I use them on two different 12-strings, a Martin J12-15 and a Rainsong JM3000 - a natural complement to the all-hog Martin (as many threads here will attest), and they add warmth and a "woody" tone to the CF Rainsong...

I have them on my Pono parlor 12 string which happens to be a slot head.

So they are fantastic for two reasons, they sound great, so much better than the D'Addarios PB I was using and it's long time between string changes.

Yes Sir, Guild, all Mahogany, was night & day difference with these strings compared to others.
I’ll not be using anything but Retros on it, gives me the sound I want.
