Alba GB Classical Guitar Strings Collection – Carbon, Nylon, and Matching Bead Bundles
Built for serious players. Designed for long-term performance.
The Alba GB Classical Guitar Strings Collection offers a complete system for players who demand reliable tone, stable tuning, and long string life—on stage, in the studio, or at home.
The collection includes normal tension carbon strings, normal tension nylon strings, and matching string-and-bead bundles for both types. Each set is crafted with consistent feel, clear projection, and smooth response in mind. Whether you prefer the modern clarity of carbon or the traditional warmth of nylon, this lineup delivers the performance needed for serious classical and flamenco guitarists.
Alba GB Carbon Strings feature clear carbon trebles for fast response and bright tone, paired with twisted-core silverplated basses that stay round under tension and produce a clean, direct sound. The set maintains stable pitch and strong tone over time and suits crossover, electric nylon, and concert instruments alike.
Alba GB Nylon Strings offer a more traditional sound profile. Trebles are precision-made from clear nylon using laser-controlled extrusion for balanced intonation and mellow tone. The silverplated wound basses use a multifilament nylon core, delivering full-bodied warmth and reliable projection with a classic classical guitar feel.
Both types are available in normal tension for flexibility and control. For players who need more resistance and pushback, hard tension carbon and nylon sets are currently in development and will be added soon.
Each string type is also offered in a bundle with Alba GB Guitar Beads. These beads replace standard tie knots for a faster setup and firmer bridge contact. When used together, the beads and strings improve tuning stability, increase sustain, reduce movement at contact points, and extend string life—especially under frequent use or temperature changes.
This collection is suited for players of all nylon-string instruments, including classical guitars, flamenco guitars, acoustic guitars, and electric nylon guitars with piezo systems or preamps.
Whether you’re practicing daily, or preparing for a performance, the Alba GB Strings give you trusted sound and long-term reliability—engineered for real playing situations and tested across a range of instruments.

I’ve ordered twice now through Alba GB—first a guitar from Italy, then one from a Scottish luthier—and both times the experience was flawless. They didn’t just take the order; they coordinated with the luthiers, managed all the paperwork, and made sure everything cleared customs without a hitch.
What stood out to me wasn’t just the speed or reliability, but how personal the service felt. Every question I had was answered quickly and clearly, and I always knew where things stood.
It’s rare to find a company that understands classical guitar so well—from strings and accessories to high-end instruments—and still treats you like a person, not just a customer.

I first found Alba GB through their classical guitar support—which I still use every day. Since then, I’ve added their armrest, sleeves, and nylon strings to my setup, and everything has been consistently high quality and thoughtfully made. The ordering process has always been smooth, and the team is quick to answer any questions.
Now that I’m ready to invest in a handmade classical guitar, I’ve come straight back to Alba GB. I trust their eye for detail, their knowledge of luthiers, and the way they handle every step—from communicating with the maker to managing international shipping and customs. It’s reassuring to work with a company that genuinely understands classical guitar players and looks after every part of the experience.

I’ve been buying accessories from Alba GB for
years—supports, armrests, and of course, their guitar beads. When they started
offering classical guitars and classical guitar strings, I was genuinely
excited to order from them again.
My first guitar order through Alba GB’s
classical guitar store came from an Italian luthier, and the Alba GB team
handled everything. They arranged the shipping, handled all import declarations
and duties, and took care of the customs paperwork—start to finish. Everything
arrived on time and in perfect condition. It made ordering internationally feel
completely stress-free.
I also appreciated that the team speaks five
languages, so communication with the Italian luthier was smooth and precise
throughout. It really made a difference. I’ve now placed an order for a
Spanish-made classical guitar, and once again, they’ve taken care of every
detail.
It’s rare to find this level of
service—especially from a team that understands the needs of classical guitar
players so well.
