Wonderful!

I've used regular Martin SP lights on my Taylor 214 for years. I recently bought a used Taylor 510 LTD (lucky me!) and found that the SP's were a bit twangy for that guitar. After trying about half a ... read more [+]dozen other types of strings, I switched to the Cleartone version of the SP's and I am very pleased with the tonal clarity. I play exclusively non-amplified finger style and never use a pick, so a clean, natural tone from each string is important to my ear.

The lifespan of the Cleartones is fairly stunning, too. I used to change the regular SP's on my 214 every few weeks (I play a lot). Approaching the two month mark, I finally changed the Cleartones on my 510 only because I wanted to clean and oil the fret board, polish my frets, and give my instrument a little TLC. But the old set was still sounding great. So I guess the downside is that the fret board won't be serviced as often using the Cleartones.

The nice thing is that the tone seems to remain constant throughout the life of the strings. After the first few hours of "spangley" newness, they settle in to a very consistent and reliable sound. close [-]

I've been a long-time fan of both Martin SP strings and Elixir coated strings. These Lifespan SP strings are the best of both. Clear, crisp tone and the coating doesn't shred like Elixirs do. I find ... read more [+]that they last a good long time, too. I have them on several guitars in my collection. They have become my favorite string. close [-]

I'm a fan of the regular Martin SP strings; however, these just don't have any tone to them. I got two sets free with my recent purchase, and I understand why. For my ear, I'll stick with the other Ma... read more [+]rtin strings. close [-]

I love the personalized service from Sweetwater! I buy almost all of my musical equipment from you. That way, my rep knows exactly what I'm working with and can therefore anticipate my needs in many ways.
