Description: Martin Retro MM11 strings are crafted from a long-lasting proprietary nickel-based alloy blend that mellows quickly to a warm vintage tone, bringing out the unique woody sounds in your acoustic guitar. The tin-plated hex core wire and solid nickel/copper wrap prevent galvanic corrosion from the inside out, ensuring extended string life without tonal compromise.
The original nickel acoustic strings dating back to the 1930s, Martin Retro strings offer a uniquely mellow yet crisp sound that allows your guitar's natural tonewoods to shine. With Martin's sophisticated winding process controlling the coupling between core and wrap wire, these strings deliver maximum intonation accuracy and consistent performance. The custom light gauge excels on smaller-bodied acoustics, travel guitars, and fingerstyle applications, providing bright but not harsh tone with a robust character that's darker than phosphor bronze alternatives. This 3-pack bundle provides excellent value for regular players and backup sets.
