La Bella FG178 Classical Guitar Strings, 7/8 Size

The La Bella FG178 string set is made for 7/8 size classical guitars. These slightly smaller instruments are popular with younger students transitioning from smaller sizes, as well as adults with smaller hands who find a full-size classical a bit of a stretch. The key to good tone on a fractional guitar is using strings gauged to match the shorter scale length, and that's exactly what La Bella delivers here.

You get clear nylon trebles with reliable intonation and silver-plated wound basses that produce warm, balanced tone without the floppiness you'd get from full-size strings on a shorter neck. Every set is handcrafted in New York, so quality control is tight. If your 7/8 guitar has been strung with standard strings and something always felt off, these purpose-built strings will make a noticeable difference in playability and sound.
