29. Aug. 2023 · After many years endorsing strings from other manufacturers, Tony Rice now has a signature set from Martin. He has long favored strings made with monel, a nickel-based alloy, rather than steel. In fact he used Martin’s monel strings as a younger artist, until they were discontinued more than 30 years ago.
The MTR13 Retro acoustic guitar strings represent yet another quality, vintage-inspired set of strings in Martin’s Retro line. Encouraged by legendary bluegrass player Tony Rice, Martin was inspired to bring back the tone of 1930s strings, when nickel ruled the acoustic world.

Tony Rice is a household name among fans of acoustic music. If you are an acoustic guitarist, it is hard to escape Tony’s monumental influence as a guitarist whether you realize it or not. His contributions extend far beyond his home in bluegrass music. Born in 1951 in Danville, Virginia, his father Herb Rice soon moved the family to California. It...
Tony didn’t just limit himself to only traditional bluegrass tunes. He was also heavily inspired byjazz manouche and rock music. His project, The Tony Rice Unit, demonstrates the iconic jazz manouche influence wholeheartedly. It was in the 1970’s that Tony moved to Kentucky and helped form one of the most influential bluegrass bands of the century:...
Tony Rice employed his rare 1935 Martin D-28 serial number 58597 (once owned by his hero and friend, Clarence White) as his main instrument. This guitar was Martin’s first full year of production for the dreadnought body style. These early models were slow to sell at first, therefore making their production very limited and valuable. The tone is al...
I was fortunate enough to meet Tony several times back in the early 2000’s at several local festivals and venues here in Southwestern Virginia. During these encounters, I also got to see the master at work – up close and personal. I somehow lucked up and got right in front of the stage. I was then able to see Tony’s unique style of playing. Althoug...
The legacy that Tony Rice left behind is simple: he helped make the acoustic guitar a lead instrument instead of a rhythm-only instrument. This was built upon the foundation forged by Doc Watson and Clarence White. To this writer, one of Tony Rice’s greatest contributions to the world of acoustic guitar extends beyond the instrument itself. It has ...
Tony Rice was more than a guitar player – he was an innovative musician that helped flattop acoustic guitar players strive to be better. His influence is impossible to miss when listening to modern bluegrass music and stretches out into many other genres as well. I feel very fortunate to have met him when I was at my most impressionable age as a gu...
It was in 1960 when a 9-year-old bluegrass performer named Tony Rice – a recent transplant to Southern California and a guitarist in a family band, just like Clarence White – spotted the guitar backstage at a music show that was being broadcast over a local radio station.
Legendary Bluegrass artist, Tony Rice, played Martin Monel strings religiously on Clarence White's 1935 D28 until they became unavailable in the 1970's and he has been missing them ever since.
