Martin D220 Darco Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - Light | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Introduction
The Martin D220 Darco Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings deliver warm, rich tone with exceptional sustain in a light gauge configuration (.012-.054). These professional-quality strings feature phosphor bronze construction that provides deeper midrange warmth and enhanced longevity compared to traditional bronze strings. Perfect for intermediate to professional players seeking balanced tone and comfortable playability at an affordable price.
Product Overview
Martin's Darco line combines professional-grade construction with value pricing, making premium phosphor bronze strings accessible to working musicians. Each string is meticulously wound using a hex-core tin-plated steel wire wrapped with high-quality phosphor bronze, delivering the warm, complex tone that phosphor bronze is renowned for. The light gauge provides excellent balance between playability and full-bodied tone projection.
Phosphor bronze construction offers superior tonal characteristics compared to standard 80/20 bronze, with enhanced midrange warmth and reduced treble harshness. The phosphor content adds longevity to the strings, maintaining their tonal characteristics longer while resisting corrosion from natural oils and environmental factors. The hex-core design ensures consistent tension and improved tuning stability across all six strings.
These strings are engineered for musicians who demand reliable performance without premium pricing. Martin designed the Darco series specifically for players who change strings frequently to maintain optimal tone, allowing you to keep your guitar sounding fresh whether you're preparing for a gig or heading to the studio.
