Martin M140 Strings Customer Review
I tried Martin's SP (Sustained Playability), maybe they do last longer, but I can't wait to take them off and put the bronze wound back on. SP's are to glassy, brassy and bright. All mid-range and no bottom — especially if you have a lam-top that needs a lot of bass to get the wood vibrating. The moral is don't skimp on strings that last longer. They'll turn your adavanced jumbo into your basic shrimp!

"Don't waste your money on these strings."
Sent email to advise them of quality problem with strings. Never received acknowledgement or reply.
Dull, no sustain at all
Had to throw away the entire set.

"Great product, probably the only thing Martin makes that most people can afford."
They're strings, how sexy can they be? But I guess if you like the sound it's an automatic DO WANT!
If you're a casual acoustic player that doesn't need a perfect folk tone, don't worry about these strings, but if you're a serious acoustic player that wants a great vintage folk sort of tone, don't pass these babies up. They're a bit expensive, but worth it in tone alone. Only gripe is I wish they were cheaper.
I'd give it a 10/10 for this, it's absolutely high quality. They last about a month and then you should probably replace them though, they're made for a more delicate sound, not good for jamming hard, but most people that buy folk strings probably aren't looking to do that anyway.
Haven't had to enquire
