When you buy a new car, do you get every possible gadget and gizmo on it? Or do you prefer a simpler car that's trustworthy but less expensive?
If you're in the latter group, the Martin MA175 Traditional 80/20 Bronze acoustic strings are for you. They don't have any bells or whistles—just pure tone that's the standard for bronze acoustic strings.
Martin Traditional strings are the company's flagship line. This custom light gauge set is made with bronzed steel core wire and bronze wrap wire.
