Description: The Martin Retro MLJ13 strings are the original nickel acoustic strings dating back to the 1930s, revived with Martin's proprietary monel wrap wire. These are the preferred choice of renowned fingerpicker Laurence Juber, who values the uniquely mellow yet crisp sound these strings deliver. The solid nickel/copper alloy blend ensures consistent tone without overshadowing your guitar's natural voice, making them ideal for fingerstyle, folk, and acoustic jazz applications.
With enhanced longevity and warm natural tone, the MLJ13s excel on both dreadnought and smaller-bodied acoustics. Players love them for their comfortable feel, smooth bending characteristics, and the ability to maintain clear definition from bass to treble. They sound great both acoustically and plugged in, making them a versatile choice for studio and stage work.
