Vintage Tone Acoustic Strings from Martin

The MM12 Retro acoustic guitar strings represent yet another quality, vintage-inspired set of strings in Martin’s Retro line. These strings harken back to the 1930s, when nickel ruled the acoustic world. Made from Monel, a solid nickel/copper wrap, the MM12s let your acoustic’s natural wood tone ring through with a full low end, a high-end snap, and a solid midrange. The proprietary wrap on the MM12s is corrosion-resistant and impressively strong for a long life of uncompromised tone. Martin MM12 strings are a favorite among acoustic guitarists here at Sweetwater.

Martin MM12 Retro Acoustic Guitar Strings Features:

  • Vintage-inspired acoustic strings deliver superior acoustic tone
  • Monel nickel/copper alloy wrap wire is super strong and generates a cool vintage sonic vibe
  • Strings produce a crisp sound that mellows quickly to a warm, woody tone

Martin 000-15m

These are the best strings for my all hog Martin.
Music background: Advanced
Rated 5/5

Wow !!

Put these on my My Guild DV4 acoustic. Wow, this guitar has never sounded better. With the Retro strings you seem to be able to truly hear the tone of the wood,not the strings with the wood being a back tone.Give a truly balanced tone from high to low,and really improves the performance of a magnetic soundhole pickup with the nickel winding.
Music background: 40 yrs. Banging on a guitar.

Fantastic Strings!

I have a Godin 5th Avenue I was about to give up on cause it was just too bright. I read reviews on the Martin Retro Monel strings and thought I'd give them a try. I took a set of 12s to my Luther and he did a set up with the strings. I couldn't believe my ears! It removed the bright sound with a deeper richer sound. Give them a try!

BEST on my 000-15m

These are hands-down the best sounding stings on my Martin 000-15m. I've tried phosphor bronze strings in various sizes and brands, as well as pure nickel strings (which sounded 2nd best), but nothing compares to the clarity, musicality and punch that these strings offer. Like most strings, they sound best after a couple days of breaking in. They somehow continue to get better with age.
Rated 5/5

Best so far on HD-28

Just tried these on my HD-28 and by far the best strings I have ever had on it, and I've tried a bunch. Real smooth well balanced tone on this guitar. I will be buying more.
