The Augustine Imperial High pairs Imperial crystal nylon trebles with high tension Blue basses. Imperial trebles bring clarity, power, and sparkling highs, and the high tension basses add a formidable mid-range and strong projection. The set is bright and powerful without losing the warmth Augustine is known for, and it suits performers who need their guitar to carry in a room.
Augustine, founded in New York in 1947, made the first nylon classical guitar strings in collaboration with Andrés Segovia, and its color-coded sets have defined the traditional classical sound ever since. The Imperial Medium uses medium tension basses for a softer feel.
Bright. Powerful. Clear.
Crystal nylon Imperial trebles unite with high tension "Blue" basses to blend a formidable mid-range with sparkling highs, making this set an ideal choice for those seeking a balance of power and nuance produced by a lighter touch.
