Put Martin Retros on my Taylor 555 12
Yowza
I like Retros. Decided to order a set to try on my Taylor 555 12 string. Success. YMMV of course. |

I have a Breedlove Revival 000 12 fret that is going to get those, next string change. Glad to hear that you like them on the Taylor

I haven't tried the Retro's on a 12-string yet but did try D'Addario Nickel Bronze on my Guild F-412 for the 1st time just 2 weeks ago - outstanding on this guitar.

I have NB mediums on my HD 28 six string right now. I like them okay but seems to take a lot longer to play in than the retros do. That’s why I ordered the retros for the Taylor. I am working up some arrangements and recording some of my old songs I wrote a long time ago and wanted to use the 12 string but didn’t want to wait a week to record. Retros always sound ready to record right out of the pack to me.

I've been using the Retros on my Guild 12 string (all mahogany), and I love them.
I was put off the D'Addario NB's recently as I put some on one of my other guitars and noticed several tarnish spots on them, wrote D'Addario and they replied with send photos, I did and they said they'd send me new *G* & *E* strings. I replied with no thanks, I'll not be using them anymore.

What do you like about the sound of the Retros?

They sound “new” without sounding “shrill” and stay thay way for a very long time.
