Mojo City Archive Series: The Lost Monel (1973 to 1974)

A Time Capsule for Your Fretboard

In the world of vintage tone, there is "vintage-spec," and then there is period-correct reality. As part of our Archive Series, Mojo City Guitars is proud to introduce a discovery decades in the making: the Lost Monel Strings.

These are not modern recreations or "retro-flavored" alloys. Instead, these strings are crafted from a rare, uncirculated cache of genuine Monel wire manufactured in 1973 and 1974.

The Unrepeatable Formula

The metallurgical landscape of the early 1970s was vastly different from today. Due to modern sourcing restrictions and changes in raw material processing, the specific chemical composition and purity found in this 50-year-old wire cannot be replicated.

• Purity of Source: Modern raw materials are subject to different smelting processes and environmental regulations. While necessary today, these factors have irrevocably altered the harmonic resonance of the alloy.

• The "Lost" Factor: This wire represents a specific window in American industrial history; it is a formula that provides a woody, fundamental-rich warmth that modern Monel simply cannot meet.

The Collaboration: Mojo City Guitars x La Bella

To bring this "lost" alloy back to life, we partnered with the legendary La Bella Strings. Wound right here in New York City, these strings combine the world-class craftsmanship of a heritage manufacturer with the rarest string material on the market.

Specifications & Performance

• Origin: 100% American Made (NYC).

• Material: Authentic 1973/1974 Uncirculated Monel Wire.

• Tone Profile: Exceptionally balanced with a reduced "break-in" time. Expect deep, earthy lows and a clear, dry high-end that allows the natural voice of your instrument to take center stage.

• Durability: Naturally corrosion-resistant, staying "sweet" far longer than standard bronze alloys.

The Mojo City Archive Series is about more than just strings; it is about restoring the sonic DNA of the golden era. Once this limited supply of 1973/74 wire is gone, it is gone forever.

Each set is sealed in tarnish-proof packaging, keeping the silver plating brilliant and the tone factory-fresh until you're ready to play.
