I play the guitar professionally. I've played the guitar for over 40 years. During those
years I've tried every brand, type and gauge string I can get my hands on.
I STILL experiment with all kinds of string brands. But I keep coming back to
Martin SP (Studio Performance) Phosphor Bronze strings. Whether I'm recording, teaching
or playing live, I consistantly like the sound, feel and playability of these SP strings.
I wouldn't sell them if I didn't like them so much and use them myself!
The plain strings, as well as the core wires of the wound strings,
are plated with bronze. This gives the strings a gorgeous, gold color
AND makes the strings a little more resistant to tarnish and discolor.
They last longer and sound warmer than non-plated strings.
