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.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the musical instrument strings. Some mention that they are great strings that give their acoustic guitar a nice, easy-listenable tone.

"Good mix, it could use a better G string. This is a mixed low tension for the lower strings and regular for the upper (GBE)...." Read more

"...The 1,2,3 won’t stay tuned for more than a few hours. The 3rd has a “muted” sound compared to the others...." Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars My string choice preference
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2019
Size: One SetColor: Classic BlackVerified Purchase
I wish they would attach tiny labels to each individual string, rather than place two strings in 3 paper envelopes. Easier, and less waste, but- not a deal breaker, since the strings themselves are my favorite. I'd been using D'Addario steel strings on steel stringed instruments (and continue to), so initially I used theirs for classical guitars as well. It's personal preference but these sound better to my ears. They make medium and high tension strings as well, and while using those might perk up the fidelity even more, I think that for myself and my approach, not having a bit of give via the tension would be be missed. The wound strings do seem to wear out just a bit faster than other makes, but most people change out strings more frequently than I do..I've always disliked the task! The only complaint I'd log is that these have taken a pretty steep price hike since my last purchase...which I hope is temporary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Augustine Black Low Tension Classical Guitar Strings
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021
Size: One SetColor: Classic BlackVerified Purchase
I have a traditional classical guitar and two different Godin Multiacs. I used to be a die hard D'Addario Pro-Arte Nylon Classical Guitar Strings, Light Tension (EJ43) fan. I had tried so many strings over the years and they had become my favorite until my bass player bought me a set of these. They are easier to play than the D'Addarios and sound far brighter and "seem" to last longer. They are a tad more money but for me well worth it. D'Addario EJ43s are good set of strings but these are definitely better. Hope this helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite strings so far
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2012
Verified Purchase
I have been trying a lot of different string brands lately and I think that I have settled on this brand and set as my personal favorite, but I haven't tried my Savarez 520's yet. I am using an Antonio Arapicio guitar and am very impressed with the tone quality, volume, and pitch sensitivity that the Augustine Blue labels give me. Volume is definitely stronger than my D'Addario composite strings. With regards to pitch sensitivity, I struggled to keep intonation stable as I went higher on the fretboard with the treble strings when using the D'Addario composite strings and the Augustine Golds. Now that I have tried the Augustine Blue Label I think I managed to find that perfect match for my favorite guitar and all of my intonation issues have gone away.

I only have two complaints about the product:

- The G string feels a little dead compared to the other strings (a common issue with nearly all strings in my opinion)
- The D string that was shipped with my second pack of Augustines was cut a way too short which created additional difficulty in stringing the guitar. There was literally nothing left to trim when I was done stringing the D string. My other Augustine Gold strings did not have this problem so I suspect this was a one-time issue.

All in all, I am enjoying these strings. Of course, just because they feel perfect for my guitar doesn't mean they are perfect for all guitars.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars fine strings for the right guitar
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2021
Size: One SetColor: Classic BlackVerified Purchase
I use these strings on my 1977 Ramirez 1A and get a very sweet sound. I don't over-humidify my guitar, so my Ramirez already has a crisp sound. These strings give it a nice, easy-listenable tone. If you keep your Ramirez highly humidified, you might prefer the La Bella 2001 set, or the incredibly crisp Savarez Cantiga strings. It takes a lot of time to find the right strings for the right player and the right guitar. The basses do have a bit of string noise (depending on how precise you are) so probably not a first choice for recording.

I have been a die-hard Ernie Ball user since childhood snd after doing some research, I purchased a set of these and it has been the best set of strings I have ever purchased. Completely satisfied all that I have been looking for in a Classical String. No buzz, good stretch over time, beautiful unmatched droth to the sound and they really brought out all the sound idiosyncrasies of my little guitar. Lifetime buyer.

3.0 out of 5 stars The most frustrating string changing experience of my life
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2021
Size: One SetColor: Classic RedVerified Purchase
Easily the most frustrating experience I’ve had in my 12 years of classical guitar and changing strings. Started on the low E string, and found it virtually impossible to get the string through the holes near the tuning pegs a second time. I spent 20 minutes trying to push it through. Literally ruining my RH nails and causing my left thumb to have blood seep from between the nails. I tried adding a very small amount of oil to the strings, cut and reattempted serveral times, even tried working with the gap on my headstock to make it accommodate these strings. Nothing worked. I’m sure many of you won’t experience this, and I’m glad for you. I felt it was my duty to share this horrible experience with the rest of you. My advice if this happens, give up before you hurt your hands.
