Savarez is a French company based in Lyon in France, known worldwide for making strings for musical instruments, especially classical guitars, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and traditional instruments.
Founded in 1770, the company originally produced gut strings. With technological progress, Savarez later became one of the first manufacturers to use nylon and then advanced synthetic materials, which improved sound quality, tuning stability, and durability.
Savarez is famous for several key product lines:
• Alliance – Corum: powerful, responsive strings favored by classical guitarists.
• Cantiga: flexible, stable strings made from innovative composite materials.
• New Cristal: clear nylon strings offering a warm, round tone.
• Argentine: iconic strings for gypsy jazz guitars, associated with Django Reinhardt.
The company invests heavily in research and development, working with musicians and luthiers to design strings that meet modern performance needs.
Today, Savarez is a global reference in string manufacturing, combining traditional craftsmanship with continuous innovation to serve beginners, students, and professional players worldwide.
