I used Martin bronze wound strings in the sixties. I found an unopened set in a drawer. Would these still be good?If not,what strings for a Gibson J40 to get richest sound?

Here's an idea. Try them out..

If crap discard, otherwise keep. Not exactly rocket science, is it?

Except, there may be wealthy OCD martin collectors out there
willing to pay silly money for a vintage unopened set
of more than likely corroded strings...?????
