Coated Round Wound
MAGMA E.D. Acoustic Guitar Strings are Coated with a Phosphor Bronze alloy, and wound over a hexagonal steel core, for durability and a rich sound.
Flat Wound
MAGMA FLAT acoustic guitar strings are made of phosphor bronze, round wound, and then flattened. This process provides higher volume, brilliance, and a longer sustain than traditional flat strings. The soft, smooth surface eliminates unwanted finger noise and squeaks, providing a clear, deep sound.
Round Wound
MAGMA ROUND WOUND PB Acoustic Guitar Strings are made with a phosphor bronze alloy which provides a balance between volume, and the bright, warm tone needed for a rich acoustic sound.

These strings are wonderful in every way= tone, playability, longevity. Do NOT buy them on amazon because here they overcharge by ~$6 per package. This is generally considered as 'gouging' or swindling. Great strings-bad price. Look elsewhere, please do not encourage this behavior. My two cents.

I put them on my Fender Acousticonic Teleand at first I didn’t think that the pins would seat, the 6th string was the worst, but after a few tries I got it to seat. Then I started playing it and really didn’t like the feel so I gave it a little while and damn I love them. The only reason I’m giving it 4 into of 5 is the problem with the pin seating. I ordered 3 more sets and probably won’t use any other ones. You will enjoy the feel once you get used to it.

These strings initially performed as I had anticipated. Finger squeak was gone and the tone was slightly warmer than the DR Rare Acoustic Custom Lights I have been using on 4 of my acoustic guitars. I installed these on my PRS SE P20. I replaced a set of the aforementioned DR strings with these Magma flat 10-48's.The lack of finger resistance due to the flat finish of these strings took a couple of days to get used to. But once acclimated to the feel of these strings I immediately ordered a set of the Light+ 11-52's to put on my A&E parlor guitar. It was enjoyable playing without any finger noise. The tone was great and the feel was different in a good way. For what it is worth, I mostly play acoustic blues and use a pick.However, after a week of playing with these strings I noticed the wound "G" string was beginning to exhibit roughness from the 3rd to 8th frets. Within 10 days the flat winding on the "G" string had completely failed at the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8th frets. The frets on my PRS acoustic are smooth and highly polished so wear from abnormal frets was not the issue. Hopefully the attached photo shows the failure points between frets 3 and 6. I have since removed the Magma "G" string and put the six month old DR "G" string back on. I am now starting to see the same issue manifest itself on the "D" string.I have been playing for 60+ years, have numerous acoustic and electrics and have used most brands of strings on the market. I wipe down my guitar neck and strings after every playing session and get very good life out of my string sets. At this point I am sorry I bought these and doubly sorry I ordered a second set.

I usually play electric guitar with chrome flat wound D'Addario's so going to my acoustic was hard on the fingers and I don't like the screech of the round wounds. I then tried silk wound Ernie Ball's and then D'Addario flat tops and it was an improvement. I then read on a Martin forum about the easy playability and quietness of the Magma's and I just put them on my Martin SC13e. There is a marked difference between the D'Addario and the Magma's. Both are ground rounds but the Magma's are much smoother and easier to play. No screech ! So after trying Martin,Ernie Ball,and D'Addario strings these are the one's that work best for me!

I've been playing guitar for 40 years & just now got turned on to flatwound strings. After much study, these were the first flatwound I tried... & I love them! I put them on my Martin Acoustic & they're just as bright & beautifully sounding as the Elixer brand I had been using, but with an almost undetectable "string sliding."They're also easier on the fingers!I'm re-stringing my other acoustic & my 12-string with these. I didn't find a 12-string version but the magic is really in the heavier "wound" strings... so I'll just put the 6 string set on & use the elixer strings for the other 6.

I've been playing with "flatwound" strings for over twenty years. It's a little hard to find flatwounds for acoustic guitar. I normally use Galli flats on my acoustic but unless I get them directly from the manufacturer, they can be hard to find elsewhere. I decided to try these Magma strings as an alternative. Unfortunately, I am disappointed. They actually feel really nice, but where they fall short is tone. Every guitarist knows that Tone Is King. Their sound is quite brittle. I will stay with Galli V/34 flat wound bronze, acoustic strings which are brighter, cleaner, and more full bodied.

I don't use these. I don't play in a mariachi band. If you have a cheap guitar and want to play loud and percussive, these might do.
