The Augustine Classic Blue pairs normal tension Classic nylon trebles with high tension silver-plated basses. The nylon trebles are the original Augustine formula, warm and forgiving with the traditional classical voice, and the firmer Blue basses add drive, projection, and definition to the low register. The combination gives an easy-playing top end over a powerful bass, which is why Classic Blue has been a signature set for decades.
Augustine, founded in New York in 1947, made the first nylon classical guitar strings in collaboration with Andrés Segovia, and its color-coded sets have defined the traditional classical sound ever since. The Classic Red uses medium tension basses for a softer feel overall.
