## Description

desertcart.com: Augustine Classic Red - Medium Tension : Everything Else

Review: Have used Augustine for years, they are very good strings - I bought these medium tensions for an old classical guitar, I probably should have purchased the high tension and will do so next. These are ideal for guitars with lighter tops if you want to reduce string tension and a tendency for the top to show some slight lifting. I think that for projection and power, the high tension strings are probably better but I'm happy with the tone these produce. Not overpowering but balanced and predictable. These strings seem to not vary from pack to pack and that's important to me. Placing them on a guitar made in the 1940's seemed obvious, though I think now the guitar could have handled their high tension strings as well. A long time standard for a lot of players.
Review: The best! - I've tried many different strings over the years and these are the best sounding and feeling by far imo. The other Augustine strings are very good too if you prefer a different tension. There may be better out there, but I've probably tried them if they were less than $30 a set and I keep running back to these.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have used Augustine for years, they are very good strings
*by B***H on January 4, 2014*

I bought these medium tensions for an old classical guitar, I probably should have purchased the high tension and will do so next. These are ideal for guitars with lighter tops if you want to reduce string tension and a tendency for the top to show some slight lifting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best!
*by T***J on April 15, 2022*

I've tried many different strings over the years and these are the best sounding and feeling by far imo. The other Augustine strings are very good too if you prefer a different tension.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Great tone but not highly durable
*by B***R on June 17, 2025*

This is a good string with good tone. However, i do think the quality and durability is poor compared to other competing brands with same prices. That's why i gave 3 stars. If you want to use this strings for a short amount of time, these are great strings for a classical guitar.
