Part of Guitar History

Continuously operating in New York for over 70 years, Augustine Strings is a legacy brand producing some of the finest guitar strings in the world. A pioneer in the industry, Augustine was the first ever manufacturer of nylon guitar strings, establishing a timeless foothold in the classical guitar market.

Albert Augustine developed his original strings with the guidance of Andrés Segovia, the “godfather” of classical guitar. By using nylon to standardize strings that had previously been made of animal gut, their final product changed the world and defined the sound of the guitar in the 20th century.

Since then Augustine has continued to raise the bar and bring consistently superior guitar strings to market. The company now boasts a full line of strings for classical, acoustic, and electric guitars that are American-made, competitively priced, and comprised of the finest materials to satisfy the tonal and tactile needs of every player from beginner to pro. Augustine Strings is run by musicians and the strings are produced and packed by line workers whose quality control is second to none thanks to the reciprocal loyalty between company and employees.

With the attention to quality that is often associated with smaller businesses, Augustine Strings represents the crossroads of boutique excellence and worldwide familiarity, ensuring its role in the future of the guitar will be just as significant as its past.
