MARTINC.F Martin Guitar Authentic Acoustic Flexible Core MA550FX, 92/8 Phosphor Bronze, Medium Strings

Bright sound

These a quality strings and play well.

Strings are very easy to replace, and produce a quality sound which can take a cheap guitar and make it sound a lot better. Amazing for the price

I bought these on a whim whilst auditioning some different strings. Spent out on some Thomastik Infeld Spectrums, a range of DRs, the new D’Addario coated doodahs and some others. I’m not a big user of signature products as they’re usually just a rebadged cash cow version of stock strings, but Tommy E is a picker I respect and I appreciate that he gets great tone from a simple setup. I use AER amps also, and figured that adding strings to my rig that jive so well with TE’s setup had to be worth a try.I put them on my Gibson Advanced Jumbo Flame Deluxe (a maple slope shoulder dreadnought) and was instantly impressed. Sweet, ringing brightness and quick response, good balance and silky overtones that are present but never overbearing.That was last September. I played a couple of gigs with the guitar in between Covid shutdowns, and then spent a couple of months in hospital in October and November. I picked the guitar up when I got home from hospital and to my delight the strings were still sounding great. Eventually changed them in April this year!Feel wise, these are marginally more flexible than standard Martins, but don’t expect them to be noodles…they still have some fight and bite, but are a little more pliable.I love ‘em…will put them on more of my guitars from now on.

I've used Martin guitar strings on archtop guitars, so I thought I'd try them on a small body acoustic guitar,They are surprisingly affordable given the "Martin" name on the package. Normally I use strings costing at least twice as much.I used these and the bright tone gave the the sound a real lift. Great value for money.

Much long life like others I used before.

I bought this set for my fender semi acoustic... started tuning, tobe and brightness were great... got to the G string... TWANG!, Had to buy another set... manufacturing fault??? But the 2 sets meant it wasn't quite the bargain or quick fix I intended... but to repeat, for a budget string, they have a nice tone and enough 'give' for non hardened fingers... 8/10 Thank you.

Great guitar strings
