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.

The tone and response on these strings are so far the best.However, on the first set I put on, the first string had intonation problems. I replaced the first string with an old Augustine Regal and I enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd strings.The second set I put on, I found these little hairs on the strings - there are parts of the strings totally not polished. I polished the worst string with 2000 grid sandpaper, then the intonation was off.The third set I put on, the first string snapped and broke during the wind up, and the 2nd 3rd, while they were polished properly, both had intonation problems.You really need to look into these problems. It will be a while until I try these strings again.

These strings intone well, sound good, and last a good amount of time. The set I have on my Cordoba GK pro Negra for a few months looks pretty beat up now but still plays in tune, and has a decent tone.They are hanging in there, despite of my 2-5 hour daily practice routine. I tried most the well known brand carbon strings and these are what I settled on. ( carbon trebles are all I play because of their superior intonation) These are relatively affordable to boot.
