After nearly 47 years of playing, I have found Martin to be consitently sweet to the ear and long lasting. I find fewer breaks, better sound and less finger strain with Martin medium guage phosphor bronze strings. It seems to take less finger pressure to fret these mediums than with the light guage. As for those who have mentioned that their fingers hurt, practice using less downward pressure when you fret. Less pressure produces less pain, faster finger movement and less hand fatigue. Get a setup on your guitar if it is hard to fret. Ninety-nine percent of the time it is not the string but bad fingering practices or an out of adjustment instrument that causes pain and playing problems. As for Martin MSP 4200 Phosphor Bronze Mediums, I have never found a bad sting in the package. They have always been sweet to my ear and longer lasting than the many other brands that I have used over the past four and a half decades of guitar pickin'. As gitar manufacturers will tell you, a poor quality string on a good guitar produces expensive noise. Get a set of Martin MSP 4200 PBMs and listen to your guitar sing.

A friend of mine introduced these to me and I have not had another string that sounds good and is dependable as these SP's. Those who have heard my guitar (a higher end Guild accoustical 6) thought I was playing an expensive Taylor or Martin. I get great high and lows and when playing in a solo, a great fill. I am definitely a SP fan !

Comments about Martin MSP4200 Phosphor Bronze Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings:
I have been purchasing Martin MSP 4200 Acoustic Guitar Strings for 15 years now. I have found these strings to be very resilient, and long lasting (which is what they are designed for). My playing style is very agressive, therefore, I must use strings that are high quality and resist breakage. Honestly, I have tried other brands (of all price ranges and quality standards) and find that most are a waste of money, for my particular needs. The longevity charactoristics of the Martin SP line of strings allows for agressive playing, and prolonged string life. Not only do these strings resist breakage, but their superior alloy composition assures their ability to hold their tone longer than any other brand I've used over the years. I hope that this comment does not sound like a "commercial for Martin SP Strings". I am a real musician, have used these strings for many years now, and do not buy any other brand for my guitars. To keep the cost low (these are high-end strings), I purchase these strings by the case (packages of 12 sets) which allows a savings of 40% as compared to retail prices. On average, I purchase at least one case per month, for my own needs. For the musician that plays with an agressive style, or is simply looking for extended life and performance from a set of strings, this product is the best value I have found. -Marshall

Comments about Martin MSP4200 Phosphor Bronze Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings:
These are the only acoustic guitar strings that I use now. I absolutely love them!
The only downside is that the high E string breaks kind of easily, but that's probably just me!
These have a beautiful, natural-sounding tone to them and are very easy to play. I use them on my 1978 Yamaha and they make the guitar sound brand new.
I use these for anything from backup and practicing to recording and playing live. You can't go wrong with these!

Comments about Martin MSP4200 Phosphor Bronze Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings:
Durable, long lasting strings. Good quality and tone for my D-28 Martin.
Comments about Martin MSP4200 Phosphor Bronze Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings:
Great value overall
I've only used one set so far but already I like the quality of the sound and their durability. I don't have a budget to change strings every week so I need them to maintain their brightness and not break after repeated use. So far these have met both expectations. As a result I just purchased 2 more sets. They seem to do as well as, or better, than some more expensive coated strings I tried the past year. I didn't give these the hightest rating because I've not used them that long but my experience is positive..
Comments about Martin MSP4200 Phosphor Bronze Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings:
For a medium gauge set I expected more volume, and tone. I use martin silk and steel on my other guitar and they actually have better tone, plus they are easy on the fingers.
Comments about Martin MSP4200 Phosphor Bronze Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings:
These are overall really good strings. The only problem I had was that they were on backorder and then I broke one the first day I got them because of something I did, not product default.
Comments about Martin MSP4200 Phosphor Bronze Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings:
Strings are well made .Sound great. A bit heavy being medium and phosphor bronze on your fingers but all I can say is that is where you get the great volume and sustain.The more you play this gauge string the easier it gets with time.
I don't know whether I should give all the credit to the strings or part of it to my Martin custom classic mahogany acoustic guitar. Together they ring and sing. The name says it all, and all that I can honestly say is to at least to give them a try. For the price and quality you can't go wrong.
yes definitely.
Are you kidding me. It's like a two for one bargain.

I've tried out a few different brands, but I've finally found the perfect strings. I love how bright, warm, and powerful they are! I plan on using these from now on! The strings are the perfect thickness to balance playability and sound.
