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.

"...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...." Read more

"...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...." Read more

"...Great sound, great playability and smooth touch. My favorite one!" Read more

Customers are satisfied with the performance of the musical instrument strings. They mention that they work fairly well, go very well with their Cordoba C5, and are great value for money. Some mention that the set works well with double tops.

"Great quality, good value. Easy to play." Read more

117 customers mention78 positive39 negative

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. However, others say that the strings do not last long, have a quality issue, and are virtually impossible to get through the holes near the bridge.

"...and less waste, but- not a deal breaker, since the strings themselves are my favorite...." Read more

"...These strings give it a nice, easy-listenable tone...." Read more

16 customers mention10 positive6 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the tuning of the musical instrument strings. Some mention that they have an excellent balance, stable tuning, and nice tone. However, others say that they wouldn't stay in tune and fell out of tune regularly.

"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

"...with the tone these produce. Not overpowering but balanced and predictable. These strings seem to not vary from pack to pack..." Read more

"Very nice sound. Super easy to tune up besides the first couple of times when the chords were still brand new...." Read more

12 customers mention6 positive6 negative

Customers are mixed about the softness of the musical instrument strings. Some mention that they have very light tension, while others say that they are too soft for medium tension.

"...The steel strings feel much better that is for sure. Less buzzing and grating feel when bending." Read more

"I love Augustine, but this set did not feel low tension at all." Read more

"Great sound and playability. The higher tension keeps the strings from buzzing these strings also haven't increased the action by much!..." Read more

"...It is like too soft or maybe the wires can get too stretched that they seem to have space between them. Mainly at the end" Read more

Sound, quality.
