The Original Nylon Guitar String - Made in New York since 1947.
Augustine Strings produced the world's first nylon guitar string, shaping guitar history and becoming the string of choice for the world's greatest concert artists. Today, Augustine provides a range of string combinations that will help every guitarist find their voice.
The First Choice of Incredible Artists

Augustine's History is Guitar History
Augustine Strings' legacy of innovation began over 75 years ago when our founder, Albert Augustine, successfully created the first nylon guitar string at the request of legendary Spanish classical guitarist, Andrés Segovia.
As the inventor and producer of the gold standard of nylon guitar strings, Augustine continues to advance the sonic possibilities of our instrument today with the introduction of the crystal nylon Imperial and Regal lines and the fluorocarbon Paragon sets - all strings of the highest quality, made in the USA, and designed to offer guitarists a full range of options to bring out the best sound and playability from their instrument.

I love the Augustine Red strings and have used them for decades, but I’ve ordered two sets twice and the first time received two BLUE. These items were exchanged and I received a BLUE and a GOLD. The UPC stickers indicate the Red, so the stickers are on the wrong packaging.

I was looking for some color treble strings set. The package and description say red, black and blue but they all are clear nylon strings. They're just name/model of the strings. Sounds as good as the D'Addario strings. Wish the description was more clear.

Simply the best strings that you can buy for nylon-string guitar. I will never use anything different. They've got Segovia's endorsement, so you know they're good.

C'est la deuxième fois que j'achète ce jeu de cordes pour une guitare Yamaha de travail. Elles sont de bonnes qualités pour un prix raisonnable.

I've tried many different strings over the years and these are the best sounding and feeling by far imo. The other Augustine strings are very good too if you prefer a different tension. There may be better out there, but I've probably tried them if they were less than $30 a set and I keep running back to these.

These strings really changed the tone of my somewhat inexpensive classical style acoustic guitar. After removing the stock strings and using these it was like I upgraded the instrument. They definitely take a couple days to stretch-in but after that the instrument stays in tune unless I have some big temperature variations in the room. I am happy with this purchase. However, when I replace these strings I will probably try some polished strings to try to eliminate any finger movement sounds.

I have been using these strings for a while and I kind of like the sound. The only downside is that the strings need some time to settle, about four to five days, comparing to Daddario, which need a day or two to be in tune. Also, the strings do not last long. If you are a professional player, the strings will last you for only one week, and, then they will be dead as you put the blanket over your guitar. I have seen some longer lasting strings that also need less time to settle when they are fresh. There are no perfect strings and perfect player. It is all the matter of preference.

I bought these medium tensions for an old classical guitar, I probably should have purchased the high tension and willdo so next. These are ideal for guitars with lighter tops if you want to reduce string tension and a tendency for the topto show some slight lifting. I think that for projection and power, the high tension strings are probably better but I'm happywith the tone these produce. Not overpowering but balanced and predictable. These strings seem to not vary from pack to packand that's important to me. Placing them on a guitar made in the 1940's seemed obvious, though I think now the guitar couldhave handled their high tension strings as well. A long time standard for a lot of players.
