The high strings are nylon tape wound on a steel rope core, while the low strings are made of silver-plated bell bronze round wire on a nylon core, creating a balanced, nuanced soundscape. With six strings in light gauge (.016 .024 .025 .030 .035 .043) and a total tension of 38.7kp / 14.00lbs / 6.40kg, the playing comfort is similar to that of a classical concert guitar set. All strings are equipped with ball ends and combine European manufacturing quality, durability, and excellent response for a professional musical experience. Review: Love these strings - Not sure why there are any bad reviews on these strings, they are really great. The tension is less than with steel strings, but that is why they exist I think. They are super easy to fret and sound great, I've had no issues on my guitars. Used on a full sized acoustic tuned E to E and a tiny Ibanez Piccolo tuned A to A - both have resulted in immediate improvement with playing comfort and in my opinion they sound better too. There is no loss of volume and they sound as bright as the D'addario's I had on before them. Playing bends and vibrato is so much better and sounds much better too. I'd say the main thing is if you've experienced problems with your hands having a tough time with hard feeling steel strings then these are the answer. They are soft and gentle with no loss of sound volume or quality. They have made a huge positive difference for me.

The treble strings have a slight texture and are grippy so you can ditch the long finger nails at last. The sound is fantastic. I use on my ibanez hybrid classical. I wish they were a bit cheaper though. Very prompt delivery. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/118198980-thomastik-infeld-classical-guitar-strings-pj116-6-string-set-john](https://www.desertcart.us/products/118198980-thomastik-infeld-classical-guitar-strings-pj116-6-string-set-john) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
