Augustine's Legacy of Innovation Augustine's story began when its founder, Albert Augustine, successfully created the first nylon guitar string at the request of legendary Spanish classical guitarist, Andrés Segovia. As the inventor and producer of the gold standard in nylon strings, Augustine continues to push the sonic boundaries of the instrument.

The Augustine Classic The Augustine Classic set most closely resembles the original nylon guitar string devised by Albert Augustine in 1947 and trusted by the greatest classical guitar legends.

The Augustine Imperial The Crystal nylon Imperial series represents the evolution of Albert Augustine's original formula. The Imperial trebles offer the tonal benefits of Crystal nylon at a lower tension, ideal for players with a lighter touch.

The Augustine Regal The Augustine Regal sets also build upon Albert Augustine's original nylon formula. When paired with classic Augustine silver bass strings of medium or high tension, the high-tension Regal trebles are widely favored by concert artists.

The Augustine Paragon The Augustine Paragon carbon treble strings are the latest innovation in the company's legacy. Pair these medium or high-tension carbon strings with Augustine's legendary bass strings to achieve maximum tonal presence.
