The singing Martin

I'm not a Martin guitar fan but I don't mind trying the strings. I've tried the D'Arco version for electric strings before so this isn't a first. The 80/20 version are bright-sounding so there is no question of  clarity here. However, do note that there is a trade-off between clarity & warmth. The latter consideration is partly attributable to the guitar's acoustics as well, so we understand that brightness (especially excessive brightness) will mask off warmth. I feel that the 80/20s are great for big-bodied acoustics in need of single projection.
