Excellent sound and longevity.
Martin MSP4100 Phosphor Bronze Light Acoustic Strings are ideal live, in the studio, or wherever maximum string life is desired. The creation of these new high performance strings is a result of research done in cooperation with specialty steel producers. Due to the development of an industry leading ultra-high quality steel core, Martin SP strings resist breakage better than average strings. In addition, both the core wires and the plain strings are plated with a smooth, acoustic bronze finish. Though this golden bronze finish does enhance the beauty of your guitar, its purpose is much more functional - to prolong brightness, string life, and superior tonal quality to meet the high expectations of demanding musicians.

Elixirs do not hold a candle to these strings. I played elixirs for a while like 2 years and paid way too much. These strings are cheaper by over 50% and are a MUCH better value. They hold their tone way better if you use a string lube (GHS Fast Fret!!!). I have heard that they are the strongest strings made in the whole guitar industry. I have NEVER broken one and when i was using elixirs, i would break a G every two weeks or three most. The Martins have never broken even with the custom lights and extra lights. I have detuned and re tuned over tuned and they always sound great, dont break and play better. They are better for beginners too because they are cheaper and will toughen up your fingers faster. Peace

i just bought a epiphone dr-100 from musiciansfriend and it like 99 new so i figured the strings wouldnt be very good. but i was wrong, they sound much better than these and as soon as i got my guitar i opened it up, tuned it, played it for about an hour than put these strings on, they sounded worse from the start, i figured i would give them some time but by the end of the day of maybe it was the next day the basses already lost all tone and sounded like the basses on my nylon, heck not even that good. the trebles were not very bright either. i put the original strings back on and im not buying martin steel strings again, they make decent nylon strings but thats it.

Comments about Martin MSP4100 Phosphor Bronze Light Acoustic Strings:
These have become my favorite acoustic strings. I use these nearly exclusively. Very satisified with the tone and durability. Not overpriced either. I always keep a spare set in my case, though I've never broken a string with these yet. Give them a try if you're looking for a new set of strings for your acoustic.

Comments about Martin MSP4100 Phosphor Bronze Light Acoustic Strings:
Great product but they are packaged 2 strings per paper envelope whereas every other string I have used has an individual envelope for each string. It's difficult to take one string out and not the other, and almost impossible to get the other string back in the envelope if you are saving it for later use. If cost is such an issue, raise the price 2 cents and wrap each string individually. C'mon, really?

I use Martin Strings on My Taylor DN4 that I play everyday. I find the tone to be pleasing to my ear, and they are affordable.

Comments about Martin MSP4100 Phosphor Bronze Light Acoustic Strings:
These phosphor bronze beauties are my acoustic light gauge string of choice. Bright, responsive, and fairly long lasting, these strings won't go dead on you in 5 hours of playing. Solid standard strings for your steel string acoustic dreadnought, cutaway, or whatever. Affordable and high quality strings. Sound better than EXP's or Elixir coated strings but won't last as long.

Comments about Martin MSP4100 Phosphor Bronze Light Acoustic Strings:
I've made a living playing and singing most of my life. I tried just about every string made until these first came out. When I started playing the MSP4100 strings, I pretty much quit playing (or even trying) any other strings. They're bright, they have a lot of "presence" and, with my dry hands, they last longer than most. The only "negative" comment I've ever heard about them was from a guy who said he didn't like them because "You hear EVERYTHING and I'm not that good." Well, I don't think that's the string's problem. Why don't you just practice more? Isn't that the whole idea? Anyway, I highly recommend these strings - especially when you can always find them for under $6.00 a set.
