## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best
*by S***  on 13 August 2024*

I’ve used Martin strings for years. Great time from them, easy to install. Good quality material. They look and sound brilliant. I’ve tried other more expensive brands but keep coming back to these ones. Stay in tune and feel good on fingers. They don’t seem to break as quickly as other strings.Fits acoustic guitar not to heavy gauge. Useful when performing unplugged

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality strings.
*by �***� on 24 June 2025*

Good quality strings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Slinky Enough For a Bending Playing Style (but OK for pure acoustic rhythm guitarist)
*by D***N on 9 February 2023*

I thought I'd try these on my electro acoustic guitar based on the brand and relatively low price. My previous strings were D'Addario EXL110BT 10-46 's Nickel wound (admittedly Electric Strings - not acoustic). The Martins sound good to be fair, but not as forgiving on the fingers and they are awkward - not slinky in any way, despite the gauge. Quite a lot of fret slide squeak. They also hate being bent. Pressing chords is a lot harder than with D'Addarios. I gave longevity 4 stars but I don't think I'll keep them on my electro acoustic that long really. I might add that I'm a blues rock player and so play a lot of bends in my style. Perhaps if your'e just playing chords with strong fingers and are a purist for pure acoustic tone then these may suit you.
