Review: Great strings at good price - Without doubt, Marquis are the best acoustic strings produced. Both the 80/20 Copper Bronze and the Silk on Steel give vibrant, bright and long lasting sound. I use them on my Guild D-50NT and Glenn Campbell Ovation. Review: Perfect tone, easy playing, and smooth. - I got two sets of these to replace the factory strings on two new guitars (a black Vangoa acoustic electric, and a Hesper dreadnought), and they're perfect. They did leave some oxidation residue on my fingers after stretching them out, but they're clean, bright, snappy, and easy on the fingers. There's also very little string squeak on these. I like the silk-wrapped ball ends for preventing wear on my new bridge holes, and they're staying in tune very well. These are a great value, and the quality is outstanding. ## Features - PROFESSIONAL GUITAR STRINGS: Discover your guitar’s true voice. These acoustic guitar strings feature a soft silk wrap to protect your bridge and added thickness to keep bridge pins locked in place for extra tuning stability. They’re available in extra-light, extra-light 12-string, custom light, light, and medium gauges. - HIGH-QUALITY DESIGN: Made from 80/20 phosphor bronze, these acoustic strings feature bronzed-steel core wire and bronze wrap wire with a silk ball-end wrap to prevent wear and tear. At first, the sound is a bright, punchy attack. It quickly mellows out as you play, making this pack ideal for bluegrass players. - PERFORMANCE READY: Best for rigorous practice and performance, our acoustic guitar strings can be used for fingerpicking and flat-picking.
