User questions & answers

Question:	Are the strings Red
Answer:	the main body of the strings are not red
Question:	If I buy the whole set of strings, can I buy individual strings such as the 4th, 5th and 6th
Answer:	I don't think so. But, it's always better to change all the strings at once anyway. I've been playing for over 50 years. I wouldn't dream of changing an individual string, or 1,2,3 or 4,5,6 partial sets. On a classical guitar, the string almost always breaks at the bridge. If you wind the excess into the string winders, you'll have enough length to re-tie a broken string. So, don't cut classical strings. Instead, wind the entire string and you'll have the extra length when you need it.
Question:	how do you compare the tension with daddario or other brand...how much the tension is in lbs or kg
Answer:	Classic treble nylon guitar strings with Augustine Red bass strings wound with a slightly lighter gauge of copper than Blue.Hard tension. 29-33-41-30-37-45 Check this sitehttp://www.daddario.com/Resources/JDCDAD/images/tension_chart.pdfIt should give you a idea of relative tension produced by different string sets.
Question:	Do the strings come with the ball ends
Answer:	No, they do not. I've tried most of the Augustine line and their classical nylon strings don't have balls. Perhaps you're looking for acoustic guitar strings?

User questions & answers

Question:	trebles sound like a toy ukulele from Walmart (and soft too) I still need to retune every 10 minutes. Will the string settle down to a solid tone
Answer:	What did former strings sound like? These strings will not make a guitar better than it normally is. When installing strings, each string needs to be stretched :in segments(3-4)each string. If you don’t stretch them, you will have to play hard,tune then repeat several times a day for a week or two before they stabilize. The best way is to stretch them in as you install them. You may want to go UTube and look for installing nylon strings on a classical guitar.
Question:	what are rectified strings
Answer:	the strings are actually ground in a special grinding process to a ridiculously consistent uniform controlled diameter, they are also not glossy because of this, they are warm sounding, not too bright, excellent for classical guitar music playing :http://acousticguitartips.wikispot.org/Classical_guitars%27_strings :http://www.classicalguitarbuilder.com/march_news/October_Newsletter.html
Question:	Are these tie-end or ball-end
Answer:	These are tie-end.
Question:	Would you recommend these strings for a beginner
Answer:	Absolutely. These strings are easy to install, stretch quickly, and hold tune/tension well. They also sound very nice, considering their reasonable cost. If you've never restrung a guitar, be sure to check out YouTube. Procedures for classical, folk, and electric vary quite a bit.

• For electric guitar

User questions & answers

Question:	Which of the classic pure nickel slinky sets have unwound g (3rd) strings
Answer:	All of the Ernie Ball Pure Nickel Slinky sets currently available have unwound 3rd strings. This particular brand denotes "w" next to the 3rd string gauge number to denote a wound 3rd. Notice no "w"s are present on any of the packages here, so no sets contain a wound 3rd.
Question:	Are these strings round or hex core
Answer:	From the Ernie Ball website (do a search for 2253) they say this: "Made from pure nickel wire wrapped around tin plated hex shaped steel core wire, these guitar strings produce a warm rich tone with that signature Slinky feel. Gauges .009, .011, .016, .024w, .032, .042 " so according to Ernie Ball they are HEX CORE.
Question:	What’s the difference between hybrid and regular strings
Answer:	The difference is the string gauges. The 9-11-16-26-36-46 is considered a "hybrid gauge" set. It has the 9-11-16 of their "super" slinky sets and the 26-36-46 of their "regular" sets. So it's a hybrid of the 9s and 10s. Hope that helps!
Question:	Why do these strings turn my fingers black ? Anybody else had this problem
Answer:	They don't turn my fingers black, but they do taste like licoric
