## Description

Martin Authentic Acoustic strings provide unrivaled quality, craftsmanship, and tone for your acoustic guitar. Designed to produce true, consistent tone, these light-gauge strings provide excellent tuning stability and playability so your guitar can stand up to rigorous practice and performance schedules. Made from 92/8 phosphor bronze, these strings feature Martin's highest-quality wrap wire for enhanced longevity and durability. They are naturally corrosion resistant so they can hold up after hours and hours of playing. This pack of professional-grade guitar strings will last through long jam sessions, late-night campfire songs, and plenty of picking. To make these strings extra-durable and stable, we start with our highest-tensile-strength core wire and then tin-plate it on all 6 strings for added corrosion resistance. When coupled with our highest-quality wrap wire, you get a consistent tone that you can count on song after song. Designed to bring out your guitar's true tone, these 92/8 phosphor bronze guitar strings can be used for fingerstyle blues, Americana, country, bluegrass, ragtime, and many more styles. With this pack, you'll receive 6 light-gauge guitar strings. The low E string measures 0.054", the A string measures 0.042", the D string measures 0.032", the G string measures 0.025", the B string measures 0.016", and the high E string measures 0.012". This pack of light-gauge strings features a tension of 168.5, and they make it easy to get a rich, bright tone out of your guitar. Martin Guitar has been producing high-quality, musician-choice guitars and guitar accessories since 1833. The Martin Authentic Acoustic strings are the real deal—not an imitation. Discover your guitar's true voice with this professional-grade guitar string pack.

Review: Great Elixir replacement - These are my new favorite strings. I had been using elixirs for a number of years until they priced themselves out of my business. These strings are brighter than the elixirs and for recording they articulate very well and when strumming they don't sound muddy. The have a smooth finish, not like a flat wound but a tighter winding that is easy on the fingers.
Review: Great strings - Great strings. long life and beautiful rich sound balanced from low to mid to high ranges.
