What buyers say about Martin Guitar MA130S Authentic Acoustic Custom-Gauge Marquis Silked Strings
I have used a lot of different brands of string but never silked strings, they feel good on your fingers, especially when you are getting back to the guitar after a long absence.
They have a mellower tone than the Elixers and are great for playing on my Taylor guitar.
I love these things, they are great for touching and feel great under your fingers.
The quality is nice and it's well packaged. Installation went well.
They sound bright to me, but not in a good way. The one good thing is that they are more comfortable on the fingers.
