Recommend me some decent classical strings...

distressed_romeo · 05-31-2007, 06:22 PM

It's getting to the point where I'm going to have to change the strings on my classical guitar. I've got a spare set put aside, but they look fairly cheap (they came with the guitar). What's a decent quality set? I'm tempted to go for Elixirs, as I use and love them on my steel-string acoustic. Any recommendations?

D'Addario makes a decent and inexpensive classical guitar string. Savarez and Hannabach are two companies that make good strings however they are quite a bit more expensive. Different strings sound good on different guitars the only advice that I can give is to buy a couple of different packs of strings and over time see what you like best. Same goes for string tension.

Hmmmm...the pack that came with my guitar are Hannabachs. According to the label they weren't that expensive (purchased in Belgium). I'll give 'em a go!
