I play professionally and wanted something for my Martin D35. Played other strings over the years on my baby so I thought I’d give it a shot. Very happy with the results. Silvered highs and phos bronz mids and lows give all the round resonance and tone I am looking for from a Martin like mine. Priced nice but the shipping can be a bit rough unless ordered in quantity. Recommend a trial shot with one set to see if ya like em then drop some money on quantity for eco reasons.

I really don’t like these strings much. They’re nice for the price, but it leaves much to the imagination. The tone quality is average, somewhat muddy. What I really don’t like about them is that they took the volume out of my guitar. I had a loud, explosive guitar, and with these strings on I was left with about 80% the volume. For un-mic’d performances, this is undesirable.

A great set of strings. True, I’m partial to Martin products anyway, and have been playing with their SP line of strings for a while now, but I find these strings to have a great sound from first play. The light SP Martins felt too thin, and I wanted something different from the medium gauge SP’s I have been using, and Clapton’s Choice is a good choice for almost any style of music.
Also, I received them from the third party vendor quickly and efficiently.

I love EC so I tend to gravitate to things with his name and image. But honestly I thought these strings would seem no different from the many other brands I’ve used over the years. I was suprised to find that they really strike a nice balance between bend-ability and picking and strumming response. I’m very pleased and I definitely recommend them.
