Savarez Classical Traditional Special High Tension Red Card E, B & G Plastic Wound, 520P1star rating 5James PeaseAugust 4, 2011I've used Savarez 520P3 for decades and thought them unmatched (see review there) until I bought the P1s. Utterly amazing - the most powerful, sweet strings, full-bodied with equal temperament from bottom to top with a strong high end that makes others just sound and play wimpy. The upper wound strings may not be for everyone due to added lazy finger gliss sizzle, but these are strings that not only make you sound better, they make you play better. Simply the best I've played.

Savarez Classical Traditional Special High Tension Red Card E, B & G Plastic Wound, 520P1star rating 4PaulJune 30, 2010Plus: Consistant tone, no plastic string sound when new. Delightfully melodic on long runs of notes. Minus: sting noise, like the lower wounds, but they force you to improve the accuracy of your fingering to avoid it. Well worth a try. I may just end up keeping just the wound G.
Savarez Classical Traditional Special High Tension Red Card E, B & G Plastic Wound, 520P1star rating 5cbMarch 15, 2010While a bit different in feel, the 520P1's reward with volume and texture that are different but very interesting.
Savarez Classical Traditional Special High Tension Red Card E, B & G Plastic Wound, 520P1star rating 5JonOctober 11, 2009I found these strings by mistake when I ordered improperly. One of the finest "mistakes" I've made. The wound B,G & E strings give an extraordinary consistency eliminating the annoying change in sustain of the solid nylon strings. Try one set. You'll enjoy a whole new level of creativity and passion in your classic guitar. Nothing else matches them.
