Customer Reviews

Excellent strings
I've been playing guitar professionally for over 30 years and have tried literally every brand of string I'm aware of...even some odballs that I didn't know existed until I saw them on the rack. For many years, I stuck with D-Addario Phosphor Bronze because they've been consistent with good tone and longevity. But in the Martin SP Phospher Bronze lights, I've found an even better quality string. I'm in an Irish/Celtic duo, and play a Martin OM16 in DADGAD tuning, and a 1970 Guild F30 Paul Simon in standard tuning. In both guitars, the Martin strings provide a deeper, louder tone with great sustain than any other string I've used. I recently tried a set of Elixer Nonoweb Phosphor Bronze ($16!!!!....yikes), and they didn't sound nearly as good as the Martin SPs....at less than half the price. So I immediately replaced the Elixers with SPs.

Yes, strings are a very personal item and we all have different likes and dislikes with regard to what tonal qulaities we like in our acoustic guitars. For me, I like a relatively bright, deep, sustaining tone with good volume and longevity that best brings out the chracter of my guitars, and the Martin SPs deliver big time. It's amazing how long they last after doing sessions, gigs, rehearsals, etc. The SPs last longer than any string I've used and I highly recommend them.

Professional Acoustic Guitarist, I ONLY use these...
Prior to using these I would break strings constantly. After a very long period of trying every string out there it was an easy choice. They are the only strings I use now, and occasional efforts to find something better have failed. Super reliable, tough, and they sound fantastic on my Rainsong Jumbo. I haven't done a lot of reviews, but I truly think these are the best acoustic strings you can buy.

Great string
When I traded in my Alvarez and bought a new Martin, I stuck with my old standby string - John Pearse phosphor bronze light. And they played beautifully. When the local shop stopped carrying John Pearse, I picked up a set of D'Addario which I hadn't tried in years. And they were complete garbage - terrible sound on my Martin. Last time around I picked up some Martin SPs which again I hadn't tried in years - they sounded flat on the Alvarez. But they absolutely sing on a Martin. I didn't think anything would sound better than my old standby John Pearses. But these do. Martin SPs on a Martin - go figure, they work!
