Strings
SAVAREZ Savarez has been making strings for as long as strings have been made, first in Italy and for the last century in France.The world's leader in string development, Savarez Alliance series offers excellent Kevlar rectified, thinly extruded trebles which increase the clarity and brilliance of any guitar and full, round basses. French guitar genius Roland Dyens, among many other artists, used these strings faithfully. There are also mixed tension sets available to enhance the response of your guitar. Bernard Maillot, the head of Savarez, assures us that the old traditional 520R strings are still the best sellers worldwide, but frankly we must add, not here. The new developments are just too good. We carry the entire range of Savarez because they are our favorites.
