Martin SP Authentic PB lights

Really like the feel of these strings. Stiffer and a tad stronger than D'Addario EJ16s. Bolder than John Pearce Pb lights. I think the .54 E string and the .25 G really make a volume and projection difference for the better vs traditional light gauge strings. I just cannot hang with true medium gauge for long, but lights are too light. So the Martin light gauge fits it nicely, if you are in that same camp. These work great on my Guild D35, which is basically a D-18. Not sure how they sound on rosewood back/sides dreads. I bet these would give maple sone much needed warmth.

But for my basic spruce top, hog b/a dread, these Martin authentic pbs are it.

Strings for acoustic guitars have come along way in the last 30 years or more.i was an elixir ,d addario,user for ever.
Then i tried a set of martins on a cheap 6 string.
ive replaced the strings on ALL MY GUITARS 12 strings included. im sure string preference ,is as diverse as there are guitarists.What appeals to your ear ??
These martins ( everyone ive tried)have improved the sounds im looking for out of each of my guitars. The string sets for 12 string guitars ,are a particularly ,nice improvement to my 12 string guitars,regardless of the manufacture.I recently acquired a D angelico,premier fulton ,not too expensive ,and not a cheappy 12 string. It sounded good ,i didnt expect a5000.00 $ sound out of it.
But when i installed a set of martin silk/ steel,lights ,omg big ,big difference.

Great!

Put a set on last night played 2 hours of rehearsals and two services this morning. I really like these strings. Very bright and easy to play.

A new favorite

I think I have a new favorite string. And my old one has been Martin SP series. I just put these on, so I can't review the life of the string, or the life of the effect I'm about to say.

There's something about this formulation that I like with the PB tone. I've always been a PB-type string lover for the mello overtones they bring. But this formulation features the top-end of the note envelope rather than blend it in with the rest of the sound, if that makes any sense.

We'll see how long this feature lasts, but so far, I'm inclined to buy these in bulk, 'cause they are very pleasing to my ear. This feature makes each string stand out rather than blend in to all the other notes of a chord.

4.5 stars because I don't know about the life of the string.
