounding tone. They bring out the best in my guitars. They\'re also super tough. I use them when doing saddle work where you have to take the strings on and off a LOT. That\'s hard on strings. These hang in there beautifully.\n\nThe only downside is like any other basic set of Balls, they corrode kinda quick. But the reason that doesn\'t bother me is you should be changing your strings about every 2-3 weeks anyway. Even the best strings start to lose intonation, and get gross after a while.\n\nOverall, these strings are my favorite.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Don't let the low price fool you. I have been playing D'Addario and Martin stings for 28 years. While both those brands have stings I like and others I don't care for I was skeptical about the Ernie Ball Earthwood acoustic strings. Used Ernie Ball for electric but acoustic??? Well I gave these a try and have been very impressed. The tonal quality and feel of these strings have quickly become my favorite. I play live twice a week and practice almost daily. These strings easily last 3 months with heavy use. They could easily charge double what they cost and it would still be a good value for your money. For the cost, sound and feel of these strings I have switched exclusively to them for my Martin D-18 and Orangewood guitars."}]
