Can you restring it with nylon strings instead?

I'm sure you could if you wanted to! It's just like any other acoustic guitar :)

You will have to re-string it backwards but it would work. if this his first guitar , use nylon strings and not steel ones. ( easier on the fingers). order strings and re-string when it arrives.

No. However, a string may break if the string had been improperly installed, or the tuning process was done incorrectly. Use a tuner. I have a Snark. They're inexpensive, and will give you good results. On the positive side, this will give you the opportunity to switch to a lighter string set!

The kit has four strings for at least four string replacements. But if the shade is smaller the string can be used again. The other parts only need replacement as needed, like the threading eyes, some are not worn, only replace if eye causes fraying of the string

Yuppers it can. I made mine fretless and put on nylon strings. I got the sound I was lookin for. Good luck with yours. My email addy is "guulaans@gmail.com let me know how you made out.

You could reuse it, but when its only $10. or so, why would you; the nicest thing about it is the nut at the end which you can screw it off with....must buy......

You will need a bow restringer to remove the string which should be done after shooting to preserve the limbs and string. You can mutually break it down but you risk twisting the limbs. The limb bolts are tightened and loosened by hand. Have fun!!

You sure can. I wouldn't use the factory strings because they rattled when I first got my bass, so I replaced them. Turn the bottom knob all the way counterclockwise, or whatever you like, and you'll get some nice sustained notes with little effort, just right for laying on as much vibrato as you can stand. Keep the action low on the fingerboard and you can have a lot of sound with very little bow and plucking effort, unless callouses are your thing. Enjoy.

That question just came up for me. The strings got tangled when I was working in the wetlands and I thought about taking it apart and comparing it to the one I use inside. That way I could restring it by using the other as a template. Since mine was totally sweaty/stinky after five years of hard use, I decided to get a new one to replace it. However, I kept the old one in case I needed parts off it. It looks to me that if you use a screwdriver (very carefully) you can back the screws out and restring it. You have to be careful because the screws look like plastic and so is the piece they screw into. Taking them out and putting them back in looks like it could result in stripping if you're not careful. You've really got nothing to lose by trying. Good luck!

Anything is possible, I suppose...but, the bridge is designed for steel strings. IMO, you would need to replace the bridge with a "classical" bridge for standard nylon strings - which would run into $$$. If nylon strings is a "must", I would "pass" on this guitar.

Yes, but it probably won't be in tune because new strings stretch for quite a while. Go to someone who knows how to tune it. If you tighten the strings too tight, they will snap, like a 100 lb fish on 5 lb test line.

You may play using the strings already on the guitar and change them as needed.

You could use the green string or buy better attach on belts. But generally with the current state, I would have to say No.

If the nut is too high you can take the nut off and sand it down at the bottom to the desired height (some are glued in but you can pop it out with a screwdriver, and then glue it back in when you're done) or you can file down the slots in the nut until the strings are where you want them.

This is a classical guitar so yes it has nylon strings. There is no maintenance manual with order. You can replace these strings with any other nylon strings you like. You should not replace with steel strings. This guitar needs an amplifier for the sound. There is no sound hole and must be amplified. Hope this helps with your decision.

The thingamabob on the end of the string is fairly solid. You can remove it if you wish.

I'm pretty sure you'd just put regular strings on it, although with the variety of 3/4 size guitars out there, they may make strings specific.
