    I think the guitar is 100% junk. Won't stay in tune and sounds horrible. It's like something you'd buy at Walmart. A $1500 dollar waste.

    I really like the Elixirs on my D28 but ended up selling the D28 and bought a D18. I'm a fan of Elixirs but find them too bright on my Martin but love them on my Taylor. I think I will be trying out Martins next time because I want to tone the D18 down and not be too bright.

    I don't like phosphor bronze for like the first 12 hours.. And they need to be played in a little bit too. They're kind of brittle and in your face for a while.... Never know if I'm going to like a phosphor bronze string until it's a little bit played in.

    I love both sets of strings to be honest. Each set has its own unique characteristics. I always thought I was an Elixir guy myself, and then I bought my first D18 and it came with the Martin strings. After playing with them for some time, I’ve really come to appreciate the Martin strings. But in truth, I’d be happy with either set.

    I have a guitar where the highs can be a little powerful with brand new phosphor bronze strings, but after a few hours of playing once the highs begin to die, that was about ideal. For years, I used Elixir's which tamed the high end and also lasted a while. I have since found strings I like better on that guitar, but I our experiences are generally similar.

    Since Covid happened, I swear there has been a dip in quality of Elixir strings. They sound more dead than they used to. I think they’ve cut corners somehow w how they’re making them to cut cost. They aren’t the same string as they were 10 years ago.

    Cant agree more.. I was using the D'Addario XS PB strings on my dreads and j-45s for a year till recently a came across the Martin Authentic acoustic 2.0. strings and fell in love with it. Yes, the XS strings last forever like the elixirs but the tone does not settled in. its like having a new set of strings for 6-8 months.. not that i dont like the sound of new strings is just that for my old ears i find it too bright after few hours of playing, the feel is also different too. but then again, we all have different preferences. now i use different types of strings on both of my guitars. Dreads - Martin Authentic Acoustic 2.0 J-45s - Martin Retro strings

    While the neck of the SC-13 is great and the super light strings are nice to play. There are a lot of better sounding guitars in this very competitive price range from other manufacturers.

    I think with the Martin strings it sounds like someone turned the volume down. Elixir is too bright it louder. I think the Daddario xp songs sound better than both and it’s fairly noticeable to me. What do you think about string joy? I hear they’re really good??? I have 2 Martins I use most far more than my Taylor. Thanks

    Personally, I think you would get a fuller sound between bass, mid and treble if you put 12’s on the guitar and either set would sound better and your playing would be better and easier to play.

    I just got myself an all mahogany SC 10e and I love it. I bought it for performing live. It is very comfortable sitting and the ease of play helps a lot over a 3-4 hour gig. I am getting old and do not have the strength I once had. I like mahogany top acoustics so this guitar was a no brainer once I discovered it.

    I found this video searching for strings for my HD-28. Before I got the HD-28 about 5 years ago I had a Martin D16 RGT Dreadnought and always used Elixer Nanoweb 80/20 bronze strings. I think I fell out of love with the price, but I can attest to the piano like brightness, long break-in period and longevity of those strings. I always preferred the Elixers after the broke in after months and lost the brightness. For the past 5 years, I’ve been using Diadarrio 80/20 bronze on the HD28 and changing them more frequently. I couldn’t get enough brightness/punch out of Diadarrio phosphor bronze. I recently changed to Diadarrio 80/20 XP and I’m still not getting the sound I want. Now to tie this all into the video…..I also picked up a D18 standard about a year ago and they come with Martins Lifespan 2.0 Phosphor Bronze. I cannot believe how good that guitar and string combo is! The sound is perfect to my ear. I will try the Lifespans on the HD soon.

    I love the SC!....coming from 20 years of Electric, I can absolutely shred on it, lack of finger fatigue is Everything for me.......sadly I turned down more expensive guitars because my fingers were toast after a few minutes. My hands are incredibly strong, but I'm clamping super hard.....the SC just feels Electric and normal to me, strings were soft....and the Tone sounds like Dreadnaught, so I dig it.

    I would have to agree with your thoughts on this sound test. Yes, the Elixirs maybe last longer but no one talks about, is the fact the Elixirs are twice the price of Martins. They should last long for that price. In the long run, it's all subjective and like comparing Chevys to Fords.
