A set of strings designed to preserve your acoustic without sacrificing sound
Martin understands what maintaining a high-end guitar entails: a good set of strings must not only sound right but also respect the instrument. The Martin MA170S Authentic Silked feature a silk winding at the ball end of each string to reduce abrasion and provide an extra layer of protection where mechanical stress is greatest. The result: a worry-free installation and a softer contact with the bridge, especially appreciated on guitars you want to keep pristine.
With their Extra Light gauge, these strings suit players seeking easy response, better playability, and reduced left-hand fatigue. The 80/20 bronze alloy delivers a bright tonal signature, with clear high-end definition and precise attack, ideal for highlighting arpeggios, open chords, and playing nuances. A safe choice for those wanting a smooth feel and clear sound, while adding a touch of protection to their acoustic guitar.
