Ernie Ball Earthwood 2069 Nylon Folk Ballend String Set
Warm nylon tone with the convenience of ball ends.
The Ernie Ball Earthwood 2069 Nylon Folk Ball End strings are a brilliant solution for players who love the mellow warmth of nylon but don’t want the hassle of traditional tie-on classical strings. Designed for folk, crossover and hybrid acoustic guitars, they bring a smooth, rounded tone that suits fingerstyle playing, gentle strumming and expressive melodic work.
These strings combine clear nylon trebles with silver-plated copper wound basses for a balanced, musical response across the set. The result is a comfortable feel under the fingers, a softer attack than steel strings, and a warm, woody character that works beautifully for folk, classical-influenced pieces and acoustic arrangements. Thanks to the ball ends, they install quickly and securely on standard acoustic bridges — ideal if you’re switching from steel strings or maintaining a crossover instrument.
If you’re after a more forgiving feel, reduced finger noise and a tone that leans towards the traditional without sacrificing practicality, the Earthwood 2069 set is a tried-and-trusted choice. They’re especially popular with players exploring nylon tone on non-classical guitars, and they’re a staple recommendation here at Musicmaker for anyone looking to soften their sound without changing instruments.
