Description
Santa Cruz Strings are engineered to do what others cannot, to put the exact tension on each individual string to create the appropriate download pressure. These calculated tensions determine the optimal relative volume between strings, or EQ, for your instrument.
Santa Cruz Strings require precise core to wrap ratios and precision fit and finish for unprecedented tolerances of one half of one thousandths of an inch. This accurately determines the tension/volume of each string to the exact EQ that your guitar was designed for. State of the art metallurgy and micro-coating assures long life by preventing corrosive moisture from contacting the core of these nickel and lead free strings.
The Science of Perfect Tension
When it comes to guitar strings, it’s all about tension. While gauge is simply the measurement of the string’s diameter, the tension of a string determines its relative volume to the other strings (EQ). String tension is determined by its core to wrap ratio, which can vary greatly among manufacturers.
Santa Cruz Guitar Company has developed unique “Parabolic Tension” acoustic guitar strings that are engineered to create even tension across all strings for a more balanced tonal response. This innovative approach ensures that each string has the optimal tension for its pitch, resulting in superior projection, clarity, and tonal balance.
Even Tonal Balance
Santa Cruz’s unique parabolic tension design ensures each string has optimal tension for its pitch, resulting in balanced volume across all strings and improved tonal clarity.
Which Strings Should I Choose, Low or Mid Tension?
Low Tension
Designed for fingerstyle players and those who prefer easier playability. Low tension strings provide a comfortable feel while maintaining excellent tone and projection. SCGC finds that most players prefer the Low Tension Strings for smaller bodied guitars, OOO, OM, H and F Models.
Mid Tension
The perfect balance between playability and power. Mid tension strings offer increased volume and projection while remaining comfortable to play for extended periods. If you prefer to use the Mid Tension Strings on smaller bodied guitars, it is recommended that the guitar be set up to accommodate the added tension.
