It’s the time of year when we show Mom our love and appreciation for all she does. To help you in your quest for the perfect gift for the “guitar loving” Mom, we’ve put together a few items from Martin Guitar and Fender and then added some additional items. We hope you find just the right gift for Mom.
For Martin lovers, we’ve got some
great picks (no pun intended)!
Everyone can use guitar strings!
Martin Guitar’s acoustic strings are sure to please your Mom (maybe add some flowers, too, or put together a basket of Martin Guitar goodies!).
Retro Guitar Strings
$8.99
Martin Retros are the original Nickel acoustic string – the real deal – all the way from the 1930s. Retro strings offer a uniquely mellow, yet crisp, sound that allows your guitar’s natural tone woods to be heard, not overshadowed. They are crafted with Monel, a solid Nickel/Copper wrap wire – not nickel-plated – meaning there is no chance for defects in the plating to allow for corrosion. Instead, Martin’s proprietary wrap wire is naturally corrosion resistant and it is incredibly strong. We also employ a sophisticated winding process in the making of our Retro String that controls the coupling between the core and wrap wire to maximize intonation. Martin Retros are the real deal. Not an imitation. With Martin Retros, you get one tough set of strings that will last a long time and give you true, consistent tone that sounds like nothing else on the market.
Titanium Core Guitar Strings
$39.99
Martin Titanium Core strings deliver the ultimate player’s experience with patented technology only available from Martin. Experience a new level of comfort and response with industry leading stability and superior corrosion resistance. Titanium is more flexible than steel, providing a very comfortable playing experience while remaining strong and durable. Martin uses pure Nickel to wrap the Titanium strings. Pure Nickel is naturally corrosion resistant and holds its tone for a very long time. The pure Nickel and Titanium work together to provide the ultimate corrosion-free string.
Cool Stuff from Martin’s 1833 Shop
Martin’s 1833 Shop offers so many cool and interesting items, that Martin fans will find so many products to add to their wish list. Clothing, picks, books, hats, bumper stickers, glassware- so many fun items. We picked two that we thought would be great gifts.

The slim “C”-shaped neck profile is comfortable to hold and easy to play, while the no-tie bridge makes changing strings a breeze.
