The Science of Perfect Tension
When it comes to guitar 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.
Santa Cruz Guitar Company has developed unique "Parabolic Tension" acoustic guitar strings that are engineered to create even tension across all strings for a more balanced tonal response. This innovative approach ensures that each string has the optimal tension for its pitch, resulting in superior projection, clarity, and tonal balance.
