A Few Words From Our Guitar Playing Customers

  • I have tried loads of well regarded brands over the years and the Santa Cruz strings kick them into the weeds. My guitar is better in tune over the fretboard, and the tone has gained warmth and definition. I don't think I will be using anything else from now on.

    Customer: C F

    Customer: P S

    Customer: R C

  • Thanks for the heads-up on the order. My acoustic guitars have Come Alive with these Santa Cruz strings - they are simply brilliant!

    Customer: T L

  • These Santa Cruz DADGAD strings are superb. They provide a very well balanced but lively sound with clear rounded bass notes and bright tops. They feel great under the fingers, being both flexible without going out of tune when using a capo. Best of all - they last extremely well.

    Customer: D R

  • If you have not tried these Santa Cruz strings, I think you should! The sound of fresh strings of any make sound good for a while, but their clever use of core v winding ratios keeps the sound as well as any I've tried over 45 years - also the way they minimise tension over gauge is extraordinary.

    Customer: R O
