AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
Take a journey back in time and experience the authentic sound of the 1930s with Martin MLJ13 Laurence Juber's Choice Retro Monel Acoustic Guitar Strings. These strings capture the essence of vintage tone, offering a uniquely mellow yet crisp sound that brings out the true character of your guitar's tonewoods.
Crafted with Monel, a solid nickel/copper wrap wire, Martin MLJ13 Retro strings ensure unmatched quality and durability. Unlike nickel-plated strings, there's no risk of plating defects or corrosion. The proprietary wrap wire is naturally corrosion resistant and incredibly strong, providing long-lasting performance.
With a sophisticated winding process that maximizes intonation and controls the coupling between the core and wrap wire, these strings deliver exceptional playability and tone. Rediscover the classic sound and let your guitar truly sing with Martin MLJ13 Laurence Juber's Choice Retro Monel Acoustic Guitar Strings. Elevate your playing and embrace the timeless sound of the past. Get your set today at Acoustic Centre.

As always, good product
Martin Retro strings are particularly good if you have a bright toned guitar and want to play that down a little, as with my dreadnought Maton. They still work well on other guitar types. The gauge is a little heavier than the standard 12-54 strings, but not quite as heavy as most 13-56 strings. So can work well in standard tunings. They are not coated but still last quite well.
Martin Retro strings are available in the standard gauges as well as two artist gauges; Lawrence Juber (LJ’s Choice) and Tony Rice. The latter two are 13-56 gauge strings but not as heavy overall as standard 13-56 gauge. The LJ’s Choice would suit guitarist looking for a bit more ‘body’ than 12-54 strings but still playing in standard tunings. Tony Rice strings are a little heavier again. The tone of Retro strings is more mellow than phosphour bronze strings and in many cases not as harsh or metallic. They work with the guitar rather than put their own tone on it. I use them on both rosewood and mahogany backed dreadnoughts and they sound lovely. They also last well and are comfortable to play. Give them a try!
