    • Rich New Voice On My Acoustic Guitar
Style: Standard Size: Medium Gauge
I had been playing a Recording King Dirty 37 Series with the stock D'Adarrio strings on it for over 1.5 years. It is a very warm sounding parlor sized guitar, inexpensive but well made, easy playing and pleasing tone. Eventually the high E broke and it was time for new strings. I am not a fan of D'Adarrio, so I decided to give the Martin Eric Clapton strings a try. I was honestly surprised at the tonal difference/improvement. A musician relative of mine had done several informal acoustic jams with me but when he first heard it with the Martin EC's he assumed it was a new guitar and I received many compliments on its rich new voice. I truly seems that different guitars may have certain strings that just fit better. When the time comes I will try a set on my Epiphone Masterbilt Deluxe archtop. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Strings that sing on the Martin
Style: Standard Size: Medium Gauge
Review Image by Kent L Kent L
I have no objections to these strings. They have been on my guitar for almost three weeks and the sound seems to me to be the same as the original strings. They voice clear and mellow with a twang and with bold sustain that is rich and bright. I like them. The strings need little retuning at each play. Maybe that is also due to the tuning keys on the guitar. ... show more
