Argentine strings are the original Gypsy jazz string used by Django Reinhardt and nearly every other Gypsy jazz guitarist.

Light gauge - .010 .014 .022 .028 .036 .045

Loop end

Round core

Silver plated copper

Purple silk winding

Manufactured by Savarez in France.

Light gauge Argentine strings usually sound best on long scale Selmer style guitars (670mm or longer) with higher action.

Most Selmer style tailpieces will take both loop end or ball end strings. There is no difference in sound or playability between the two.

Very good strings

By: guitarnowski on 03/19/2012 07:26:21 PM

I've tried a number of different gypsy strings on my Gitane DG-255, but I like these the best. I like their dry, somewhat trebly rhythm tone, they have a fairly even volume across the strings for leads. They're pretty sturdy. I think I play pretty hard and they last quite a while. And the price is right, especially if you buy 5 sets at a time.

Still the best

By: Guitarmonster56 on 01/22/2012 04:59:57 PM

Pros: Good sounding and inexpensive

Cons: none...

Michael and crew (how many people are there at Django Books?) do a GREAT job of getting stuff out. Living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean makes it tough to get proper Django support. I can count on getting my orders within a week. And the the strings are still the best sounding wires on my Wrembel. Thanks Michael!

My favorite!

By: Dmitry on 10/10/2011 04:19:41 PM

The best strings for manouche I think - just try it one time and will never use others:) After buying Savarez from Djangobooks I can change them once in a week - the best price!

Argentine strings

By: scaley on 05/03/2011 01:32:24 PM

Have tried a bunch of gypsy guitar strings and I must say that the Argentines thus far have the best longevity and intonation last considerably longer than other strings I've tried....plus with the bulk discount they are a great value!

Argentine 1510

By: Neil Andersson on 01/02/2011 01:35:37 PM

Pros: Long life, smooth feel, and 'the' sound.

For that original sound, I prefer these strings. The round core makes the string slightly more flexible - and the feel of the strings is great.
