Gauges: 12-16-25-32-42-54
This is the Light gauge sequence for the six-string set.

Independent shopping perspective
Martin’s MA140 SP set pairs 80/20 Bronze acoustic strings with a Light .012–.054 gauge range. The high-tensile-strength core wire is tin-plated across all six strings for added corrosion resistance, with quality wrap wire used to support consistent tone. It is built for players keeping up with regular practice and performance schedules. Choose it when you want the specific 12-16-25-32-42-54 gauge sequence and 80/20 Bronze construction, rather than treating “Light” as a substitute for checking the individual gauges.
