Savarez 540R NT Alliance Trebles Classic Basses Accordion Accessory

These were recommended by my classical guitar instructor. He uses them on his own classical guitar and now I use them on mine. They sound great!

No other strings I've tried even come close to the excellence of these Savarez 540R strings. It's not merely a 20% or 30% improvement or whatever, but rather completely transforms the instrument from being mediocre to truly being musical, with so much more room for expression, dynamic range, subtle but distinct variation in tone, etc. If you don't care about dynamic range or tone control and are fine with all your notes sounding the same regardless of whether you play closer to the bridge vs the neck or with different finger attack angles, etc. then by all means use other strings; otherwise these are the hands-down winner, and nothing else comes close - except for maybe the high-tension version of these.Note that the other Savarez strings such as the 500* series are trash compared to these, so even if other strings such as those seem cheaper, you're missing out unless you go with these (or the high tension variant) IMO - but to each their own!

Great classical guitar strings with normal tension and Great sound.

The perfect strings for my La Patrie Concert! The trebles are brilliant and resonant, and the basses clear and full. Harmonics at the 7th and 12th fret ring like bells, and the first and second string notes beyond the 12th fret sing. And—very important—they are easy to fret and barré*.WARNING: the trebles are very slippery, and the standard knot at the bridge tie block slips. My first string did, and left a mark on the soundboard. The trebles should be tied at the bridge with a double loop followed by the customary knot as shown in the photo, and looped three times at the roller (twice for the thicker G string and a turn to ensure that the string winds over the loose tail). With this kind of tying, it's necessary to eyeball the extra string length at both ends because there isn't much surplus.The settling time is no longer than for the standard D'Addario EJ45. I leave it tuned slightly sharp before putting the guitar away, and that helps.[*For the Concert guitar, Savarez 500 CJ High Tensions choked the tone, and were very hard to fret even with adjustments to the truss rod and 3 mm clearance of the 6th string at the 12th fret.]

Nice set of strings that last.

These strings worked well for one my guitars which had a dark and lifeless tone as compared with other strings that work just fine several of my other guitars that play well with standard high tension strings or titaniums strings. They brightened the tone more than titaniums, and I intend to continue to use these strings for this particular guitar and will try another set of them with my flamenco guitar. They are thin and seem to have minimal length and are a bit tricky to string (though having much experience putting on strings) I succeeded after a while by making extra loops in the bridge end. They are quite playable (easier pull offs and hammer ons and easier barring) compared to high tension strings and I intend to use them again. I wish they would make them longer but otherwise enjoy playing on them, Also they appear to go out of tune more frequently than the thicker strings and take longer to break in. With these caveats I would recommend these strings if you if you want your guitar to sound brighter (though it will depend on your particular instrument as to how effective they will perform as compared to other choices.)

I purchased these strings after working through three sets of the industry standard D'Addario EJ45 Pro-Arte Normal Tension strings, so I will try to compare the two. I got the D'Addario initially because they are cheap, and most people like them. However, they were not making the sound I wanted on my guitar (a very cheap Lucida LG-520). The sound with the D'Addarios was hollow and dull - probably due to my guitar, but D'Addarios were not helping it any. Since I am not yet at the level to buy a $600 guitar, I decided to try these strings due to reviewers indicating an increased brightness.These strings really did make a difference for my cheap guitar.The trebles are clear nylon and seem a little bit thinner than D'Addarios. The tone is bright, clean and very clear. Even the G-string which normally sounds very dull has increased brightness and clarity. The bases also sound great. They sound brighter and more metallic than the D'Addarios.Overall, these are expensive strings, but for me they are worth it in terms of the sound they produce. If they last 3 months, I think it would be money well spent. After that, I will probably try the D'Addario EJ45C Pro-Arte Composite ($5 cheaper, and also great reviews).

These strings are pure Flamenco pefection to my ears. When it comes to strings for classical guitar, unlike steel strings, you usually always get what you pay for & since the subtleties of sound is that much greater- tastes always enter into the opinions far more in the Classical string debates- so remember this when someone disses these strings.These strings are worth every penny- period. Why? Because they last so long compared to your basic Nylon strings set and are just percussion brillant and bullet proof even when you are striking them constantly with a lightning attack.Although I find myself playing in Open G/Spanish/Hawaiian-slack tunings alot lately- these strings are still perfect for the job- they keep their bright responsive tone and do not turn to limp noodles in your hands like conventional nylon strings do after a little bit of playing- these guys seem to go on and on.........really. Although I am not a classical player, I have played my fair share and these satisfy all my requirements for classical strings with a little bit of edge to their attack.Definitely 5 stars for quality, durablity and most of all brillant sound.... A most worthy splurge to buy & try !
