Year 2014 Instrument type Classical Builder / Manufacturer Dammann Instrument Model Doubletop Top wood Cedar Side wood Rosewood Back wood Rosewood Player David Russell StringsComment
First, I like that D?Addario does so many good things for music. Then, I like the silky sound of the trebles and the basses feel just right for me. And I find the lower normal tension strings allow the guitar to have great balance. -

Augustine Imperial Red MT Classical Guitar Strings, Full Set 00201 Model: Imperial_Red Price: $12.99I use Imperial Reds on my guitar because I love the sweet singing tone they create. One thing I have noticed about the Imperial trebles is that they allow for a very light vibrato, which is so important for keeping a relaxed left hand while creating a beautiful melody. My guitar responds very well the the Imperial Reds, as it is a loud, warm guitar and the strings match the character of the sound perfectly. -
Year 2017 Instrument type Classical Builder / Manufacturer David J. Pace Instrument Model Nomex Double Top Top wood Spruce Side wood Rosewood Back wood Rosewood Player Phil Goldenberg StringsComment
I've always preferred medium tension strings to allow for a softer, more subtle touch in the right hand, and the Paragon trebles allow me to have that soft touch without sacrificing volume. I prefer the Paragon trebles over all other carbon? trebles because they have the volume, clarity, and upper harmonic response you would expect from carbon strings, however they also have a distinct voice and color that makes them very unique. I have a naturally very very warm sound, and I am always looking for ways to make my sound brighter and more lively. Both the guitar and strings I use are on the brighter side to help achieve that sound. -

I prefer the quality of the denser material for the 2nd and 3rd strings, but find carbon fiber very unpleasant sounding for the 1st string. So for the 1st string, I am using mainly standard nylon. -
