Martin MA170 acoustic guitar strings 10-47
If you want acoustic guitar strings with a fresh, bright sound, the Martin&Co Martin MA170 Bronze 10-47 is a strong choice. This 80/20 bronze string set uses 80% copper and 20% zinc, a combination known for a clear, bright tone and a distinct copper-like character.
With more playing time, that bright response gradually shifts into a warmer tone. That makes this Martin string set a good match for guitarists who like an open initial response and a sound that develops as they play.
80/20 bronze from Martin&Co
Within acoustic guitar strings, the difference between 80/20 bronze and phosphor bronze matters to many players. Where phosphor bronze is described here as rich, bright and warm with tone that stays consistent over time, the Martin MA170 focuses on the direct brightness and typical copper-like sound of 80/20 bronze.
C.F. Martin & Co has been making strings since the Martin family began building guitars. Those strings are developed and produced in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, by a maker that also builds its own guitars. At Magna Music, you can get personal advice from musicians when choosing the right string set for your acoustic guitar.
