While I really like DR Sunbeams the last 6 months or so I've been using Martin Bluegrass light-mediums (12-56) M240's on all my Martins, dreads and small bodies.
They sound great on the dreads and, to me, amazing on the small bodies with the heavier low end strings really bringing out the bass on smaller body guitars.
I have them on some pretty exotic 1/4" scalloped braced OM's with no problems, so heavier braced non scalloped 000's should be fine, and boy what a rich warm tone.
Definitely not a common choice but a winner in my book and I've had a lot of different strings on a lot of different Martins. Highly recommended!
