Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Light 12-54 version of Martin Retro strings brings the same Monel wrap wire and nickel/copper alloy construction to a heavier gauge than the Custom Light set. Its naturally corrosion-resistant wrap and reduced pick attack are intended to keep the guitar’s tonewoods in clearer focus. The strings also suit plugged-in acoustic-electric use, and the package gives you three matched Light-gauge sets for ongoing replacements.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Acoustic-electric players wanting Light 12-54 Monel strings for plugged-in use.
- Players who want reduced pick attack so their guitar’s tonewoods remain more apparent.
- Keeping three Light 12-54 Monel sets ready for acoustic string changes.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for an acoustic-string gauge other than Light 12-54.
