Martin M240 80/20 Bronze Bluegrass Strings (12-56)
  ACOUSTIC GUITAR STRINGS BLUEGRASS: .012 .016 .025w .035 .045 .056
Martin Regulars 80/20 bronze strings are high quality strings that have been around for years and are designed for daily use. Players that are hooked on Martin Regulars never play anything else. And why should they? Once you find what you like, stick with it and play your little pea-pickin' fingers off!
The term "Bluegrass" on this set refers to the gauging. A Bluegrass gauge combines strings 1, 2, and 3 from a light gauge set with strings 4, 5, and 6 from a medium gauge set. The result is a set that sounds much like a medium gauge (more bass, louder volume) but plays more like a light gauge (less tension, easier to bend). And since the word "Bluegrass" just refers to the gauge here, you can still play acoustic rock with this set without fear of being arrested by the string police.
