Martin MA175 Authentic Acoustic - SP - 80/20 Bronze Custom Light (11-52)

Sounds good. Conform to the expectations

Ottimo articolo. Venditore consigliato

Ich habe diese Saiten auf meine Ibanez Artwood Gitarre aufgezogen und bin so von 12er Saiten auf 10er gewechselt. Damit wollte ich näher an das Spielgefühl meiner Stratocaster rankommen. Das ist mit diesen Saiten auch gut gelungen. Gerade beim Wechsel auf dünnere Saiten hatte ich eine deutliche Verschlechterung beim Sound erwartet. Dies war aber gar nicht der Fall. Saiten sind sehr langlebig und lassen sich für mein Empfinden gut bespielen.

I’ve been using Martin Authentic Acoustic 80/20 Bronze Custom Light (11-52) strings for at least 10 years now. In that time I’ve tried plenty of others — coated, phosphor bronze, different brands — and I always come right back to these. I play acoustic at least 30 hours a week, and I change strings every 3–4 weeks. That works out to roughly 120–150 sets over a decade, so I know exactly what I’m getting every time I open a pack. Tone: The fresh 80/20 bronze shimmer is addictive, but more importantly it settles into a warm, balanced voice that records beautifully and sits perfectly in a live mix. They never sound brittle or harsh, just clear and musical. After a few hours of play-in they hold that sweet spot for the bulk of their useful life. Feel & playability: The 11-52 custom light gauge is the Goldilocks tension for me. I can play fingerstyle, flatpick, or dig into aggressive strumming for three hours straight without hand fatigue. Bends feel smooth and controlled, and tuning stability, once settled, is as good as anything I’ve used. Longevity in the real world: With my volume of playing (30+ hours a week), 80/20 bronze strings naturally start to lose their top-end sparkle around the 3-week mark. They don’t go dead, the fundamental tone is still there, but I change them right at that point because I’m picky. A less obsessive player would easily get a couple months. For me, a fresh set every 3–4 weeks is just part of the ritual. Consistency: Over 10 years, I can count on one hand the number of strings that had any issue — no exaggeration. The quality control, string-to-string balance, and set-to-set feel are remarkably consistent. That’s the main reason I’ve stuck with them so long. Bottom line: If you want that classic Martin shimmer with a gauge that’s easy on the hands but still drives the top, these are absolutely worth a try. I’ve trusted them on every guitar I’ve owned for a decade, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Highly recommended.

Me ha gustado el sonido de estas cuerdas, de momento varios días tocando bastante intensivamente y mantienen su afinación y sonido. Cierto que las limpio bien después de cada uso y guardo la guitarra en su funda y me suelen durar algo más las cuerdas. Al haber cambiado de calibre, el primer día cierto que se me hizo algo dura pero baje un tono la afinación (cosa que no resultaba bien con las anteriores porque no daba para más la tensión) hasta irme acostumbrando. En comparación con las otras que tenía, bastante más caras, contento. Buena relación calidad-precio. Y el cambio de fosforo-bronce a bronce, también bien. Le ha sentado bien a mi guitarra. Tenía miedo a que se oxidaran el primer día, como leí en algunos comentarios, pero de momento no, esperemos sigan así
