Tanglewood Guitars, renowned for their commitment to craftsmanship and musical excellence, have partnered with one of the world’s leading string manufacturers to create a string range designed to meet the needs of today’s classical guitarists. The Classical Nylon set has been meticulously road-tested over many years to ensure it provides both comfort and versatility, making it suitable for players of every style—from beginners discovering their first études to seasoned performers exploring advanced repertoire. At the heart of Tanglewood’s string philosophy lies the same vision that drives a master luthier: every detail contributes to an instrument’s voice, feel, and longevity. These nylon strings are carefully processed from high-grade, fine nylon, selected for its clarity of tone and reliable performance. Each string is engineered to deliver a warm, expressive sound with rich sustain, offering the traditional tonal character classical players demand. Durability is equally important, which is why Tanglewood Classical Nylon Strings are crafted to provide a long performance lifespan. Their design helps resist premature wear, maintaining tonal consistency and stability over extended playing periods. This makes them ideal not only for practice and daily performance but also for concert settings, where reliability is essential. Balanced tension across the set ensures smooth playability and even response, whether executing delicate fingerstyle passages or projecting bold, resonant chords. The result is a set of strings that supports expressive dynamics, precise articulation, and rich tonal colour, giving players the confidence to explore the full range of their instrument. With the Classical Nylon set, Tanglewood brings its tradition of innovation and quality to the world of nylon strings—delivering warmth, balance, and durability for every guitarist who values both comfort and professional-grade performance.

Tanglewood Guitars, renowned for their craftsmanship and innovation, have partnered with one of the world’s largest and most respected string manufacturers to create a dedicated range of acoustic guitar strings. The Custom Light .11 – .52 set has been carefully designed and road-tested over many years, ensuring a perfect balance of comfort, tone, and durability for players of all styles. Whether you’re a fingerstyle player seeking clarity or a strummer wanting warmth and resonance, these strings deliver a versatile response suitable for any performance setting. At the heart of Tanglewood Strings lies the same passion and attention to detail that a skilled luthier brings to the instrument itself. Each string is crafted from carefully selected fine metals and premium alloys, then treated with Tanglewood’s exclusive Fibreflex™ Polymer Coating. This advanced coating not only enhances tonal character but also provides vital protection against rust and corrosion, significantly extending the lifespan of the strings. The result is a set that maintains brilliance, playability, and tuning stability for far longer than standard strings. The Custom Light gauge is thoughtfully balanced to provide a smooth playing experience. The slightly lighter treble strings allow for easy bends and articulate lead lines, while the heavier wound bass strings deliver fullness and depth, making them ideal for rhythm playing. The gauges are as follows: * E – 1st: .052 * A – 2nd: .042 * D – 3rd: .032 * G – 4th: .022 * B – 5th: .015 * E – 6th: .011 By combining comfort with professional-grade performance, Tanglewood’s Custom Light strings embody the brand’s philosophy of delivering reliability and rich tonal character at every level. Designed for the modern acoustic guitarist, they are a dependable choice for studio sessions, stage performances, or everyday practice.
