Description: Martin Authentic Acoustic Marquis Silked strings feature a soft silk wrap on the ball ends of each string, protecting your guitar's bridge and bridge plate from wear and tear during string changes. The added thickness ensures that bridge pins stay locked securely in place, even in older bridges with worn holes—a critical consideration for vintage and fine guitars requiring extra care. The silk wrapping is gentle on fingers and frets while delivering a rich, deep, warm mellow tone that is softer and easier to play than standard steel-wound strings.

These custom-gauged strings (11.5–47) are specifically engineered for silk & steel folk applications, offering low tension that is comfortable for fingerstyle and classical players while maintaining excellent projection and tonal clarity. The corrosion-resistant construction ensures consistent tuning stability through extended practice and performance, making these strings ideal for musicians who prioritize playability, tone warmth, and guitar protection in a single set. Available in 80/20 bronze and 92/8 phosphor bronze options.
