Q: What makes these Martin MA500FX strings "Flexible Core"?

Martin's "Flexible Core" design uses a thinner steel core wire for the wound strings. This makes the strings easier to bend and fret, reducing finger fatigue, especially on a 12-string guitar. It also contributes to a more comfortable playing experience while maintaining excellent tone and projection.
