Martin MA130 Authentic Acoustic - SP - Silk & Steel Custom ( 11½-47 ) 41Y18MA130

Wonderful acoustic guitar strings, I have been playing guitar for fifty five years and these strings are the best ever. Buy these I’m sure you will not be disappointed. The tone is fantastic, bright and feel great!

My favourite acoustic strings. Sound really nice and smooth to play.

Great strings, hold their tuning very well. Not recommended for frequent de/retuning as these are very soft and prefer standard tuning. Gorgeous sounds for fingerpicking, very clear and warm - would recommend for harder woods to expose the full range of tones from these strings. Great if you switch and dabble between nylon classical and steel as these are quite malleable and won't dig into your fingers as much.

I bought these in march (it's now late October and the high e has just broke) and they've been great. They have a beautiful, clear, warm sound. They're very durable, I play a mix of fingerstyle and regular, and a lot of the songs I play are very rough on strings, but they survived through everything until now! They're really great on my fingertips too, a lot less painful after playing for hours straight. They hold their tuning really well too and have been fine being tuned up and down too! I'm really impressed and will definitely be getting again :)

Iv used these for years on all my guitars, due to the silk core they are very easy to fret, so if you have delicate vintage instruments, you may want to try these out of if you dont play guitar every day so you dont build up the calouses on your fingertips and you want the string to feel easy under your finger tips these may just be the strings for you however obviously they are not as loud as regular guitar strings, in my opinion they work well on 12 string guitar, i have 12 fret to body 12 string which is quite difficult to play with regular12s on it so i swapped to silk and steel and found it so much easier to play it was like night and day

soft and mellow

Always a personal thing, but these were recommended and I find them odd to use. For want of a better word, they are sticky. Your fingers don't glide over them, they seem to catch when picking. Surprised a Martin string doing that, but they will come off soon. They are oddly bright white on the guitar, too. Not for me.

Some of the best stings i have used. Only problem is that, as with all silk and steel strings, they die quicker than usual steel.

They sound so nice, put on my travel acoustic-electric. they dont put much strain on its weak neck and i prefer the sound to standard string

Mis favoritas. Muy duraderas y de calidad.

自分の指先にあった固さで、とても弾きやすいですね。

Good

These strings are similar to the monel strings Toney Rice used. Nickel strings. They are just sulked. Really are warm! No bright overtones. You can hear the actual voice of the guitar. The 11.5 - 47 tension, are so easy to play. Far more easy on left hand. Especially with a low action. Try them out! You won’t be sorry. Try them with a Dawg style pick. Phenomenal tone!
