Santa Cruz Parabolic Tension Acoustic Guitar Strings

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

Santa Cruz Parabolic Tension Strings are the result of over a decade of research and innovation, designed to deliver exceptional tone, perfect string balance, and long-lasting performance. Unlike traditional strings that rely solely on gauge, Santa Cruz strings are engineered with precision core-to-wrap ratios to achieve optimal tension on each string. The result is improved EQ across your entire instrument, enhancing the richness, sustain, and clarity of every note—whether you’re strumming, fingerpicking, or flatpicking.

Built with state-of-the-art metallurgy and micro-coating, these nickel- and lead-free strings resist corrosion while preserving tone and feel. Each set is precision-wound to tolerances of just half a thousandth of an inch, unlocking the true tonal potential of your guitar. Available in Low and Mid Tension options, they’re ideal for players seeking enhanced responsiveness, reduced finger fatigue, and studio-grade tone on everything from vintage Martins to boutique Santa Cruz guitars.
