The Savarez 500AR Corum Alliance (red card) is the normal tension set pairing Alliance KF composite (carbon) trebles with Corum basses. Alliance trebles are bright, focused, and very stable in tuning, with a thinner diameter than nylon; Corum basses, wound with rust-protected silver-plated metal over a multifilament Stabilon core, give a clear, balanced low end. Normal tension keeps the feel comfortable and suits most guitars.
Savarez has made strings in Lyon, France, since 1770 and pioneered the fluorocarbon treble with its Alliance line; its sets are color-coded by card: red for normal tension, blue for high, yellow for extra high. The 500AJ is the high tension version; the 500ARJ mixes normal trebles with high basses.
