LUXE BY MARTIN® Kovar™ SP® Core Guitar Strings – Medium Gauge | Nickel-Cobalt Alloy Wrap with SP Core | Lower Tension, Balanced Tone, and Long-Lasting Performance

I'm a very well known harsh strummer on the acoustic, I've broken strings on stage like no tomorrow. I've had my instrument adjusted to prevent breakage but every luthier says it's my style of playing that's hard on the strings. I've been using Martin's for a half a year now, and I tell ya these strings don't break. They sound amazing, clear, bright, and are easy to strum. I highly recommend these!

These strings are legit.

I bought these strings for all my guitars, half of which are acoustics and half are electrics. They work on both types of guitars, very well in fact. I'm very happy with their sound, even on the acoustics. The sound is very bright.

Did not like the sound of these. I am a big fan of Martin strings but not these Kovar Luxe strings.

I always used pb strings on my Martin 000-18 md. I’ve heard a lot of good feedback about these Kovar strings. So, I decided to give these a try. I like the dry sweetness it adds to my Martin’s tone, however, these lack the clarity and punchiness of phosphor bronze strings. I think I’ll be going back to pb strings

I bought these to try on my new martin, it has a sepele top instead of the traditional spruce and has a very different sound, it doesn't have that distinct martin high end. These strings work great on it, seem to have a more even distinction between lows and highs. They feel great as to playability, only time will tell if they last as long as the SP lifespans

Great strings. Remind me of Martin retros. Sound and play great!

I transitioned to these from Elixir nanoweb coated phosphor bronze, which I'd been using for, I dunno, at least a decade. When I learned these came out, I had to try them. I use monel strings on my mandolin and these are like monels but new? Gotta try the new thing, so I did.Martin hit it out of the park with these. My guitar has never sounded so good! They are darker in tone, but with overtones that give a depth and warmth that is just... wow, especially after breaking them in for a bit. I don't have adequate words to explain it, you just have to hear them.Tone and string preference are, of course, highly personal choices. YMMV.

I have always used Martin strings con all my guitars but this the first time I have used the Luxe type and I am very pleased at this point with their sound. If they have a decent life span I will most definitely use them again and I do recommend you give them a try.

These sound excellent and are silver like electric guitar strings, they are actually designed for acoustic guitars that can plug into a acoustic guitar amp and should sound better than regular strings through the amp

Manque de netteté, j'ai remonté de suite un nouveau jeu de rétro, je retrouve un son régulier équilibré avec super Sustain

I’ve been on the hunt for a sound similar to played in phosphor bronze, but straight out off the packet rather than after a few weeks, and these are just the ticket. I have both my Martin 00-18 (lights) and GS Mini Mahogany (mediums) strung up with them and I’m very happy with the sound. It’s full and balanced with a good bass response. They’re also lighter tension and easy on the fingers, which is helpful as I’m a fingerstyle player. I got almost three months of play out of my last set, which offsets the extra upfront cost. At the end of the day, taste in strings is entirely dependent on the player and the guitar, and there’s no right answer. But I’d say these are well worth a try.

良い音です。記載通りTitanium coreより若干テンションが強く(他の弦より柔らかいが)はっきりした柔らかい音です。それに少し鈴鳴りもある。アタックやストロークの混じるテンポの良い曲が好きな人や、Titaniumは柔らかすぎると感じる人はこちらの方が良いかも。耐腐蝕性や持ちはTitaniumで４ｹ月使ったので、材質は違うけど信頼できます。
