Sound good on my d18 martin good quality strings

Tim turned me onto these I was never picky but as usual Tim had the answer

Although I have experimented with other popular strings, these produce the perfect tone on my vintage Martin guitars. I play for several hours a day and change strings more often than required, but I find these strings do have a long life span. I highly recommend them.

Great strings and great service from
Logan Ashman!

I acquired a Martin guitar and decided to use the same strings that come with the guitar. I really like the crisp, lively tone, and longer life. I'd recommend them!!!
