Brilliance, Definition, and Dynamics for Classical Guitar
Designed to meet the demands of today's guitarists, the Paragon strings stand out with a "sparkling" tone and immediate presence under the fingers. The fluorocarbon trebles provide a precise, bright, and very clear upper register, particularly appreciated for melodic playing, arpeggios, and fast passages. Combined with the silver-plated wound basses from the Blue series, they offer an effective balance between clarity, power, and stability.
Since 1947, Augustine has established itself as a major reference in classical guitar strings, with a reputation built on harmonic richness and tonal variety. The brand's philosophy remains simple: every guitar reacts differently, and the best choice is made by ear. The Paragon strings are available in Red (medium tension) and Blue (high tension), and fit within a broader range allowing you to mix and match treble sets and bass sets according to your touch and instrument.
