Low Tension Classical Guitar Strings with Historical Character

For guitarists seeking an authentic vintage sound, the Aquila 55C - Ambra 900 Series, Classical Guitar / Historical Guitar String Set - Low Tension delivers the distinct tonal character of early gut and silk string sets. This low tension set is crafted to replicate the acoustic properties of historical guitar strings, making it ideal for period instruments or anyone drawn to the subtle warmth and response of the past. Using innovative synthetic materials, the Aquila 55C set faithfully recreates the rich, fundamental-focused tones prized by classical players for over a century.

Unique Construction for Vintage-Inspired Tone

What distinguishes this model is the combination of gut-colored Supernylgut® trebles with a rectified surface and basses wound with silver-plated copper over a special multifilament Rayon core. Engineered for the balance and feel of original gut and silk-wound strings, it captures a sound with less brightness and shorter sustain than modern nylon sets—perfect for historically informed performance.
