Has anyone tried these strings? I already prefer phosphor bronze on my Taylor to soften the brightness a little. These look interesting.

I always use Stringjoy phosphor bronze strings on my Taylor 6 and 12 string acoustics. They are noticeably better to my touch and my ear, but your milage may vary.

I use them on my Acoustic, I used to use Elexir nanoweb and didn’t like how bright they were, so I tried the EC signature ones on a whim and have used them ever since. I use the 12 - 54’s, I used to use 13 - 56’s but tried them and then the 12’s and have stuck with them.

No, I haven’t tried Martin’s special CAlptonn string. I am a bit allergic to buying a name.
On my Taylors I use Elixir Nanoweb phosphor bronze that is a bit less bright than Elixir Nanoweb 80/20 Bronze. There is also an Elixir Polyweb that is even warmer. They are all coated but Polyweb is an older version of coat that takes less wear. For many years Taylors came with Elixir Nanoweb but now they come with Daddario’s coated strings. Next time I will try those since I have Daddario on all my e-guitars. Om my 6-string Taylor I have one step thinner strings than it came with, i.e. use 11-52, so I can do some blues bends. I use Elixir for my 12-string as well and since it is not a much used as a 6 string it is excellent with coated strings thar won’t corrode.
I currently use Elixir phosphor bronze. I wasn’t in the market to change strings as much as I was just curious about these Clapton strings that I had never heard of before.
