Does anyone know whether Martin use regular or (more expensive) SP strings on their outgoing models?

Maybe sounds like a pointless question, but I was doing an AB comparison with my friends Martin which sounds gorgeous with Medium gauge Martin SP's, and wanted a true comparison.

Thanks.

My new HD-28V came with medium SP's. I think this is standard on all dreads.
