best Martin strings

| Review By: guitar pickin bootman | 1 month, 3 weeks ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

I have tried almost all strings and have come to the conslusion that Martin M140 or M540s are the best buy and best sounding of the Martin strings.  If you have several guitars and change the strings often you will search for the longest lasting best sounding and most for the buck...These are it! buy a bunch of them...

Martin 140 Light Acoustic Guitar Strings

| Review By: scott Foster | 2 months, 6 hours ago

Features:

Whenever I purchase an acoustic guitar, I always purchase the Martin 140 light strings, I think they are easy on the fingers and produce a nice crisp clear sound. and it doesn't take alot of stretching to keep them in tune.

These are great strings.  I play about 50 times a year and restring after every gig.  Elixer type strings are cute, but a waste of money for me.  I sweat, spill, and beat my strings.  I also use these in the studio.  See jasonswensen.com for audio samples.  All the acoustic guitars feature these strings via a Martin guitars, sm81, Neve 1073 or Api 512.  The ones with the silk wrap are nice too, but I only buy them on sale.  Have no fear.  These are great for the money.  If they don't sound nice on your guitar, get a new guitar.  Martins, Gibsons, some Taylors.....

You Get What You Pay For

I read the good reviews, loved the price and ordered a few sets. But when on my Takamine they thinned out the sound like no other strings I have tried. It was so bad I lost any inspiration to even pick up my guitar. No depth from the 4th, 5th and 6th strings. No sustain. They made my guitar sound terrible. I got over the feeling of wasting a new set and replaced them later the same day. Testing the theory "you get what you pay for" I put on Martin Lifespan SP .013's. MSP7200. The difference is night and day. Tone. Resonance. Fullness. Volume. That's what I wanted. Bottom line: You can buy inexpensive/cheap strings and your guitar will sound that way. Or you can put some money into quality strings and enjoy your guitar at it's best. That's my experience anyway.
