Ernie Ball EVERLAST PHOSPHOR MEDIUM 13-56
The Everlast Coated Phosphor Bronze strings are the culmination of over 50 years of expertise at Ernie Ball. They offer an ideal tonal balance, combining the captivating warmth of phosphor bronze with exceptional clarity. Their invisible nanotechnology treatment protects your sound from external influences without ever creating a barrier between you and your music. For rich sound projection and durability that respects the environment through less frequent string replacements, they are simply unbeatable.
Unlike traditional coatings that act like a physical sheath, potentially altering vibration, the Everlast treatment is molecularly refined. Thanks to cutting-edge nanotechnology, each string benefits from a hydrophobic treatment that actively repels moisture. This preserves the organic grain, texture, and, most importantly, the playing feel of an untreated string, while exponentially increasing its lifespan. It's the ideal investment for guitarists who want their instrument to maintain that "out-of-the-box" sound through weeks of intensive playing.

Technical characteristics
These medium gauge (.013 - .056) acoustic guitar strings are forged for power and resonance. The core of the string rests on a hexagonal, tin-plated steel core, an architecture that ensures perfect winding grip and unparalleled structural stability. The winding itself is made of a Phosphor Bronze-rich alloy (92% copper, 7.7% tin, 0.3% phosphorus), a legendary recipe renowned for producing deep, warm bass and crystal-clear treble.
The richness of Phosphor Bronze
While the 80/20 Bronze prioritizes brightness, the Phosphor Bronze chosen by Ernie Ball for this Everlast range emphasizes superior harmonic complexity. The low percentage of phosphorus in the alloy acts as a stabilizing agent, allowing the strings to age gracefully while retaining a warm, woody tone. For singer-songwriters, these acoustic guitar strings provide a sonic foundation that beautifully supports the voice without ever overpowering it.
An invisible nanotechnology
The biggest frustration guitarists have with coated strings is often the loss of feel. With Everlast, this barrier disappears. The coating is so thin it's imperceptible to the naked eye and touch. You avoid the plasticky or slippery feel of some competing products. By protecting the hexagonal core inside the winding itself, Ernie Ball ensures that corrosion never takes hold in the gaps where the sound usually dies. Durable acoustic guitar strings

Your questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about Phosphor Bronze acoustic guitar strings created by Ernie Ball.
The Everlast treatment is a molecular nanotechnology, not a plastic film. Unlike other brands that add a physical layer to the rope, Everlast impregnates the materials. You won't feel any difference in texture compared to a standard rope, but you will benefit from protection against oxidation.
The "Medium" gauge requires some finger strength and a well-adjusted guitar. It is particularly recommended for guitarists with a strong rhythmic style or those who tune their guitar a half step down. For lighter playability, it would be better to opt for the "Light" gauge.
Phosphor Bronze alloy is naturally slightly more corrosion-resistant than 80/20 type acoustic guitar strings. Combined with Everlast treatment, this set of strings becomes one of the most durable on the acoustic guitar string market, maintaining its tonal integrity for several months (up to 4 months).
