Martin Strings MLJ13 Retro Acoustic 13-56 strings for western guitar

General

Are you looking for a string set that will give your western guitar a unique, vintage acoustic sound? Then this Martin Strings MLJ13 Retro Acoustic 13-56 set is for you. The strings are made of monel, a nickel-copper alloy that especially accentuates lows and mids. They are slightly less versatile than bronze strings, but if you are looking for a warm sound without sharpness in the higher frequencies, this is the ideal set. The higher tension of the 13-56 thickness requires a bit more strength in the fingers, but rewards with rich sustain and plenty of dynamics. Not suitable for beginners, but definitely recommended for guitarists who are fully committed to character and nuance.
