Our classical guitar strings are among the most popular and most sought out strings by demanding professional concert guitarists, students, and those who play simply for pleasure
and love of the classical guitar. When it comes to sensitive classical
guitars, string selection is critically important in determining the
voice of the tonal qualities, and in matching the needs and preferences of individual players. Guitar strings are not all the same. Each set has its own unique set of characteristics that determine how the guitar will sound, how it will respond to the input of the player, and how well it satisfies the player. Classical strings have come a long way since the days of "gut" strings, and are now utilize nylon, carbon composites, and other technically advanced materials to extend the range of possibilities of the classical guitar. Read about them in our string descriptions, and decide for yourself which are the right strings for you and your classical guitar.
