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

Medium gauge - .011 .015 .023 .029 .037 .046

Loop end

Round core

Silver plated copper

Red silk winding

Manufactured by Savarez in France.

Medium gauge Argentine strings usually sound best on long scale Selmer style guitars (670mm or longer) with lower action or short scale guitars (640mm).

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

Argentine strings

By: Happypedro on 05/01/2012 07:51:57 PM

Great strings. Would love to see a super bulk Oder option; there's a discount for buying a pack of five, but what about a bit more for 10, and then a tad bit more for ordering 20? Would be helpful to those who play (and thus) order a lot/frequently.

Benchmark

By: Heretic on 04/15/2012 11:06:19 AM

Pros: The right sound and feel

Cons: Still not inexpensive

After trying virtually every type of gypsy guitar string, I find myself returning, again, to the Argentine sets. They are the benchmark for sound, feel and longevity. I give the 4 out of 5, because there's always hope for improvement.

Hey, Argentine string are THE original since Django. They hold the tune once tuned and the sound is the real one. My teacher is involved in the Django Reinhardt-family and played with Joseph. He plays only Argentine, because they're the best.

Pros: great sounding strings, great price

I've been using Argentine strings for years, and had great experience purchasing in bulk from djangobooks. The phone service was excellent when I needed assistance placing the online order and the strings arrived in my mailbox much sooner than I expected! Thanks, Djangobooks!

Highly Strung

By: JohnR on 05/03/2011 04:32:48 AM

I recently bought a Gitane DG255 and have found the Argentine strings are a perfect match, once I got the string gauge correct - ie 10. I´ve also been pleasantly surprised that the strings still retain that "new" sound after hours of playing.
