Ease on your fingers
If you’re new, or it’s been awhile since you’ve played, these are the way to go. Easy on your fingers, with a nice folk sound. Helped me get started again, and I couldn’t be happier

Good strings
My wife has a 1974 Guild D28 and has never used any other strings on it. They stay in tune. But they’ve begun to sound a little tinny over the past few years. That’s why they get 4 stars.

Martin Marquis 80/20 Bronze Medium gauge strings (MA150S). I recently switched from light gauge strings to medium gauge strings. what a difference. wish I would have switched years ago. I am playing a smaller bodied rosewood guitar (OM-28). Better sound projection. Deep full woody sound that I love. Bridge pins fit better. Will increase the neck relief ever so slightly so you may have to adjust the truss rod. I recommend you try medium gauge strings at least once to see for yourself.

Best strings for an acoustic guitar that there are!
For years I have used these Silk And Steel guitar strings. They sound fantastic on any acoustic guitar. They have a cleanness and brightness to their sound that others acoustic strings simply lack. I also use an amplified acoustic, and these strings never let me down. Even on recordings, they are second to none. Whether you play a $10,000 Martin or a $100.00 Indiana guitar, these strings sound amazing! And I am a recording artist!

Perfect tone, easy playing, and smooth.
I got two sets of these to replace the factory strings on two new guitars (a black Vangoa acoustic electric, and a Hesper dreadnought), and they're perfect. They did leave some oxidation residue on my fingers after stretching them out, but they're clean, bright, snappy, and easy on the fingers. There's also very little string squeak on these. I like the silk-wrapped ball ends for preventing wear on my new bridge holes, and they're staying in tune very well. These are a great value, and the quality is outstanding.
