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

These are the best strings for my all hog Martin.

they stretch out fast, i was playing within 3 or 4 hours and it was holding a tune quite well

I've been playing for decades and tried about every string out there at one time or another, and these are hands down the best strings I've ever used. Where have you been all my life!

These are some of the best fingerpicking strings I've ever tried. I put these on two budget all laminate acoustics and they sound amazing, (Fender FA-235E and Cort AP550M). I've had them on both guitars a little over a year now and they still sound good, still intonate and hold tune. Standard tuning, half step down, drop d, dadgad, open g....it doesn't matter, they sound great. If you have an all laminate beater guitar or just one that sounds dull, try these. I promise you'll be amazed. I've never had strings on a guitar for a year.

I've used a variety of strings on my Taylor 314CE. These strings sound mellow and bring out a nice tone in the guitar. They also last longer than some others I tried. These were recommended a while back by my Sweetwater Rep…thanks for the recommendation Joey!
