AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
Martin Authentic Marquis Silk and Steel strings offer a distinctive playing feel and tone, making them a popular choice for guitarists who want a softer touch and a warmer, more vintage-leaning voice than standard phosphor bronze sets typically deliver. The 11.5–47 gauge sits in a comfortable middle ground, gentle enough on the fingers for extended playing sessions while still providing the projection and clarity that acoustic players expect from a quality string set.
A particular highlight is Martin's silk wrap around the ball ends, which acts as a protective barrier against wear on the bridge and bridge plate during play. This thoughtful addition provides a soft layer of defence each time strings are changed, helping to preserve the long-term integrity of the guitar's most vulnerable contact points. Available in both 80/20 bronze and 92/8 phosphor bronze, these strings suit fingerstyle players, vintage tone enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a smoother, more comfortable playing experience without compromising on sound quality.
