Savarez 520R Red Card Classical Guitar Strings, Normal Tension
Trebles: Rectified nylon SAVAREZ trebles
Basses: Traditional wound SAVAREZ basses.
Savarez Traditional trebles are made of rectified nylon which is characterised by a distinctive unpolished finish. This grittiness contributes to a lessening of the high overtones. Because of their texture, the treble strings are unusually controllable with regard to vibrato and stability. The characteristics of their tone make their pitch particularly clear and true. The basses are on the warm and soft side, and their tone is strong overall.
NB. You may see a different tension marked on the physical pack. Here's a note from Savarez to tell us why:
"The 520 series dates back to the 1950s, when string tensions were generally higher than they are today. At the time, the tension classifications used for these sets were based on different standards and playing preferences.
For historical reasons, we have so far chosen to retain the original tension indications on the packaging rather than modify them.
However, please note that the tension classifications currently indicated on our website reflect the actual tensions of these strings according to today's standards. Therefore, the information on our website is the correct reference:
- 520R: Normal tension
- 520J: High tension
- 520B: Low tension"
