Hi all,
A few months ago I purchased the Córdoba C10 classical guitar. I am looking for recommendations on which strings to use when it comes time to replace them. I think the strings that came with it are the Savarez Cristal Corum High Tension 500CJ, however, I am not positive about this. Is it best to stick with the strings that came with it? I do like a really warm tone when I play.
Another question, and hopefully this is not a silly one for all of you, but is there a general rule of how often you should change guitar strings? I usually play 1 - 2 hours a day.
Kind regards,
Jack
I've got the C10 parlor in spruce. Cordoba guitars seem to respond best with high tension strings if your fingers can tolerate them. So your first decision is what tension you want to use. The bass Savarez strings (Corum) are really excellent, it's a matter of finding the treble strings that give you the sound you want. Right now I'm happy using D'Addario carbon G string and B & E strings from a TT set. But I like a brighter sound. I'd suggest finding some bass strings you like and then swapping out trebles as they wear. Keep good notes because it's easy to forget after months which ones you liked for what reason. And, of course, unless your guitar is fully aged already, it will be an ongoing process as the sound changes over time. Have fun!
