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 medium-gauge strings (13–56) deliver a bright, crisp, punchy tone with strong projection and excellent clarity, making them ideal for fingerstyle, strumming, bluegrass, and all 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, articulate ringing tone with tight, punchy low end and crisp highs, offering more sparkle and immediate attack than phosphor bronze. The medium tension provides maximum volume and full-bodied tone with powerful projection ideal for larger-bodied dreadnought guitars and players seeking commanding resonance and aggressive 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.
