Retro Acoustic MTR13 Bluegrass-Gauge Guitar Strings, Tony Rice’s Choice, Monel Nickel

Great strings! If you're looking for bright, probably not for you. I like the way these strings sound after a little break in time. If you're playing grass, you're more apt to like them (in my opinion). Obviously, it's gonna be a personal preference. The price is right if you change your strings a lot.

I've used alot of different strings through the years. These seem to be the best fit and tone for my Martin. Others have commented at jams that my tone stands out, not meaning to brag. Some have commented that these get dull quickly. I haven't heard that yet, they seem to last a normal amount of time depending on how often you play. I really like them. I tried the lighter set and, while nice, the medium set works best for me. I play folk, bluegrass, blues and it all works.

I’m thrilled with these bluegrass strings! They’ve brought newfound tone to every guitar I’ve put them on. I’ve put them on two acoustics, a twelve string and two semi hollow electric guitars. A little bridge modification on the acoustic guitars and , WOW! What tones and twang! My guitars have found a new voice and have come alive! I have had three people inquire and have shared the info of my find. Very happy with these strings!🎶🎵🎶🎶

Flat out one of the best strings!

Retro/Monels are my favorite Martin strings - for sound, longevity, feel, and even the fact that they don't leave any smell on my fingers. However, they use non-standard gauges, which takes some getting used to. In particular, I would prefer a .17 B string in this set. the .16 B is slightly floppy compared to the rest of the set. There is a Monel set with .17 B (Laurence Juber's choice), but comes with lower guages for the A,D, and G.

Tony knew what he was talking about when he recommended these strings, my Martin never sounded better

I usually use Elixer nano webs 12-53 on my guitars. When I got my new HD -28 Martin It had Martin SP Authentic strings on it. They sounded good but It was missing something. So I changed them out and put on my trusty Elixers. It still didn’t sound like I thought it should. Don’t get me wrong even cheap strings on an HD-28 will sound amazing. But it wasn’t the sound I had in my head. So I started to look at the Martin Retros and read the reviews especially the negative ones and thought I’d give them a try......Wow! They are awesome. Just what my HD needed ,made it come to life. Just the sound I was looking for. Warm and full just the right amount of bass but also has enough midrange to cut through without being thin and tinny. They have a little more string squeak then Elixers but not enough to change my mind. I literally just put these stings on 10 min ago and had to write a review. No break in time needed. I’ll bet they sound better after a week or so though. I’m not a fan of 80/20 but love phosphor bronze. But on my Martin HD I’ll be using Martin Retros from now on. These are the Tony Rice 13-56 Retros.

Best bluegrass strings ever

2、4、5弦がミディアムより若干細ことが影響しているのかフラットピッキングがすごく弾きやすいです。

Really nice strings, have tried some of the others in the Martin Acoustic retro range and these are my faves so far. Bright sparkly high notes but with some real punch in the bass. Will definitely be buying again.

I use Martin strings on my D41. I'm liking the sound of the monels on the guitar.
