Ernie Ball Tim Henson Signature Classical Strings - Medium Tension
Fluorocarbon Treble Strings - Silver-Plated Copper Basses - Dynamic, Percussive Sound
The Ernie Ball Tim Henson Signature Classical Strings are a collaborative effort designed to meet the specific requirements of Tim Henson's unique playing style. These strings combine fluorocarbon treble strings with silver-plated copper bass strings, resulting in a set that offers a dynamic response and a percussive tonality. The fluorocarbon trebles provide clarity and consistent intonation, while the silver-plated copper basses deliver warmth and enhanced projection. The string gauges are precisely selected to ensure balanced tension and a comfortable playing experience, making these strings suitable for players seeking a modern classical string set with improved dynamic range.

The Ernie Ball Tim Henson Signature Classical Strings represent a collaboration between Ernie Ball and guitarist Tim Henson, focusing on producing a set of strings tailored to his specific playing style and tonal preferences. Henson's approach involves blending various musical genres and techniques, resulting in a distinctive sound. To achieve this, the strings utilise a combination of fluorocarbon treble strings and silver-plated copper bass strings.
Fluorocarbon treble strings are known for their clarity, brightness, and consistent intonation. They offer a distinct tonal character compared to traditional nylon trebles, providing a more focused and articulate sound. The silver-plated copper bass strings contribute to a warm, resonant tone with enhanced projection. The silver plating improves conductivity and corrosion resistance, extending the lifespan of the strings.
The combination of these materials aims to deliver a more dynamic response and percussive tonality. This means the strings are designed to react sensitively to variations in playing dynamics, allowing for a wider range of expressive possibilities. The percussive tonality refers to the ability of the strings to produce a clear, defined attack, which is particularly useful for percussive playing techniques.
The specific gauges of the strings are: 1st - 24, 2nd - 27, 3rd - 33, 4th - 30, 5th - 36, 6th - 42. These gauges are selected to provide a balanced tension across the set, contributing to a comfortable playing experience and consistent tonal output. The resulting combination of materials and gauges is designed to meet the demands of musicians seeking a modern classical string set with enhanced dynamic range and percussive characteristics.
