Martin 80/20 Bronze Extra Light Acoustic Guitar Strings:
Martin M170 six-string acoustic guitar strings are made with tried and trusted 80/20 Bronze alloy wrap wire, on the wound strings. 80/20 Bronze alloy is 80% copper and 20% zinc. This combination yields a very brilliant (bright) tone when new, that softens and mellows with a little age and playing. Martin strings produce that classic American acoustic guitar sound that emerged in the late 1960's, and became the standard and preferred tone for the following decades. Martin acoustic guitar strings have withstood the test of time, and continue to be a favorite in all genres. Try an M170 set on your guitar, if you are looking for an extra light set of strings which are easy to play, yet still come through with tone. They are also an excellent choice for players with smaller hands.
