Martin

collapse expand iconDescription

Martin’s next-generation Lifespan 2.0 strings are engineered using a new, patented technology only available from Martin. This technology was developed to protect the core wire and the wrap wire to prevent corrosion without compromising tone—the single-most important attribute of the guitar strings.

Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 strings look better, sound better and feel better, providing a smooth playing experience that reduces finger drag. Martin invested two years developing these Lifespan 2.0 strings to ensure they will sound better, longer than any other extended-life string on the market.

This is a 92/8 Phosphor Bronze Medium pack.

    These are the only strings I use on my Martin D-28, or any other acoustic I've ever owned. Exceptional tone, feel, sound, and playablility. When it comes to strings or gear, yeah… i'll trust the best rated company out there thats been around for almost 200 years. #sweepstakes

    I play daily and they provide a good consistent tone (YMMV) for about three to four weeks. Feel is good, and a good alternative to the tone generated by the retro's I use on my other Martin.

    Sound good and easy to install. Individually wrapped and sealed. Kinda expensive as you are mostly paying for the name.

    No. The only time it would is if the strings are super light or super heavy. this thickness should be fine.

    These strings would work well and sound good on your Martin D10.
