## Description

Product description

Review: Wow what a change to tone! - I've read in multiple places that these Retro stings do especially nicely on smaller body guitars. I can confirm with my Yamaha CSF1M Parlor, which I also purchased here on AMZN. I went thru all the other major brands, Ex, EB, D'A... both PB and 80/20 and they all seemed to sound a bit "boomy", oil can like and unfortunately lacked the "depth" of this supposedly good instrument compared to its full size brothers. These Retro's completely changed the tone and sound of the guitar. They are loud, clear and have a wonderful warm sound. I bought the extra-lights which I will admit still feel "heavier" perhaps compared to other brands' EL's, so I wouldn't say they're beginner-friendly. BTW, I also have a bone bridge so that may be part of the total sound improvement but it was installed many strings ago before these Retros. So, give them a try. For the price, you can't go wrong and will at least experience what other materials can offer for your instrument and style of playing. Also, being nickel these are not your typical bronze/yellow strings, so depending on guitar "colors", frets, rosette, etc. they may end up looking great on your guitar as it does on my Yamaha parlor, which has silver/metallic accents everywhere, making these strings look awesome with guitar details. Edit: Still sounds amazing after 2 months of moderate playing and no issues. Now tried them on Yamaha APX600FM thin-bodied guitar and wow...they make that guitar just explode with beautiful clear full tones and sound so much bigger than the guitar actually is. and yes, they do sound great plugged in just the same!! This is now my Strings for all my smaller bodied guitars.
Review: Martin Retro (Nickel-Copper) Acoustic Guitar Strings - These are by far the best acoustic guitar strings I have ever tried. Very easy on the fingers without sacrificing sound quality. Wish I had found these earlier.

## Features

- PROFESSIONAL GUITAR STRINGS: Made from monel, a nickel-copper alloy, our Retro acoustic strings provide a reduced pick attack that allows the guitar’s tonewoods to be heard—not overshadowed. These solid guitar strings are the real deal, offering a true, consistent tone.
- LONG-LASTING DESIGN: Discover your guitar’s true voice. These strings are designed with Martin’s naturally corrosion-resistant materials to protect the core and wrap wire and extend string life while ensuring a quality feel in every note. They’re available in extra-light, custom light, light, medium-light (“Laurence Juber’s Choice”), and medium gauges as well as in the bluegrass-inspired “Tony Rice’s Choice” string gauge.
- PERFORMANCE READY: Best for rigorous practice and performance, our Retro Acoustic Guitar Strings offer enhanced longevity with a warm natural tone, and they sound great plugged in. If you have finger fatigue after playing or wish bending notes was easier, try a lighter string gauge.
- VERSATILE STRINGS: String gauge is an important part of getting the best sound out of your guitar. We recommend using only our extra-light through medium-gauge strings on our guitars. Medium-gauge strings deliver more volume and are perfect for larger-bodied guitars.
- THE TONE YOU DESERVE: For every handmade element we craft, we never forget why we do it: To help you set your creativity free. You’ll find a wide range of Martin strings that fit your instrument and playing style. Enjoy incredible tone, no matter what you play.
