The Savarez 510CRJ is a mixed tension New Cristal Cantiga set: normal tension New Cristal nylon trebles with high tension Cantiga basses. The trebles stay warm and easy to play while the basses gain extra drive and projection, a balance many players find ideal on guitars where a uniform high tension set feels too stiff on top.
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. For uniform tension, see the 510CR (normal) or 510CJ (high).
