EXCELENTE CALIDAD Y PRECIO.

Tengo poco con ellas. Suenan muy bien. No son tóxicas, pregunté a MARTIN directamente y me respondieron que solo usan materiales que no tienen riesgos para la salud, lo hice porque leí un comentario de alguien preocupado porque deja manchados los dedos, lo cual a mi no me ha pasado. Lo único que no puedo precisar es cuanto duran en realidad, pues tengo poco con ellas. Estoy convencido de que fue una buena compra.

Fabulous

These are the best guitar strings on the market. C.F Martin and co know exactly what they are doing when it comes to making guitars and guitar strings are no exception. Highly recommend these strings, they last longer (before sounding dull) and they sound fabulous
