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 Strings boasts the most diverse and talented roster of endorsing artists and luthiers. These are the players who define the art of the guitar. 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 Classic Augustine Classic sets most closely resemble the original nylon guitar string devised by Albert Augustine in 1947 and trusted by the greatest legends of the classical guitar. 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. Augustine Regal Augustine Regal sets represent the evolution of Albert Augustine's original nylon formula. When paired with classic Augustine silver bass strings of medium or high tension, sets featuring high tension Regal trebles are widely favored by concert artists. Augustine Paragon Augustine Paragon carbon treble strings are the latest in Augustine's legacy of innovation. Pair medium or high tension carbon strings with Augustine's legendary basses to achieve maximum tonal presence. Review: Excellent choice - Segovia played them. They sound great! Review: Great strings - These are awesome strings that go very well with my Cordoba C5. They have a really soft and beautiful tone to them. I just replaced my strings with these ones and as soon as I got them in tune and started playing, I fell in love with them. The trebles are sweet and clear as well as the bass strings. I will definitely buy more sets of these but I also want to try other sets. Keep in mind that these Augustine strings or other strings will not match up with every guitar out there. You just have to find the right set that's compatible with your guitar. ## Features - Legendary tone, ease of play, and full tone makes Classic Blue a signature set in the Augustine lineup. - One set of classical guitar strings - Normal tension nylon trebles - High tension silver basses - Produced in New York by the manufacturer of the original nylon guitar string ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0051MQUXS | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,683 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #17 in Classical Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Nylon | | Brand | Augustine | | Brand Name | Augustine | | Coating Description | nicht beschichtet | | Color | Classic Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,713 Reviews | | Finish Type | Silver Plated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00639690002027 | | Instrument | Classical Guitar | | Item Type Name | Classical Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 1 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Augustine | | Manufacturer Part Number | AUGBLUSET | | Material Type | Nylon | | Model Name | Strings Classic Blue High Tension | | Model Number | 525A | | Recommended Uses For Product | Playing classical guitar | | Set Name | One Set | | String Gauge | High Tension | | String Material Type | Nylon | | UPC | 639690000313 795871167616 639690000733 639690002027 799198338339 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | None. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Augustine - **String Gauge:** High Tension - **Color:** Classic Blue - **Instrument:** Classical Guitar - **String Material Type:** Classic Nylon ## Images ![Augustine Classic Blue Nylon Guitar Strings - High Tension - 1 Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SP6h407GL.jpg) ![Augustine Classic Blue Nylon Guitar Strings - High Tension - 1 Set - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81odaAt93+L.jpg) ![Augustine Classic Blue Nylon Guitar Strings - High Tension - 1 Set - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZxVCryquL.jpg) ![Augustine Classic Blue Nylon Guitar Strings - High Tension - 1 Set - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71H81jqwtsL.jpg) ![Augustine Classic Blue Nylon Guitar Strings - High Tension - 1 Set - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pckwEzW-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these nylon strings? Why does it say gut?** A: Historically, the strings were made from animal gut.http://en DOT wikipedia DOT org/wiki/Classical_guitar_stringsSee the Wikipedia entry on classical guitar strings.So that's the "classic" description.The "GUT" strings have been made from nylon for a long time. **Q: Why are these clear and not black as advertised? I specifically wanted black trebles but received clear instead.** A: This is just Augustine's nomenclature and refers to low tension string. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with the color of the strings. If you want black colored strings, then try Ernie Ball black classical guitar strings. **Q: Do the base string sound louder than the nylon strings? I bought a set and the base strings are significantly louder. Was this a bad set I got?** A: The bass strings on a classical should be real boomers. So yes. **Q: Does it have a ball end** A: These are Nylon Classical Guitar Strings and as such, no they do not have a ball end. Strings that do will say so right on the package. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent choice *by D***. on January 24, 2026* Segovia played them. They sound great! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strings *by R***A on June 5, 2014* These are awesome strings that go very well with my Cordoba C5. They have a really soft and beautiful tone to them. I just replaced my strings with these ones and as soon as I got them in tune and started playing, I fell in love with them. The trebles are sweet and clear as well as the bass strings. I will definitely buy more sets of these but I also want to try other sets. Keep in mind that these Augustine strings or other strings will not match up with every guitar out there. You just have to find the right set that's compatible with your guitar. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite strings so far *by H***5 on May 4, 2012* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Augustine Classic Blue Nylon Guitar Strings - High Tension - 1 Set - D'Addario EJ45 Pro-Arte Nylon Classical Guitar Strings, Normal Tension – Nylon Core Basses, Laser Selected Trebles - Offers Balance of Volume and Comfortable Resistance – 1 Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1880615-augustine-classic-blue-nylon-guitar-strings-high-tension-1-set](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1880615-augustine-classic-blue-nylon-guitar-strings-high-tension-1-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
