Horrible intonation
TCSMD 23.10.2021
Ok, so I wasn't aware of the fact that the Augustine "Classic" strings are infamous for their poor intonation and that they've been like this for decades. I guess the questions is this: Why do they keep manufacturing this junk?
I should have done a search online before buying. That's what happens when I decide to try new strings on a whim. The G-string in particular is so poorly intonated that it is practically useless.
Maybe these strings would be fine if I made a compensated saddle but why bother when many other classical guitar strings work fine with a standard, un-compensated saddle (apart from the ENTIRE saddle being compensated by it's placement of course).
Do not buy these strings unless you want your G-string to be out of tune at pretty much every position except open G.
