Then the last time I place my order for new strings from Sun Music in Nashville Arkansas, Dannis suggested I try a new Martin sting call Studio / Performance Series. They are great! They seam to be the same as the Marquis except the low E and B are Bronzed Steel. Configuration: Low E Bronzed Steel .012 B Bronzed Steel .016 G Bronzed Wound .025 D Bronzed Wound .032 A Bronzed Wound .042 E Bronzed Wound .054 What is the life? I'm not sue. I'll open a thread when I feel it is time to change the strings. |

I've had a set on my D18 for 6 months, and on a Simon&Patrick SP06CED for 10 months! Both in regular use. I usually change my strings at least every three months, whether they need it or not. When CFM&Co find out how long they last, thay'll probably stop making them, or double the price.
