## Overview

Martin MEC13 Clapton's Choice Acoustic Guitar Strings are medium gauge (.013-.056) phosphor bronze wound strings made in Mexico. Designed to deliver a warm, clear tone with bright highlights, these strings are endorsed by Eric Clapton and crafted for both live performance and studio precision. Ideal for players seeking balanced tension and lasting durability, they bring professional-grade sound to your acoustic guitar.

## Description

Clapton's Choice Phosphor Bronze guitar strings have a distinctively clear, warm tone with a hint of brightness that can highlight the subtleties of a player's style. Live or in the studio, they deliver the performance expected by Eric Clapton. These new strings are available in light and medium gauged sets. "When I play acoustic guitar, whether in a studio or on stage, these Martin Strings are my choice. They deliver the sound that I demand."

Review: I bought a set of these and several other sets of stings to find a set that would work for me on my new Taylor 814-CE. When I first put them on they felt OK, but they where too bright. After a couple of days they sounded great, I've always used Martin Strings, and D`Addario strings on my acoustics, but since this was my first Grand Auditorium size guitar I wanted to go through several sets. So far I've played a set of these and the D`Addario EXPs, and love them both. These are brighter than the EXPs, but both are well balanced, and sound much better than the Elixir's that came on the guitar when I bought it new. I have several other sets to go through yet, but you just can't go wrong on Martin strings, and the fact that E.C. is endorsing them is pretty much a guarantee that your going to get a great sound from these strings.

The best strings I have yet played. Bright full sound for my 3/4 Takamine. I find I always break Elixir's. These strings don't last forever - they get muddy pretty fast, but sound beautiful.
