User questions & answers

Question:	Are the strings, lite or medium
Answer:	Short answer, yes they should be fine. Long answer, the comparability between strings and guitars doesnt matter, its the string slots that in the nut that matter. The les Paul's usually use bigger strings anyway.
Question:	how wide
Answer:	Slinky is just a line of strings from Ernie Ball, the "Slinkier" they are the thinner they are, regular Slinky are 10 gauge strings, super slinky are 9s, and "Not Even Slinky" strings are 12s (the number represents the gauge of the lightest string in the set).
Question:	What is the difference between light, custom light, etc? I just receivrd my new Martin acoustic snd want to get a spare identical pair
Answer:	All 6 of the strings are in the pack, they just put each string into its own paper envelope for easy identification. The ball-ends aren't color-coded like D'addario. Hope this helps. :)
Question:	What are these strings coated with? Leaves black greasy residue on my fingers & causes indentations in fingers with black stuff inside
Answer:	Put a hook on one end. Unless your record bass has a floyd rose on it's back, and it pulls back too hard, you'll catch it!

User questions & answers

Question:	Martin guitar ma550 authentic acoustic medium guitar strings, 92/8 phosphor bronze, are these ball end
Answer:	Santa Cruz does not supply this information because their whole philosophy behind constructing strings is different. I would guess though that thy are in the medium to medium light category , along the lines of 11-52. Hope that helps. For a better explanation check out their website.
Question:	Will they fit a MG
Answer:	I believe they are phosphor bronze, but I'm not certain. Soundwise on a vintage D-18, they are very bright on the attack. High quality strings for sure, but they don't last any longer than Daddario phosphor bronze.
Question:	Martin silk and steel strings
Answer:	I used them on a 6-string and since they come in a regular 6 string pack. As far as results go I was pleased but decided to stick with my normal EJ-16s since they were a little brighter on the Taylor.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do these work with first act acoustic guitars
Answer:	They should work with most guitars. My guess is they will be way too long, but can be cut down. Make sure you do it after stringing and cut both wires on the wound strings so they don't unravel.I had to cut off about 8 inches on my acoustic Seagull.
Question:	Have a EJ200 Epiphone. Would like to replace strings. What type of D'Addario strings do I use
Answer:	I have a 45 year old Martin d-28 I use the extra light strings EJ 15 3 Dbecause I like to fingerpickthey have a very good warm soundif your guitar is fairly new try the light gauge strings they sound very good too and you can buy 3 packs for under $15 at Amazon. D'Addario makes a good string and I find they last a long time. I highly recommend!
Question:	I bought these for my son and the first two strings broke when he was putting them on. We are on the third set in twenty minutes
Answer:	When you put on a string, you have to allow enough slack for the string to coil around the tuner post. Feed the string through and leave enough slack so you can pull the string about 4 inches above the fret board and then slowly wind it up and as it tightens, pause once in a while let the string stretch. Some strings can take a day to stretch, some don't. Be patient. Good luck...but if you don't leave slack for coiling strings will break.
Question:	So does this come with all 6 strings? Im completely new to guitars
Answer:	Yes, this is a full set.Specifically this is a set of 3. If you want just one select the 1 pack. (I tried to include a link but Amazon defaults it to the 3 pack for some reason)It is possible to look up and find individual strings, but honestly that ends up being more difficult in my opinion and for the cost you might as well grab a set.I am fairly new to guitars as well, so let me just take a moment to say these strings are highly recommended. Great choice.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will these make my fingers work like Clapton's
Answer:	Not sure about your question, but I can state that I am an actual purchaser of the strings. If you're asking if the strings are authentic, there is no way to be 100% sure. They responded as normal for Martin strings which I used for years.
Question:	Are the strings coated
Answer:	"Best" is subjective. But I tried Elixor Light, but didn't like their coating. Just seemed slick on my fingers. When I got my guitar cleaned/adjusted, he put on Martin 80/20 light. My hearing ain't all that great to hear a difference...Maybe someone can chime on the sound.
Question:	Do these strings have a ball ending
Answer:	I prefer the Martin MSP 4100 SP light strings. On my parlor guitar they are very good sounding and seem to last a good while. I finger pick most of the time.

From Martin: 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. We invested two years developing our next generation Lifespan 2.0 strings to ensure they will sound better, longer than any other extended-life string on the market. Gauges: 13-17-26-35-45-56

• This bundle includes three packs of Martin MA550T Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 92/8 Phosphor Bronze Medium 13-56 strings.
