Martin Guitar Eric Clapton's Choice MEC13, 92/8 Phosphor Bronze Medium-Gauge Acoustic Guitar Strings

LOVE THE WAY THESE SOUND! Been playing for 2 decades and these are BY FAR the absolute best strings I have ever used. They wind really smoothly and are easy to string. The sound is just absolutely exactly what I’ve been searching for all these years of simply using basic Earnie Balls. They have a great feel to them. It felt like an immediate upgrade on my guitar. I also love the color- it’s more unique than what I’ve been using. I honestly bought these because I’m an Eric Clapton fan, but will continue to buy them because they are most definitely my new favorite. They just feel and function differently- better. It’s almost an indescribable quality. I was very disappointed when I went to buy another pack and couldn’t find them though. I hope Amazon will keep these in stock and readily available.

I had been playing a Recording King Dirty 37 Series with the stock D'Adarrio strings on it for over 1.5 years. It is a very warm sounding parlor sized guitar, inexpensive but well made, easy playing and pleasing tone. Eventually the high E broke and it was time for new strings. I am not a fan of D'Adarrio, so I decided to give the Martin Eric Clapton strings a try. I was honestly surprised at the tonal difference/improvement. A musician relative of mine had done several informal acoustic jams with me but when he first heard it with the Martin EC's he assumed it was a new guitar and I received many compliments on its rich new voice. I truly seems that different guitars may have certain strings that just fit better. When the time comes I will try a set on my Epiphone Masterbilt Deluxe archtop. Highly recommended.

These are my favorite guitar strings, especially for blues and finger picking

These strings sound great. The tone last and last. They are bright sounding, and they really hold up The gauge is perfect for my Martin guitar.

yes these strings are a little stiffer. but the tone is just right. i play semi professional as a bluegrass artist and just love these. im a lead guitarist and the tone has a nice strong punch with well rounded mids. my brother plays martin 80/20's on rythem and the seperation is superb.

I hadn't tried these before, but I needed strings for my school guitar (I'm an elementary music teacher), and these were listed at a good price. I took a chance. When I first put them on, I noticed that they weren't as bright and crisp as the GHS strings I had been using. Not bad, just a little on the mellow side. Well, I used these strings all through concert season, and they have been great! The tone, while initially mellow, has stayed pretty consistent through these months, and I play that guitar a lot (probably 3-4 hours a day all together, every school day). I have beat the stuffing out of these strings, and they still sound alright. Since they were kinda mellow to start with, they haven't suffered that "dead" sound that brighter strings get after awhile (as much, anyway). If you need ultra bright, snappy strings, these aren't for you, but if you like consistent, smooth, easy-playing strings, I'd give these a try. They stay in tune really well, too!

I have no objections to these strings. They have been on my guitar for almost three weeks and the sound seems to me to be the same as the original strings. They voice clear and mellow with a twang and with bold sustain that is rich and bright. I like them. The strings need little retuning at each play. Maybe that is also due to the tuning keys on the guitar.

Great inexpensive strings. Sound great.
