This is a premium string and is fast becoming the cult string amongst guitarists looking for the extra edge in their playing.

On their website Knobloch say the aim is to deliver “Perfect intonation, well-balanced with a warm full sound, Knobloch Strings are acclaimed by today’s leading guitarists, both nationally and internationally”.

Lofty aims? You be the judge.

I was lucky given a couple of sets of Knobloch by Jacob Cordover last year when he recorded at Guitarsonline. I gave them out to our test panel to test and the feedback was uniformly enthusiastic.

These strings are just hard to get! But finally - we have some for you to play with!

Evaluation and which guitars it works well with:

This nylon version is versatile, resonant, and lyrical.

The Nylon QZ trebles offer a more refined and lyrical sound.

This newest generation of premium nylon has a slightly thinner diameter and produces a warm, sweet sound.

The thinner diameter of the string doesn’t affect the volume, and still offers a rounded tone.

The Nylon QZ have a velvety smoothness and perfect balance and are designed for players aiming for a more elegant and classy sound.
