SCGC MID TEN
Santa Cruz Strings are engineered to do what others cannot, to put the exact tension on each individual string to create the appropriate download pressure. These calculated tensions determine the optimal relative volume between strings, or EQ, for your instrument. Santa Cruz Strings require precise core to wrap ratios and precision fit and finish for unprecedented tolerances of one half of one thousandths of an inch. This accurately determines the tension/volume of each string to the exact EQ that your guitar was designed for. State of the art metallurgy and micro-coating assures long life by preventing corrosive moisture from contacting the core of these nickel and lead free strings.
This project has been a decade in the making; commercially available strings were never able to truly complement the complexity of overtones and sustain that SCGC achieves by individually tap tuning and hand voicing each guitar. SCGC therefore sought out the wisdom of their friends and colleagues within the audiological sciences to collaborate on a new design that will fully drive Santa Cruz Guitar Company’s complex acoustic tone.
When it comes to strings, it’s all about tension. While gauge is simply the measurement of the string’s diameter, the tension of a string determines its relative volume to the other strings (EQ). String tension is determined by its core to wrap ratio, which can vary greatly among manufacturers. This can create multi-pound differences between brands and an illogical EQ within any given set.

I was a bit sceptical at first - you know marketing hype. I bought two sets and strung my Collings OM2H acoustic guitar. They seem easier under the finger and sound great. They don't last quite as long as the Elixers I have used for years - but then they don't fray either. I play every day (fingerstyle) and the first Santa Cruz strings lasted three weeks (I live in Brisbane and it gets quite humid and strings don't last as long as in Tasmania. This is my second order and I really like the strings.
AustraliaGood and responsive. Shipping was delayed by Covid but arrived safely.
AustraliaVery nice strings
AustraliaBest Strings I’ve ever used

AustraliaWalking into the upstairs high end acoustic showroom of this place is a cosmic experience. The best of everything
AustraliaAwesome. Great strings, probably the best.
AustraliaExcellent, best acoustic strings ever
Just fitted my first set of low tension strings on my H model Santa Cruz. Wow, totally balanced sound.
AustraliaStrings arrived quickly The overall experience was very good and the strings suited the guitar, an OM PW, perfectly.

Bought these to try something new as I have used the same strings for over the past decade. Love the tone of the strings, but unfortunately the lifespan was very short.
AustraliaExcellent, Super Fast Service! Thank You. Will order again.
