An ultra-fine layer of D’Addario’s exclusive EXP Coating is bonded to the 80/20 Bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire, resulting in a built-in barrier against corrosion and wear. Strings retain their inherent extra-bright tone and natural feel, yet last 3-4 times longer than traditional strings. These are D’Addario’s brightest-sounding extended play strings.

"Perfect Strings"

These strings will not easily rust, they never show dirt or grime and never flake.

The strings are a bit pricey, BUT you must realize that they pay for themselves around the 1st month you've had them. Because you don't have to change the strings, you're saving money.

The quality of the strings are extreemly high, as I stated before they have never slipped on me after first tuning. A capo will not cause need for re-tuning on these strings and they're very easy to put on your guitar, clearly labled and packaged.

I feel confident in using these strings on ANY of my future guitars, and they do make me have a bit more faith in the company.

Lovely tone. Deep bass, mids are clear and seperation is great, highs are sparkly without being too sharp. Dig in and it responds beautifully, especially with a flat pick. It projects well and is is very loud – deceptive for this slim body style. Altogether, this is the perfect tonal package as far as I'm concerned.

A functionally-appointed guitar with Indian rosewood back and sides, Adirondack (Red spruce) top and Ebony bridge/fingerboard. The Adirondack top is the twist to the tale, this type of spruce top was used mainly pre WWII and if you want a new guitar with that vintage pre-war sound and don't want to go to a custom shop, then take a look at this model – it's simply brilliant.

Action was set up really well, no buzzing, no cosmetic flaws, just great Martin build quality and craftsmanship.

Marquis

I have used many types of strings from elixers to Dean Markley's and everything in between but you cannot find a better sounding string than the Martin Marquis. I use them on an 82 Yamaha FG180 and when I first play with strangers in a jam session (playing Martin Guitars) they ask me "damn what kind/brand of guitar is that"? I tell them "it's the strings" although the guitar is not a high end instrument it is a good guitar. The marquis really set it off. Most of the time the strings hold up but here lately i have had some durability and tuning problems (not staying tuned). Do they sell lower end or reproduction marquis that i am not aware of. Anyway these are good strings man.

for under 800 you can't beat it…

I love this guitar, amazing electronic features. get this, stereo on board switching, plug in a trs cable and your good to go, on board input trim adjustment, and condensor microphone, all found when you lift up the face plate. I'm in the same boat with everyone else, wanted the taylor, but couldn't afford the tag at the time. For a full time worship leader, session musician, and engineer, this guitar is primo. the only way to go. Beautiful set net, natural woods and binding, matchbox back peice and a one of a kind fishman prefix sob. love it.

Have no idea why they aren't famous

I wanted to get a good quality Acoustic Electric guitar. I tried out a few Takamines and also the Martin DCX1E. The takamines were strong, but somehow lacked the warm mellow wooden sound. The martin DCX1E had a beatiful sound to it, but the finish was pretty ordinary. the Back and sides were not even wood, they were HPL and frankly it was not built for rough use. It was basically a lower end Martin. If you want Quality Martin, you'll have to shell out much more. Then fortunately i saw
the Parkwood PW360M. The moment I played it, I could feel the beatiful wooden acoustic sound ringing. It was very easy to play, with very low action. Initially the strings buzzed when hit hard. But when I adjusted the Action, it stopped buzzing and gave superb sound. The guitar is all solid wood unlike the Martin DXC. It also features nice Fishman Electronis with both pick up and mic setup. Also had an Built in Tuner.
In all it was the most balanced guitar I could find in terms of Sound, Playability, Quality, Strength and Price. The finish was too good. It felt like a lifelong Guitar.
I wondered why Parkwoods aren't that talked about. I bought it without a doubt in mind that I was getting the full worth of the money I put in.

Widely known for his relentless electric guitar assault — Zakk Wylde’s quieter acoustic side has been well received by critics and fans alike on albums such as Book of Shadows and Hang Over Music Vol. 6. The Zakk Wylde Icon Series Acoustic Strings have a wide dynamic range, delivering a crisp and full sound that allows Zakk to go from soft melodic fingerstyle to hard picked solos without losing detail or clarity. And like all Dunlop Acoustic Strings, they are made of the highest quality wire available and have carefully selected core to wrap ratios so that they break in fast and remain bright for a long time.

Best strings for the price!

I've used just about every manufactured acoustic string available, and the Dunlop Wylde Signature series are above and beyond even custom strings that I've used! They sound warm, clear and never tinny. Zakk wouldn't put his name on junk, try em' you'll go Wylde!
