Gearank Recommended

The M260 string set first appeared on our recommended list for Ball-End Classical Guitar Strings from July 2019 until August 2020 when they had been out-ranked by the Ernie Ball 2069's.

They had high enough ratings to go back on the list in July 2021 where they remain.

Overview

The M260 80/20 ball-end strings offer a rich tone from the crystal nylon trebles and deep and warm tones from the 80/20 bronze bass strings.

If you're a beginner and still learning how to securely tie your strings or if you're a veteran that just wants the convenience of a ball-end when restringing, the Martin M260 80/20 string set is a good budget option.
