Horrible intonation
TCSMD 23.10.2021
Ok, so I wasn't aware of the fact that the Augustine "Classic" strings are infamous for their poor intonation and that they've been like this for decades. I guess the questions is this: Why do they keep manufacturing this junk?

I should have done a search online before buying. That's what happens when I decide to try new strings on a whim. The G-string in particular is so poorly intonated that it is practically useless.

Maybe these strings would be fine if I made a compensated saddle but why bother when many other classical guitar strings work fine with a standard, un-compensated saddle (apart from the ENTIRE saddle being compensated by it's placement of course).

Do not buy these strings unless you want your G-string to be out of tune at pretty much every position except open G.

Great for everyday use!

I needed some new strings for my concert guitar. The ones I had on it were more than a year old and sounded dull and lifeless.
The Augustine Concert Red strings have a great gauge for standard tuning. They sound very lively and really show the sonic nature of your instrument. With these strings my guitar sounds like I remember it when I made some recordings with it: bright and articulate.

Good strings
ZenStarry 29.01.2014
In this price range, it is hard to get a better string then Augustine, They produce a good sound and are well made. Not as good as Hannabach, in my opinion but Hannabach are double the price. If you want a set of strings that are cheap and top quality these are sure to impress you. Thomann sell these 25% cheaper then anywhere else.
