Martin Flexible Core Strings for $3 a set!

[twocorgis]

Just a heads-up for those so inclined, Strings and Beyond has the Martin Flexible Core Phosphor Bronze Strings for $3 again, and they usually sell out pretty fast for this price. I use these strings and like them quite a bit, especially for the money. Shipping is free on orders over $35, so order up!8)

Never used them, but the way I play, $3 a set is a dealio. 4 sets coming.

Sweet - thanks Sandy!

Martin FX is on my short list of favorite strings.

I have heard FX strings tend to be a bit floppy. What say you? Will lights feel the same as other lights?

I've not found that to be the case at all, though I'm not a heavy strummer. In fact, I like the "regular" Martin strings just fine as well, but the FXs are just a wee bit easier on the fingers. They're also slightly easier to bend as well, if your tastes run that way. I'd be happy to send you a set to try out. I have 12-54 and 12.5-55 gauge. Shoot me an address offline, and the pleasure would be all mine. 8)

I like the FX strings for the way they sound. No problem with "flop" from me.

Just ordered 14 sets in all the gauges along with a 12 string set.
Thanks for the heads up Sandy

The great thing is once you order from Strings and Beyond, they send you email notification of these great deals they have. I got an email notice about this one. Really makes me wish I needed strings... but I'm still flush from my last order from them. They're a really good company to deal with.....

Here is another source for the strings. A little bit more per set, but free shipping on any quantity (if you don't want to spend the $35 minimum). Isn't the 6/$20 the best deal? :wink:

4 sets = $15
6 sets = $20
10 sets = $33.50
