  • Ernie Ball for the win
Style: Rock & Blues (10-52) Size: Single Pack
I have used so many styles of Ernie ball over the years. These worked great for a cheap acoustic. Sound is better. I always got lots of life from EBs in the past and I assume these will last a long time as well. Great tone and mellow sound. Very happy will buy again when time for a new set
