The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Hand-crafted nylon trebles with Augustine's proprietary winding process; warm yet brilliant tonal palette; medium tension balances responsiveness with durability; consistent sustain across all registers; preferred by Augustine endorsers for studio and stage work.
Direct replacement for standard classical sets; compatible with all nylon-string guitars; no special setup required; consider purchasing full sets rather than individual strings to maintain tonal cohesion; medium tension suits most hand sizes and playing styles.
Augustine Regal Red strings bridge affordability and endorser-level quality. The medium tension provides tactile control while the treble clarity justifies the investment for players ready to move beyond entry-level sets.

IMPERIAL AND REGAL TREBLE SERIES
Because of their brilliant projection and clear, bell-like tone, Augustine Imperial and Regal Treble Strings are the preferred choice of nearly all of Augustine’s endorsing artists. With a clearer, slightly more rigid nylon formula referred to as “Cristal” these are considered by many to be the ultimate in nylon treble strings for the classical guitar. They boast perfect intonation, long life, excellent ability to hold tuning, and have unparalleled tonal quality. The Imperial string falls in the category of a “medium tension” treble, while the Regal string is a “high tension” string. Their material makeup is identical – they differ only in diameter. Tension is always a matter of a guitarist’s personal preference for feel and what responds best on their specific instrument. In general, a higher tension string will be louder, but this is not always the case – some instruments, especially older guitars, were designed to have less tension on the bridge, top, and bracing, and using a string that is too high in tension stresses these instruments to the point where there is a loss of volume and sustain. Additionally, all instruments have different inherent bass and treble response. Some guitars will achieve greatest balance with a high-tension treble and a medium-tension bass. It is for this reason that all Augustine treble strings, Classic, Imperial, and Regal can be matched with any Augustine Bass string.
