Savarez 510MJ New Cristal/Alliance/Cantiga Hard Tension, Full Set

Great strings,

I have had the Savarez Cantiga 510 MI High Tension strings on for about 10 days and really like them on my Cordoba F7 Paco Cedar Top. They needed about 2-3 days to warm up/ break in and are now very silky smooth on my fingers. Great tonal variations. The intonation is perfect on all strings. To me they don’t feel like a traditional hard tension string at 91.39lbs. They remind me of DÁddarío EJ45C when they are broken in. I think I’m going to keep using these for a bit. I hope they hold up to our door humidity and heat. The service at SBM is the best and they get the strings to you quick and handle special requests.

Good balans ! Thanks.

Very nice strings

I'm very pleased with these strings. The Cantiga basses have a strong consistent tone and are well balanced with the trebles.. They are more on the flexible side of the spectrum as opposed to stiff. The Alliance G string makes a good transition since it is a carbon fiber string it doesn't sound 'tubby', and the Cristal B and E strings are very clear and sweet. One of the most notable qualities of these strings is that the intonation is rock solid. The lifetime on these strings is also excellent. I first tried these on one of my guitars which was in heavy use for two months and I was amazed that these strings held up with great tone and the basses were very corrosion and tarnish resistant. I only changed them out to try the same set in normal tension. What I found from that was: these hard tension strings are the right tension for the action I have on the test guitar.
