"Authentic Acoustic Superior Performance" means these strings are crafted for consistent tone, excellent tuning stability, and long-lasting playability.

Q: Are Martin MA180 strings coated for extended life?

Martin MA180 Authentic Acoustic Superior Performance strings feature a tin-plated steel core, which contributes to their longevity and tone by resisting corrosion. However, they are not externally coated with a polymer for extended life in the way some other strings are. This design choice allows for a traditional feel and direct string-to-finger contact, delivering the full, natural brightness and resonance of the 80/20 bronze.
