Long-lasting set designed for modern acoustics
The Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 represents the new generation of long-lasting strings from Martin. Based on patented technology developed after two years of research, they aim for a clear goal: to offer the longevity of treated strings while preserving an authentic, rich, and natural sound. The result: your strings retain their "new" appearance longer and provide consistent response, repetition after repetition.
92/8 Phosphor Bronze: warmth, balance, and projection for 12-string guitars
With their 92/8 Phosphor Bronze alloy, these strings are particularly appreciated for their balance between brightness and warmth. On a 12-string acoustic guitar, they help maintain definition in the highs while keeping a rounded and musical low-midrange. The Extra Light gauge adds flexibility and reduces overall tension, a real plus for playing comfort and ease of execution.
