MM13 Retro Monel Strings Medium

Brilliant for mahogany bodied guitars! Give that vintage whump on G runs and bluegrass styles without sounding too bright. These are .13’s I prefer. Have these on a Martin D18, and a very old epiphone slope shoulder hog, I can’t see me changing anytime soon.

Lovely

Strings!!! By Martin & Co !!!

These strings were incredibly easy to fit, especially since each one comes individually packaged—such a convenient touch. Once installed, they sound absolutely stunning, offering a rich, clear tone that really enhances the instrument. The only downside for me—and this is purely personal preference—is that the medium gauge feels a little too firm. I find I need to apply more pressure when playing, which can make my fingers feel sore after a while. This isn’t a fault with the product itself, but simply my own sensitivity and playing style. Overall, the strings are beautifully made and appear to be very durable. For players who prefer a firmer feel and want a bright, resonant sound, these would be an excellent choice.

These strings reduce the amount of pick attack noise so you hear a purer tone with a little less overall volume - a bit like very old worn in strings, but these will last longer. This works well acoustically if volume isn't an issue and/or you are miked up. It doesn't make a noticable difference if you amplify using a piezo pickup etc - I don't like bright jangly strings so perfect for quiet acoustic blues/jazz :)

These strings ‘sing’.

Great.

New strings are tearing. 6.5 strings broke off at the bend in the peg((

Me ha gustado la calidad , el sonido

So personally, I really LOVE the sound of these strings. If you are looking for something that gives your guitar just a little bit more life I would definitely recommend trying these out. Very happy with the way they brought my guitar to life and would definitely recommend giving them a try!

Le ho provate ma sono tornato a suonare con le corde in Bronzo , cmq un ottimo prodotto

These simply do everything I want... I've been searching for these strings for years... or I should say, I've been searching for this sound. I didn't know these existed until a few months ago. These just sound "round" to put it simply. The sound is just straight up thicc... chompky... lorge... or whatever the internet has come up with to avoid the word "fat." They're all that and a bag of apples... Trying to explain tone through the internet is pointless... just buy some if you're looking for anything other than the clanky janky standard acoustic sound. Some people love that sound, but I hate nothing more than fresh phosphor-bronze or 80/20 strings and some of them take WEEKS to get decent... breaking strings was a terrible event because it meant breaking in new strings and I always dreaded breaking them. These just sound good out of the box and get better with time. The biggest thing I've found with these other than their unique depth of tone is that I can make them "growl" when stumming hard and sliding. It's like a very fast subtle growl that's almost like a dirty slide guitarish kind of thing. I play with a lot of string/finger lube and slide a TON, I don't lift my fingers much and these fit that style like a dream. This not that shrieking sound from dragging fingers... it's a very low growl that I haven't actually figured out how to reproduce consistently yet but it just happens when I'm feeling good. I've tried all sorts of picks (do this asap if you've never done it) and my "go to" is still tortex yellow standard picks. I also have several other styles of picks in yellow like the Jazz 3XLs (my very close 2nd fav). Seriously... spend $30 on every pick variety pack on Amazon... you don't realize how wild the difference is and your sound may just be hiding in your choice of pick. I'm rambling... but the picks are relevant here because with these strings NONE of the 30ish different picks sound bad. Not one... they might not be what I'm looking for, but all picks still sound good with these strings. More traditional acoustic strings tend to sound like absolute garbage if you don't have the right pick... so with all that said, I think it's safe to assume these strings just sound better overall than anything else I've tried over the last 15 years. This is the first time I'm buying more than 1 pack of the same strings in at least 5-6 years.
