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—essential protection for vintage and fine guitars. These light-gauge strings (12–54) deliver a bright, crisp, punchy tone with clean low-end projection and clarity, making them ideal for fingerstyle, strumming, bluegrass, and a wide variety of playing styles.
Built with Martin's highest tensile-strength core wire that is tin-plated on all six strings for added corrosion resistance, these strings maintain consistent true tone through demanding practice and performance schedules. The 80/20 bronze wrap produces a bright, brilliant ringing tone that quickly mellows as you play, with excellent response and tuning stability. The light tension provides full volume and powerful projection ideal for larger-bodied dreadnought guitars and players seeking maximum resonance and commanding tone. These classic Martin strings deliver the bright, articulate character players have relied on for decades, with superior reliability and consistent performance enhanced by bridge protection.
