Review: Tip Top Performance Guitar Strings - Kenny Hill in California designed my guitar and recommends these strings. If you cannot afford Kenny's high end guitars (costing thousands of dollars and owned by almost every big name music pro), then I recommend his line of Cordoba guitars. Look at the C7-CE cedar top, a very sensual guitar. This is a top of the line design (among many) executed with excellent manufacturing quality control delivering a quality guitar at a killer price point. Thank you, Kenny. You can buy it from desertcart: http://www.desertcart.com/Cordoba-Nylon-String-Acoustic-Electric-Guitar-Natural/dp/B003XJ0320/ref=sr_1_5?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1341080174&sr=1-5&keywords=cordoba+c7. If you are a beginner, keep in mind that many beginners start with an el-cheapo guitar which even a pro could not make it sound good. Don't discourage yourself. Look seriously at Kenny's Cordoba line of guitars. I got these strings from desertcart. I find them excellent. I tried some others but these beat them out. I love the resonant tone I get on the treble strings (possibly partly due to the normal tension) while still getting ringing bass (high tension in this set). It is a little weird that the tension level for the bass three strings is high while the tension for the treble three is medium. But it works really well. I still have not tried strings with the plastic web type coatings. They claim these last a lot longer because they keep finger dirt, grease, and sweat from getting into the strings which crud makes them go "dead" a lot sooner. When strings go dead they become nearly impossible to tune so they always sound out of tune. I read this has something to do with the way they vibrate, but this info is too complex to explain right now. Fresh strings are easy to tune but when brand new they are still stretching a lot so you got to keep tuning between songs. This affects the bass strings more than the trebles. But then, that is always one characteristic of nylon string guitars. Get yourself a good electronic tuner or use the one built in to your guitar if it has one to check tuning between each song. Tuning on stage is ok, your fans will appreciate your attention to detail and respect for their ears. So the appeal is longevity. This longevity issue mostly affects the bass three strings because they are wound which leaves a lot more room for junk to contaminate them. Longevity is quite appealing because longevity is a large problem for nylon strings. One thing you can do is only replace the bass strings because the treble strings deliver good tone and vibration twice as long. If you do this, try using high tension bass with your existing normal tension treble strings. I just placed some web plastic protected strings on one of my guitars. To start with, they do not play as well as these Savarez split-tension strings. It is the first time I ever used high tension trebles. But the bass strings sound great. We'll see about longevity. What if Savarez began using the plastic Web coating or what if the other companies started using split-tension string sets? Maybe I'll update this review later... godembryo Review: Awesome strings!! - I found these strings through Lucas Gitano on YouTube, and they're awesome!! I'm a self-taught beginner, and they make my cheap guitar sound much better than it really is. I've had the same set on for about 8 months now with no problems. I don't know if I should change them out after a certain amount of time, but, whatever... They're running strong, sounding great, so what's the point? Pick them up, you won't be disappointed! By the way, make sure they're going on a classical guitar. I'll admit it, I tried to put them on a steel string guitar when I first started, and it didn't end well, lol.
