vintage orange box of Gibson Mona-Steel Hand Strings. The packaging highlights features like "Tone-Power-Durability" and "Non-Tarnishing", with an "Extra Wear!" claim stating they are "Scientifically Processed and will wear longer". These vintage strings date back to the 1930s-1940s, specifically the WWII era. The "Mona-Steel" refers to the composition of the strings, which is a variation of monel steel. Monel steel is typically 67% pure nickel, with the remaining composition being copper and iron. Gibson described these strings as having a distinct tone that falls between pure nickel wrap and nickel-plated steel. They were also known for lasting longer than both pure nickel and nickel-plated steel strings and causing less fret wear compared to nickel-plated steel strings. Some users found them particularly good for acoustic archtop guitars, bridging the gap between typical acoustic and electric strings with a unique midrange emphasis.
