After 2 decades of playing, I finally found the PERFECT strings. 🤘
LOVE THE WAY THESE SOUND! Been playing for 2 decades and these are BY FAR the absolute best strings I have ever used. They wind really smoothly and are easy to string. The sound is just absolutely exactly what I’ve been searching for all these years of simply using basic Earnie Balls. They have a great feel to them. It felt like an immediate upgrade on my guitar. I also love the color- it’s more unique than what I’ve been using. I honestly bought these because I’m an Eric Clapton fan, but will continue to buy them because they are most definitely my new favorite. They just feel and function differently- better. It’s almost an indescribable quality. I was very disappointed when I went to buy another pack and couldn’t find them though. I hope Amazon will keep these in stock and readily available.

Rich New Voice On My Acoustic Guitar
I had been playing a Recording King Dirty 37 Series with the stock D'Adarrio strings on it for over 1.5 years. It is a very warm sounding parlor sized guitar, inexpensive but well made, easy playing and pleasing tone. Eventually the high E broke and it was time for new strings. I am not a fan of D'Adarrio, so I decided to give the Martin Eric Clapton strings a try. I was honestly surprised at the tonal difference/improvement. A musician relative of mine had done several informal acoustic jams with me but when he first heard it with the Martin EC's he assumed it was a new guitar and I received many compliments on its rich new voice. I truly seems that different guitars may have certain strings that just fit better. When the time comes I will try a set on my Epiphone Masterbilt Deluxe archtop. Highly recommended.

good enough for Eric Clapton
they are guitar strings. easier on the fingers but not quite the volume of the larger gauge. i also had the saddle shaved on my martin acoustic so that helps too. for me they are easy to keep in tune. pretty sure i will stick with them.

my go to strings for almost 10 years now
yes these strings are a little stiffer. but the tone is just right. i play semi professional as a bluegrass artist and just love these. im a lead guitarist and the tone has a nice strong punch with well rounded mids. my brother plays martin 80/20's on rythem and the seperation is superb.

Diese Saiten sind the best, stimmstabil, robust, ausgewogenes Klangbild, ich spreche von einer Martin.

Montate su Seagull S6 (top abete). Molto simili alle D’Addario EJ16, ma leggermente più calde e meno metalliche, specialmente sui cantini. Ottimo feeling e resa soprattutto in fingerstyle su arpeggi e soli, tanti armonici goduriosi che sembra quasi un organo, mentre sullo strumming perdono un po’ di volume e ritmica rispetto alle EJ. Tenuta accordatura ottima, rodaggio breve (24/48 ore), nessun aggiustamento di setup necessario. È sempre soggettivo con le corde, fra preferenze personali e diverse chitarre, comunque sulla mia S6 e per come mi piace suonare mi sto trovando molto bene. Restano molto simili alle EJ16, ma con qualche gradevole differenza. Penso le alternerò e le riacquisterò. Consiglio di provarle almeno una volta!
