Martin MA540 SP Phosphor Bronze Light Authentic Acoustic Guitar Strings

The Martin MA540 SP Phosphor Bronze Light Authentic Acoustic guitar strings, superior performance strings engineered with the performer in mind and always stand up to rigorous practice and performance schedules. Martin starts with their highest tensile-strength core wire, then tin-plates it on all six strings for added corrosion resistance; because what you don't see matters. When coupled with the highest quality wrap wire you get consistent true tone that you can count on song after song.

Phosphor Bronze Wrap for Warm, Rich Tone

The MA540 SP features Martin's proprietary 92/8 phosphor bronze wrap wire. Phosphor bronze produces a warm, rich tone that mellows with age and use. The phosphor in the alloy helps protect the string from tarnish and corrosion, ensuring long life and consistent performance. The light gauge—.012-.054—is a versatile size well-suited to many playing styles.

Tin-Plated High-Tensile Core

At the heart of the MA540 SP are Martin's tin-plated high-tensile core wires. The tin plating prevents corrosion while the high-tensile wire provides maximum string stability under tension. Together they enable crisp tone, tuning stability, and long string life.
