Great strings!
Martin Retro strings have a look and sound that is truly vintage. Love these strings.

Ideales para archtop y resonadoras
Recién puestas suenan muy metálicas, pero al cabo de un tiempo suenan bien y siguen sonando bien mucho tiempo. Son perfectas para archtops acústicas y para resonadoras. En guitarras acústicas tipo flat top me suenan poco cálidas.

Corde G aigue qui a pété pendant l'installation !
Le G aiguë (0.23) a pété malgré toute ma prudence et précaution. Le pire, c'est que j'ai remplacé cette corde par une d'un jeu Martin authentic tirant 10 (MA-500) Et malgré toute ma précaution redoublée, elle a aussi pété ! Finalement, j'ai remplacé la fameuse corde par une de tirant 12 et ça va. Bref, mauvaise expérience malgré le son magnifique des cordes !

Wonderful tone.
You don't buy these strings for long lasting brightness and durability - go to Elixir if you want invincible strings. You buy these for the tone. And these are the best sounding strings I've played. At first they're nice and bright and rich, then they age like fine wine! The more you play them, the better they sound. They get to a nice woody, vintage tone after about a month of playing. Definitely the best strings I've used, and after trying Gibson's, D'Addarios, Elixirs, I think I'll only ever use these from here on out. The only drawback was a string snapping when tuning down after about a month and a half of playing them, but I can easily look past it for the tone these bring.

Nice tone
I put a set of these on a 50 year old 12 string I had not used in a long time. These strings brought new life back into and old guitar that I was about to get rid of. Look forward to more years of use.
