Albert & Andres (Color)

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.

Augustine Imperial

Crystal nylon represents the evolution of Albert Augustine's original nylon formula. Imperial trebles offer the tonal benefits of Crystal nylon at a lower tension for players with a lighter touch.

Strings are described and half high tension and half medium tension, but are shipped as all high tension. I experienced this once before and knew of the issue before ordering again. Note to seller, when you fix the description, please dont stop selling the set with high tension basses and trebles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good sounding strings
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018
Size: One SetColor: Imperial High TensionVerified Purchase
I've been playing classical guitar for many decades but have only sparingly tried the Augustine classic sets. I've depended on Savarez strings for a while, apart from the ever reliable and cheaper D'Addario sets. I recently read up on the newer line up of Augustine strings and since I've always been a fan of mixed tension sets (high tension base and normal tension trebles), I decided to try the Imperial Blue set. First thing I noticed is that the diameter of the treble strings are quite bigger than the ones I'm used to, especially compared to carbon strings. I was afraid I would not be able to make these strings sing. However, it did not take me long to get accustomed to them. The strings indeed sing and are one of the best sounding strings I've played. I've had the set on my guitar for over a month now and I play guitar everyday, a lot of times, so I really give these strings a good workout. They have held on and I have not thought about changing them out for a new set just yet. For the price, which is cheaper than a Savarez set, and the sound, I decided to make these strings my primary set from hereon.

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2022

These are amazing strings! I compared them to Savarez 540R strings, which I had before these on my Cordoba C7 (cedar top), these AA strings have much clearer and better-defined basses which are balanced better with the trebles. However, the resonance and the projection aren't quite as good as the Savarez, but they're close enough. The Savarez 540R are also twice as much as these AA strings as well. Overall great strings will be buying again!

5.0 out of 5 stars I was 'AMAZED' at the Volume and Sound
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019
Size: One SetColor: Imperial Medium TensionVerified Purchase
I happen to own TWO outstanding guitars of TWO different genres. A Cordoba C7 Classical guitar, and probably my most favorite a Gibson J45 steel string. However, this review is dedicated to my Classical Cordoba C7 which I use to create my musical pieces because it's so easy on the finger to play. I have tried a variety of strings and took the journey to evaluate the difference in sound quality between the Di'Addarios Pro Arte E45TT's and the AUGUSTINE in both light and Medium tensions. 'THERE IS NO COMPARISON WHATSOEVER' which are by far the finer quality in sound strings. AUGUSTINE ARE far superior sounding strings with a comfortable feel your fingers WILL truly embrace in a perfect marriage. If you seek outstanding Classical guitar nylon strings choose AUGUSTINE. There's NOTHING finer.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Will Love, Really Love These Strings
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020
Size: One SetColor: Regal High TensionVerified Purchase
I really feel that I should write about these strings,
To begin they are endorsed by one of my Greatest Guitar Hero’s
( I hope that I spell his name right)
Andes Segovia , he challenged me to learn A portion of “ Malagueña “ where he played one portion with his thumb , and the “E” string with fingers 1 and 2 at the same time, the strings I purchased I cannot compliment more, they are high tension, but not “ Extra high tension” , I have 5 Classical Babies,
I put the strings on my 3 rd from the top Guitars, it is now my favorite.
Strings that are too soft, you tend to get lost, A harder but not to hard will let you do anything you want,
Best wishes,
Jim.

Ya he probado este juego anteriormente y es muy bueno, sin embargo este que pedí vino con un juego de agudos malísimo, el nylon tiene muchas imperfecciones y destruye las uñas a las pocas notas de tocar, espero que solo sea una unidad con desperfectos que se les fue en control de calidad, ya que es la única vez que me ha sucedido. Cabe destacar que los bajos si son excelentes y suenan a lo que estaba acostumbrado
