Parabolic Tension Strings | Santa Cruz Guitar

A look at Santa Cruz' strings prior to installation.

Santa Cruz Guitar’s Parabolic Tension strings are putting emphasis on tension, rather than individual string gauge. Available in Low and Mid tension sets for standard and DADGAD tuning, baritone guitar, and 12-string guitar, the strings use a proprietary lead-free nickel alloy with an anti-corrosion coating. In this video, Santa Cruz luthier BB talks about the corrosion inhibitor packaging, and how the strings are packaged in pairs for easy identification.

Also check out Peghead Nation’s demos of the DADGAD, Baritone, and 12-String sets of Santa Cruz Parabolic Tension strings!
