Martin Era Treated Strings Artist Light 12-54

Six-time GRAMMY winner Jason Isbell helped design the Martin Era Artist Light strings to deliver the tone, feel, and dependability he needs on tour. Featuring a traditional SP core for strength and familiar response, plus Lifespan treatment for long-lasting clarity, these strings are built to perform under pressure—night after night.

For Jason, tone is more than sound—it’s connection and feel. In this exclusive video, Jason shares the story behind his first signature set: the Martin Era Artist Light strings. Built with a traditional SP core and finished with distinctive red silk-wrapped ball ends, they feel comfortably broken-in from the first strum. 

Martin Era strings combine premium materials, advanced technology, and Martin’s legendary craftsmanship to create strings that feel as good as they sound.
