The Martin MA535T Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 strings are a custom light gauge (.011–.052) acoustic string set wound in 92/8 phosphor bronze. They're designed for 6-string acoustic guitars and are actually the factory-recommended string for several Martin models — so if you're playing a Martin, this is exactly what the guitar was set up for.
What sets these apart from a standard string is Martin's patented Lifespan 2.0 treatment. Unlike a typical coated string, the Lifespan 2.0 process protects both the core wire and the wrap wire against corrosion and buildup without adding the slippery, artificial feel that coated strings are known for. The result is a string that holds its tone longer while still playing and feeling like an uncoated set. Custom light gauge (.011–.052) sits between extra light and light, offering a comfortable feel with a touch more volume and projection than a traditional extra light set.
