Dean Markley 2004 ML 85/15 VintageBronze Acoustic Guitar 12-54

The strings already hold tuning well and I expect them to last a long time. They have been around since the very early 70’s!

Just got these and have not put them on my guitar so I can’t write a review jus yet. Thanks.

I use these on my Martin Dread. Love the feel and tone.

I play a *somewhat* aggressive, percussive fingerstyle guitar. I find typical medium sets too 'tough', and light sets have too much give. Enter these medium-lights. Now that they have a .016 B string (used to be a .015, which was absurd), they're just about perfect for me. Provide a crisp, clear sound but not overly bright (I'm not a fan of the phosphor-bronze sound.) Yes, I wish that the D and A were 34 & 44 (rather than 32 & 42), but so it goes.

My ideal set is the Newtone Master Class 12-54 (and they are truly excellent strings), but at one third the price, the Dean Markleys are plenty good enough as my affordable go-to strings.
