I recommend Seymour Duncan Custom Staggered SSL-5 Pickup(smooth rich tone.i bought one for my fender.bridge position) or fender texas special pickups(these have that fender tone,came stock in my fender these are in my neck position and middle position.both are different. Strings DR'S or ernie balls if he is just learning I recommend lit gauge strings just make sure he is dedicated to playing before you start adding new pickups strings ect....I have seen a lot of nice guitars in closets for years untouched.

Depends....I have a Breedlove which uses the jld truss rod... The hole had to be drilled in a small space...I took it to a local luthier and he only charged $40 for the install.....amazing sound though....wouldn't recommend any other pickup besides this one....2 years and tons of compliments...

I had a 52 Tele sold on (eBay) and there is no diff except that it is MIM. Excellent Guitar. I put a GE Smith 1/2 tele bridge on mine (eBay), Jerry Donahue Alnico II APT3Jd/APT1R pups (eBay) with the 4-way mod w/capacitors etc., (eBay); and a BBender /GBender Hipshot (eBay). Now its a $1500 custom shop Badass Moten-Gator Monster !!! ~skygod~ :)

It is a full size guitar with steel strings. I'm sure the strings aren't the best quality and should be changed. However this is a heck of a nice guitar for the money and certainly worth the cost of upgrading the strings.

I just bought one yesterday and it had D'Addario strings on it. I changed them to Fender Ultra Lights and it sounds great! Love it!

Sorry I'm late responding. Since the guitar is inexpensive but receives very good reviews I'm very happy with it then get yourself a universal soft sided carrying case. They're available on ebay.

I think it comes with nylon strings, though I don't really know what a pickup is.

Taylor recommends Elixer, which I really like. They're the most expensive though. Martin strings are much cheaper, but good. D'addario also makes OK less expensive strings.

This perfect for a beginner. As I have learned about the pick-ups. Get Fender Squier instead...I just picked one up for $30 put new strings and tuned it up. It Sound like new $300 guitar...xcheck out craigslist in your area. be surprise on the deals U find...action should be 4/64th on high and low strings. check the videos on youtube...

Finder is the brand Squire is the type. fender makes several types of accoustic guitars. This is a good one to start out on just adjust the action so it's not so difficult to play. Any guitar shop will do this for 5 bucks. I have had mine for over four years and still play it.

D'Addario EJ16-3D is a really nice set of stringsThat have a really nice sound to them but you may want more of a medium string it may help more if you just go to their web site and they explain better what strings to use www.daddario.com

These could be used to replace the humbuckers in most standard Gibson's... Like the les Paul and the SG... However they do not quite sound the same... If you are looking to replace a pickup in a real gibson guitar and you really want it to sound just like the original, then you should probably check the gibson website and, find your guitar model, find out what pickups were originally installed and buy those exact pickups.... If you are looking for a cheaper replacement, I can say that these pickups do sound good, but I cannot guarantee the quality, or how long they will last... Gibson parts are made in the USA and these particular humbuckers are made in china These could be used to replace the humbuckers in most standard Gibson's... Like the les Paul and the SG...

My experience was that the guitar is playable out of the box, but can be set-up even better.If yours arrives with rusty strings, when you replace them, take a very fine sandpaper and buff the frets and oil the fretboard with lemon oil. I hope this is helpful, good luck!

I have a 45 year old Martin d-28 I use the extra light strings EJ 15 3 Dbecause I like to fingerpickthey have a very good warm soundif your guitar is fairly new try the light gauge strings they sound very good too and you can buy 3 packs for under $15 at Amazon. D'Addario makes a good string and I find they last a long time. I highly recommend!

The strings come already in place. I do not however recommend that you buy this guitar. I had one, and the tone was awful. Unless you are buying it for a child to play around with, save your money and buy a better guitar.
