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 dark, warm, well-rounded woody tone with excellent balance and sustain, making them ideal for all playing styles from fingerstyle to bluegrass and strumming.
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 92/8 phosphor bronze wrap produces a dark, slightly warmer tone than 80/20 bronze with excellent response and tuning stability. The medium tension provides maximum volume and powerful projection ideal for larger-bodied dreadnought guitars and players seeking full resonance and commanding tone. Known for delivering a woody, balanced sound with value pricing, these strings offer superior reliability and consistent performance with enhanced bridge protection in a single set.
