Announcing Martin Authentic Acoustic strings

Andy HaldaneMartin Guitar

C.F. Martin & Co. is pleased to introduce our most advanced strings to date!

We have taken our market leading strings and made them better in every way. They look better, they feel better, and they sound better. Period. And with three versions to choose from, any player can find the ideal strings for their acoustic guitar. This exciting new range replaces the popular Acoustic, SP, Marquis and Lifespan ranges

AUTHENTIC ACOUSTIC – Superior Performance

These strings are engineered with the performer in mind and they will always stand up to rigorous practice and performance schedules. We start with our highest tensile-strength core wire, then tin-plate it on all six strings for added corrosion resistance; because what you don’t see matters! When coupled with our highest quality wrap wire you get consistent true tone that you can count on song after song. Available in 80/20 Bronze and 92/8 Phosphor Bronze.


Martin Authentic Acoustic SP® strings offer excellent tuning stability, corrosion resistance and great 
playability.

AUTHENTIC ACOUSTIC – Marquis Silked

Martin Guitar knows a thing or two about pampering valuable instruments. If you’re looking for some extra protection for your fine guitar, Authentic Acoustic Silked strings are the right choice for you. We’ve added a soft silk wrap to the ball ends of our Authentic Acoustic strings to prevent wear and tear on the bridge and bridge plate as you play. Our silk wrap puts a comforting layer of protection in place every time you change your strings. Available in 80/20 Bronze and 92/8 Phosphor Bronze.

Martin Authentic Acoustic Marquis® Silked strings offer thread wrapping for bridge protection, corrosion resistance and excellent tuning stability.

AUTHENTIC ACOUSTIC – Lifespan 2.0

Martin’s next generation Lifespan 2.0 strings are engineered using a new, patented technology only available from Martin. This technology was developed to protect the core wire and the wrap wire to prevent corrosion without compromising tone – the single most important attribute of the guitar strings. Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 strings look better, sound better, and feel better, providing a smooth playing experience that reduces finger drag. We invested two years developing our next generation Lifespan 2.0 strings to ensure they will sound better, longer than any other extended-life string on the market. Available in 80/20 Bronze and 92/8 Phosphor Bronze.

Martin Authentic Acoustic Lifespan® 2.0 strings offer next-generation treatment for long life, great playability and feel, and superior reliability with authentic tone.
