Savarez is a French string manufacturer based in Caluire-et-Cuire, near Lyon, with roots tracing back to 1770 when the Savaresse family — originally from Italy — began producing gut strings in Paris. The company is best known for classical guitar strings and is credited with introducing carbon trebles to the classical guitar world in the 1990s, a development that reshaped the tonal palette available to nylon-string players. Flagship lines include Alliance, Cristal, Corum, and the long-running 520R set.

Beyond classical guitar, Savarez produces strings for a range of acoustic instruments under its own name and affiliated brands. The Argentine line is a standard in the gypsy jazz community, used on Selmer-style Maccaferri guitars, while the Corelli brand covers bowed string instruments including violin, viola, and cello. The company also manufactures strings for 5-string banjo and supplies accessories such as nail care kits for classical players.

Savarez strings are widely distributed through specialist retailers and are a common choice among classical, flamenco, and gypsy jazz guitarists. The manufacturer maintains a focus on string production rather than diversifying into instrument building, positioning itself as a specialist supplier with a long lineage in the European string trade.

Savarez has 14 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Strings, Ukulele Accessories, and Classical & Nylon-String Guitars. Their gear is featured by 4 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Jazz. Notable users include Nicolas Chassagne, Florian Dubos, and Philippe Bussonnet.
