If you've ever wondered what type of acoustic guitar strings are right for you, then look no further.

In this video I team up with Martin Guitars to shoot out 8 different sets of their strings. All the strings you hear are 13-56 sets, except for the Silk and Steel set which is an 11.5-46 (This is the only gauge this set comes in!)

I look at the tonal differences, construction methods, material and more to find out what the perfect string type is for each player.

In the video you are hearing the D-18 mic'd with a Lewitt Audio LCT440 condenser mic and a Rode NGT1 Shotgun Mic.
