Certainly Impressed. - I love 80/20 strings for their lively, clear sound, preferring them over phosphor bronzes, which last a little longer, but are more midrangey in character. Folks also say the “harmonic content” of PBs is “more complex,” but I actually feel 80/20s have more overtonal stuff going on. Whatever the case, 80/20s do have notably a shorter “fresh” life than PBs, even though I am not one of those folks with especially acidic hand sweat, but I’ve never worried about it because standard Martin 80/20s are pretty cheap. Anyway, I recently up and bought a new, Martin-style dreadnought after primarily playing electric for years (a total acoustic renaissance is happening in my house!), and I thought I’d treat the new baby with a special set of 80/20s after hacking off the Diaddario PBs the guitar came with. I chose these, though I love Diaddarios for my electrics and use them nearly exclusively and have for years. They make great strings as well. I typically use Martin’s for my acoustics, though. To the point, though: I must say these sound phenomenal, and after playing them A LOT for about three or four days—which is when untreated 80/20s start to lose their zing for me—they sound like I put them on two minutes ago. I have always steered clear of treated strings, but am impressed by and excited about these. They feel good and hold tune wonderfully. I like the zing of a fresh set of strings, especially for a big ol’ dread, though others prefer a more broken in tone. The set I have are 12s, as my days of effortlessly (and cluelessly) fingering the hell out of 13s on a long scale acoustic are gone, and they have a lot of body, zing, and ringing tone. Feel-wise they are about the same as regular Martin 80/20s, with the same tension and texture, so those claiming a softer feel might be a little too enamored by the concept of these, which is fine. The important thing is these strings seem to hold that fresh tone considerably longer. Not sure how long, but they haven’t dwindled even a tad yet, am already glad I gave these a try, despite their expensiveness relative to what I usually use. I just ordered a backup set, in fact. These strings are great. They also look mighty handsome—all new-looking despite having hours of play—on my spanking new dread Hope this helps. ## Features - LONG-LASTING GUITAR STRINGS: Discover your guitar’s true voice. These strings are designed with Martin's patented anticorrosion treatment to protect the core and wrap wire and extend the string life while ensuring quality tone and feel in every note. They’re available in extra-light, extra-light 12-string, custom light, light, and medium gauges. - HIGH-QUALITY DESIGN: Made from 80/20 bronze, these acoustic strings feature top-quality bronzed-steel core wire and bronze wrap wire. At first, the sound is a bright, punchy attack. It quickly mellows out as you play, making this pack ideal for bluegrass players. - PLAYER-FRIENDLY: Best for rigorous practice and performance, our acoustic guitar strings can be used for fingerpicking and flat-picking. If you have finger fatigue after playing or wish bending notes was easier, try a lighter string gauge. - VERSATILE STRINGS: String gauge is an important part of getting the best sound out of your guitar. We recommend using only our extra-light through medium-gauge strings on our guitars. Medium-gauge strings deliver more volume and are perfect for larger-bodied guitars. - THE TONE YOU DESERVE: For every handmade element we craft, we never forget why we do it: to help you set your creativity free. You’ll find a wide range of Martin strings that fit your instrument and playing style. Enjoy incredible tone, no matter what you play. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07GTLGMF9 | | Best Sellers Rank | #344 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #15 in Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Bronze | | Brand | MARTIN | | Brand Name | MARTIN | | Coating Description | Anti-corrosion treatment | | Color | Bronze | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,034 Reviews | | Finish Type | Bronze Plated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00729789558198 | | Included Components | 6 Martin Authentic Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Instrument | Acoustic Guitar | | Item Type Name | Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | C.

They are my "benchmark" strings. The guitars might change but the strings never do. I judge the sound and play ability of all my new guitars based on Martin custom light strings. I live in a very old house, in a hot humid part of the country and my strings were getting tarnished and not lasting like I hoped they would. I figured I'd try these new Martin coated strings. They are great. Smooth playing and much longer lasting. They'll soon be on all 3 of my acoustics. Better priced than the rip-off guitar shop near me, and I don't have to deal with those pompous jerks that like to talk to everyone like they're stupid. ## Frequently Bought Together - Martin Authentic Acoustic Guitar Strings, Lifespan 2.0 Treated, Medium, 80/20 Bronze - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - Martin Authentic Acoustic Guitar Strings - Lifespan 2.0 Treated --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/103256742-authentic-acoustic-guitar-strings-lifespan-2-0-treated-medium-80](https://www.desertcart.be/products/103256742-authentic-acoustic-guitar-strings-lifespan-2-0-treated-medium-80) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-13*
