Description
Martin SP 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Strings Extra Light 10-47 are a bright, responsive set for steel string acoustic guitarists who want effortless playability and a lively top end. The extra light 10 to 47 gauge reduces finger fatigue and makes chord work and expressive bends feel easy, which is ideal for beginners, younger learners and experienced players who prefer a softer touch. Whether you strum, flatpick or fingerpick, these strings deliver clear note separation and a sparkling acoustic voice that helps your guitar sit well in a mix or carry a solo performance.
Features
Extra light feel, big acoustic voice
The 10 to 47 gauge offers a noticeably softer touch across the neck, so fretting chords and playing melodic lines feels comfortable from the first tune-up. Despite the lighter feel, the set maintains a confident acoustic presence with strong projection and crisp articulation.
80/20 bronze for bright, sparkling tone
Wound with 80 percent copper and 20 percent zinc, these strings produce a clear, brilliant top end with focused lows. The sound is lively when new and mellows pleasantly with playing, giving you a versatile tonal palette for strumming and fingerstyle.
High tensile, tin-plated core
Martin’s SP core wire uses high tensile steel that is tin-plated for added resistance to corrosion. This improves tuning stability, helps the set settle quickly after fitting and offers dependable performance for longer than many entry level alternatives.
Consistent build you can trust
Precision winding and strict quality control deliver even tension, accurate intonation and a smooth feel along the string length. The result is a set that plays in tune up the neck and feels balanced across all six strings.
Versatile across styles
From gentle acoustic accompaniments to articulate picking, these strings respond well to a wide range of techniques. They suit most standard six string acoustics and make an immediate upgrade over basic factory fitted sets.
