THE 2014 STRING CATALOG
www.martinguitar.com/strings
The Martin family has been selling guitar strings as long as they have been making guitars. Today, C. F. Martin & Co. ranks among the largest producers of acoustic guitar strings in the world. It is also one of the few guitar companies to make its own strings. C. F. Martin Strings are engineered in Nazareth, PA — by guitar players for guitar players — with the same care and passion that we pour into making our fine guitars because the goal is one and the same: to produce the best sounding guitar in the world.

Hunter Hayes
“I really like the new Martin SP Lifespan Acoustic Strings. With the torture my gear goes through on the road, it’s nice to have strings that resonate so well, so consistently. They seem to go hand in hand with the legendary Martin sound. These strings have also proven themselves in the studio, which is always a good test for me.”
— Hunter Hayes

Rich tone should last as long as the inspiration does. Our SP string, treated for superior performance and extra long life.
