Thanks Larry! These strings are nice. They have none of that new string edge to them at all.

Is that relatively accurate in person? I'm all about DADGAD and cedar/rosewood, so I'll stay tuned to your testing. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us, Dan

Thanks Dan. Yes the strings have a straightforward tone to them.

Nothing wrong with a bit of new string edge ;-)

Thanks Phil. I'm surprised that they sound this good. They don't sound like the regular Martin Monels at all to my ears.

Thanks Ray, I could use a pint myself,

Maybe I missed it, but what guitar are you playing in the demo?
