The sound is bright, but lacks a fullness found with some of the heavier strings such as Martin MSP4150 SP Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Light-Medium. The custom light are easier to play and have a bright tone to them, but can make a guitar sound like a cheaper model compared to the Light-Medium.

While I'll chose D'Addario EXL's for electric, Martin SP are my top choice for acoustic. The sound and reliability are unmatched for the money. They also have a neat bronze shimmer to them... Granted that's only aesthetic. |
