Martin Authentic MA150 Medium Acoustic Strings 3 Pack

Overview

Standing up to long practice and performance schedules is the job of these Martin Authentic Superior Performance strings. The core wire is a high tensile-strength type, tin-plated on all six strings for corrosion resistance, and a wrap wire is added for a consistent tone.

Choose these for the tin-plated core and the coating on the wound steel, which target corrosion on strings that get heavy use. Medium gauge generally means a heavier feel under the fingers, though the individual gauges are not spelled out in the listing.

Who it's for

Regular players who go through strings often and like to have a spare set on hand. Electric guitarists, and anyone after a light or extra-light feel, should look at a different set.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Corrosion resistance comes from the plated core wire and the coating on the wound strings. Medium gauge raises string tension, which helps volume for strumming but asks more of the fretting hand. Tone consistency depends on the wrap wire described in the listing.
