These are the strings Eric Claption plays. After all these years, he still insists on Martins for his signature sound. Pure and rich tones begin with the right strings. The player's input to the string is where it begins. The string adds its own specific character and energy to the vibration. The guitars bridge and soundboard convey and amplify it, to unlock the remarkable tones and harmonics from deep within every good acoustic guitar. These are the right strings for a full bodied dreadnaught, because they translate the player's feelings and energy into acoustic volume and power, filling the space around him with the musical expression of his deepest feelings. If they're Clapton's choice, then that says a lot. Why not try a set and see what they can do on your guitar?
