What string pack would you recommend getting for a beginner? Quite confused on the difference and what to buy(bought this specific guitar).

I am sorry but I don't know. I bought it as a gift. Perhaps you could call a guitar shop for an answer?

Hi Natalie! The strings were bronze wound round, factory strings in a medium gauge. They are okay and sound reasonable, but I would suggest that you put the acoustic strings on the guitar which you like best in a light gauge. I use D'Addario brand strings on my electric and acoustic guitars and I am happy with sound and quality.

You can see in the left corner it says 6 plain strings. Thats what this is. I get these alot. This is a set of .009 gauge strings. Six .009s are in this pack. This is for people like me that either use string setups that are different than normal or if you break alot of .009s. There are six strings in the pack. All .009s. No other gauge strings in the pack just .009s. Hope this helps.

I believe the strings that come with the guitar are composite core with brass wrapping. I suggest buying new strings, as a few of mine had some damage, and were already stretched from being on the guitar, out of tune.

The strings are what you'd expect on a cheap uke. The strings are cheap. If you are planning on just playing it for fun as a "starter uke" then you will probably be able to deal with them. However if you change the strings it will give it a better sound (not much better, but it will improve). I put a set of Soprano Aquilla strings and they sound pretty good. The body is cheap, so no strings will make it sound awesome. But new strings help.

i have this guitar.its not bad. i learned basic, open chord guitar from youtube also. been playing over a year now. its a good starter guitar. just make sure any guitar u get has a good, straight neck and u'll be good to go. try to get bright d'adarrio strings on it for great sound.they are sturdy/long lasting strings too. a great beginner song to learn is 'down by the water.' by the decemberists. and 'sweet pea' by amos lee.

You're buying a $150 guitar, get regular slinky. They help build up some strength. Only worry about the strings when you have a nicer guitar. T

Congrats on receiving one! They look steel, but they are nylon. Well at least mine were nylon, you can tell by the sound if you're familiar with steel string as well as the end's near the sound hole. For new players, steel string "cut" into your fingers much more than nylon. Have fun!

After reading both descriptions I can't really see any difference in the two. So you may want to get the cheaper one and plan on ordering a decent set if strings, I like Helicore's or zyex, but I play fiddle music. Also get some better rosin, at under 10 dollars it's a good investment. Kaplan is good. I also had to upgrade the tail piece because the fine tuners they sent would hold my strings. That was another $20. If you are just learning the bows might last awhile, but you are eventually going to want a better bow too.

You're not going to damage it. Those are standard strings. I use them with all of my guitars. Trust me, you're good. If you want to ask me some questions about getting started, post your email in a response and I will happily guide you through it.

I bought this guitar for my daughter..not bad for an entry level guitar. I would buy the bundle...you'll need pics and a tuner

Yes definitely. Strings are a very personal choice when it comes to playing guitar. Some people love certain brands, some people dislike the same brand. Just try different packs until you find one that has a tone you like. But these are definitely a great choice. I use them myself. Long life, bright and boomy and very crisp. - Andy

This guitar only has the set of strings it came with and they may be or may not be the ones you need. We don't know that much about guitars. Thanks!

Hey John, this is actually my first guitar and I have had it for almost a month and I love it. I am using it with the game rocksmith and it sounds amazing for a guitar that cost $80. I even had a buddy of mine check out the guitar and he loved it. This is a perfect guitar for a beginner. I don't think you will regret it.

Perfect guitar for a beginner to learn on. It's very playable & forgiving. If she keeps up her interest in playing it'll be an awesome guitar for intermediate to professional playing. It may cost a little more than a lot of the cheapies but it's extremely important to have a quality guitar to depend on as you go thru the learning stages. The cheaper the guitar, the quicker a beginner loses interest. FACT!

Steel strings. I bought this guitar for a beginner and find that it holds a good tuning for a long time. Would definately recommend for a beginner...

I am a beginner also. I would suggest going to YouTube and check out a video by fiddlerman. He reviews the black version of this violin. He gave a favorable review. What he plays in the video sounds good. Alot better than my playing. You will probably want to get higher quality strings. Hope this helps.
