Silk is smooth, sensual, seductive—and downright practical, at least when it comes to protecting your guitar.
Martin adds a soft silk wrap to the ball ends of its MA530S Marquis 92/8 Phosphor Bronze accoustic guitar strings. The wrap helps protect your guitar's bridge and end plate as you play.
These extra light gauge strings are made with tin-plated steel core wire and Phosphor Bronze wrap wire.
