Our new Martin SP+ Extended Life Strings are specially coated offering a clear, rich, and long-lasting sound as well as numerous benefits, including protection from moisture, salts, perspiration, and other contaminants. In addition, the new SP+ coating helps insulate the wrap wire to prevent corrosion between the core and the wrap wires. Martin uses computerized equipment in a climate-controlled environment to verify the high tensile strength of all incoming wire prior to manufacture. The brass wrap is then carefully spun onto the core wire for the 4 wound strings of each set. SP+ strings use the same special brass plated core wire that is incorporated in the innovative SP string, but the brass wrap on the 4 wound strings is specially coated. With the coating, the surface of the string feels smoother and faster for the player.
