Simply the Best

I've owned a few guitars in my time but the one I always pick up to play is a 0001x. Which of course is my knock around my more expensive guitars just don't get played simply because they don't fit. I'm a slow learner the light bulb finally went on and I bought a quality 000 15M WOW. A reasonably priced guitar with no bling just perfect for me. Full sound, great sustain everything I need in a guitar.
Thanks Studio One

First time buyer of these strings, and they are exactly as described. Love the balanced feel etc.
Shop service also great.

Very happy with my purchase.

Guitar's great and Studio ! service tops.

00016

Great Guitar with a heap of volume. Neck size is great, awesome looking. An easy pick up and play.

Made a Huge Difference to Tone

I replaced some wooden pins in a Parlour guitar that I found had a boxy muted sound. The difference was night and day, a lot brighter and more open sounding!

Perfect for my guitar

I have tried a lot of different strings on my Martin 000-18 and never been sold 100% until i put these on, beautiful tone that really let the guitar sound natural and not muddied with overtones like a PB string can cause. Will be sticking with these from now on, the string experimenting is complete.

Perfect tuner

Great tuner, simple and easy to use, accurate and and intuitive.

Love the 00-12

I'm the lucky beggar that has purchased this awesome guitar. David Benavides is making amazing instruments. I have never felt a guitar so much before in my life. The whole guitar comes alive. I can feel it vibrating in my chest, hands , arms and legs. Even the neck is vibrating under my left hand. This wont be my last Benavides! Do yourself a favor and get your hands on one and give a blast, it will surprise you.

Thanks Ed, you were wonderful to deal with and what an awesome shop. Really good vibe

Thanks Bruce.

Lovely craftsmanship - great service

Bought this beautiful strap for a friend's birthday. He was delighted with the look and the craftsmanship. Service from Studio 1 was excellent, shipping the belt to the UK very quickly to make sure I had it for the big day. Great job guys - thank you!

Martin strings

This is the second set of Martin strings that I have ordered and like them very much. They give my guitar a great sound and last for a reasonable length of time.
I am very pleased with them.

Optima VintageFlex Vs Thomastik Plectrum's

Due to recent shortages in Plectrum strings I have had to look for a similar Low Tension string for a Vintage guitar with no truss rod. A modified '63 Yamaha No.10 all wood.
I have found the Optima's to be a great replacement as they have a soft feel and good mid to high range tones. As the guitar has a lot of bass, it was good to get a little more brightness down low with the thinner E, A strings. My only thought is the Optima's are slightly noisy on the wound strings.
The guitar has settled into them nicely, and they are showing little to no signs of being played are several weeks of daily playing as I have experienced a lot of finger marks on the Plectrum bass strings.
All said and done, I am happy to stay with the Optima VintageFlex Acoustic strings.

Best strings I've tried

I'm very impressed by these strings. I don't think I'll buy anything else going forward as they're so good, and so balanced.
Great service from Studio1 Vintage too--thanks team

Drill peg winder

All good does the job pleased with it

Really happy with is capo. It is sturdy and locks down easily and really firmly with just one hand. Also easily removed with just one hand. I recommend, I think it's worth the money.

Everyone at Studio 1 is so amazing, they are so understanding and helpful. They helped me find the perfect guitar for me. I wish more dealers in the US were as outstanding as this crew is. And it’s pretty obvious their website is one of the best in the business. Just because you are not in NZ, do not hesitate, they know what they are doing!

I loveit.

Martin Tortoise Shell Pick
