About Classical Guitar Strings
Making classical guitar strings is an art. Luckily, the D’Addario family are artists—artist who’ve been meticulously honing their craft for generations. In the distant past, we made gut strings by hand in Italy. Nowadays, we’ve implemented modern technology to elevate and perfect the process at home in the USA.
A big part of making classical guitar strings is our polymer extrusion process. D’Addario’s polymer extrusion line produces strings with exceptional accuracy. Two-axis laser micrometers continuously monitor the polymer extrusion process, ensuring precise control of string diameter and concentricity, which leads to accurate tension and intonation for every string.
