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 custom-light-gauge strings (11–52) deliver a bright, crisp tone with excellent clarity and balanced projection, making them suitable 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, brilliant ringing tone that quickly mellows as you play, with excellent response and tuning stability. The custom-light tension provides ideal playability and versatile projection for mid-sized to larger-bodied dreadnought guitars and players seeking a balanced compromise between comfort and full tonal volume. These strings deliver the bright, articulate character Martin is known for, with superior reliability and consistent performance enhanced by bridge protection.
