@Joemama those are Martin Retro Monel strings, 11-52 (custom light) gauge. I’ve been using them on all my acoustics for a couple years now since I really like the way they sound on my mahogany guitars, they’re relatively cheap at 9-10 bucks a package, and they last a good long time. They also feel softer to me than phosphor bronze.
If I had to pick something to not like about them, it would be that they squeak a lot on position changes. That’s probably more about shortcomings in my technique than the strings themselves, but other strings I’ve played have been more forgiving in that area. Balancing all the other factors, though, I’m happy with the compromise.
