The Savarez 540R is the normal tension set pairing Alliance KF composite (carbon) trebles with HT Classic basses. Alliance trebles are bright, precise, and quick with excellent intonation; HT Classic basses are traditional silver-plated strings on a multifilament core with a direct, classic sound. Normal tension keeps the feel comfortable and suits most guitars.
Savarez has made strings in Lyon, France, since 1770 and pioneered the fluorocarbon treble with its Alliance line; its sets are color-coded by card: red for normal tension, blue for high, yellow for extra high. The 540J is the high tension version.
'- KF ALLIANCE plain composite trebles (also called carbon strings)
- HT CLASSIC stabilon multifilament (specifically treated nylon) wound basses with rust protected silver plated metal.
