Martin MSP4050 SP Phosphor Bronze Custom Light Acoustic Guitar Strings are made from 92/8 composition to give brilliance, clarity, and longevity of sound. The phosphor bronze winding alloy is ideally suited for making strings that have deep, rich basses and clear, bright trebles.
Martin strings are high-quality strings designed for daily use. Core and wrap wires must meet strict requirements to make the grade. Martin acoustic guitar strings are wound to precise specifications.
These are the favorites of many a pro picker. Try a set for yourself.

I'm sorry, but I must disagree withnthose who claim these strings are inferior or do not stay in tune. I use them on all my guitars except the oldest one on which I use the ultra light. I have never had a problem in over 10 years with tuning slipping. Once set, on my Takamines, from the Santa Fe down to the G series, they stay tuned. I can leave a guitar for a month, which happens sometimes with the "G", and pick it up to find the strings are still perfectly in tune. ON the other end, I can play for hours in a performance and not have to retune once. The phosphor bronze is bright initially and then slowly mellows to a nice warm sound which is great on the Santa Fe which has a cedar top. All in all you simply cxan not get a better string for the money. My experience with Elixers is that they do not hold up well to strumming and fast rhythms. Every time I've used them I have had to replace at least one string during a gig. At nearly $20 a set, that's outrageous. In the last 10 years I have only broken 2 SPs and it turned out there was a sharp edge on the bridge saddle of that guitar, an Ibanez, that was cutting them! Replaced that bridge saddle and have not broken another string since! I will never use any other strings!Martin MSP4050 SP Phosphor Bronze Custom Light Acoustic Guitar Strings
.I have used these strings since they were introduced and have found them to be consistently accurate in quality and tone... even when I try out other strings... I always come back to SP's because as I said... they are "Tried... Tested and True" and the best value for your out there... Martin Acoustic SP... Phosphor Bronze Custom Lights...(MSP4050)
I have been playing for almost 60 years and professionally for nearly 50...

While I'm used to gibson strings, these are far better.I'm only a novice been playing for 54 years.Martin MSP4050 SP Phosphor Bronze Custom Light Acoustic Guitar Strings
.I have been using these for years. They start off very bright, but warm up quickly. I have never had a problem with them staying in tune. In my honest opinion, they are a good string with a very good tone after the initial break-in.

.This string for the everyone, I believe is the best bet out there. They sound exellent, last long, and are very easy on the fingers. I have yet to break one during 2 to 5 hours of non- stop playing. I have been buying this string for the past 2 years, and really stand on what I am saying. I have in the past, bought all the expensive brands, but with inflation bought this one, and have never returned to high cost ones. Buy it! You will Like It!

.When I bought my Guild DC5, I changed strings continuously until I found the strings that work and sound the best. They also have a long lifespan.

.These strings are perfect. I had an evil buzz on my low E. I just assumed it was the action on the guitar. I put on these strings and my cheapo acoustic sounds great!

.long lasting brightness. perfect gauge if you have a firm grip on the neck like i do. I've been running martin strings for several years and recently tried a set of john pearse but the brightness just wasnt there so I back to the martin custom lights.
