Steel strings.... Really a nice guitar and great tone. I would highly recommend!

It came with steel strings and I've been using Martin Light Acoustic Strings. Sounds great, resonates better than my Fender Acoustic.

The Oscar Schmidt OG1 has steel strings. There are no nylon or "plastic" strings on this particular guitar.

No! This guitar is not built to handle the much higher stress imposed by steel strings. In my opinion, this change would most likely ruin the guitar. (And I myself play steel strung guitars exclusively). I bought one of these guitars for my four-year old granddaughter who shows signs of being musical. It was an excellent choice. The nylon strings are easier on small, tender fingers, and I think this reduces the likelihood of her becoming discouraged due to the painful process of learning on steel. Later, if her interest continues, I'll buy her a larger guitar with steel strings.

We got a hard pink "gator case" with purple lining on Craigslist . I seem to recall that the guitar we ordered online through Amazon came with a nylon case.

Hello, the L.R. Baggs ANTHEM Acoustic Guitar Pickup is for steel strings. They do make an Anthem SL Classical specifically for nylon string guitars. Thank you for your interest.

The strings are nylon, yes. The guitar is a very well constructed student model, easy to play and tune.

Hi Joseph,It is strung with steel string ready for tuning and playing. I cannot tell you the gauge, I am a total beginner.I bought it after my guitar (Washburn) fell and the head came off... which I stuck back on. I like the Fender, though the strings are higher off the fret at the body.

You don't want to put steel strings on this guitar. Still strings are under greater tension and therefore would destroy this guitar over time. This sounds great with nylon strings.

Not sure on the brand of strings, but the lower three are metallic, top three are nylon.

They are steel strings & they hold up nicely. In the 3.5 months we've had the guitar, it gets used about 120 minutes/week and haven't broken a string yet!

this guitar comes with steel strings ,which are correct for this type of instrument. Nylon stings are normally found on classical guitars

I've not played steel strings but my guitar teacher told me to get nylon strings because they are easier to play in terms of your fingers & the callous factor. He also suggested a capo as it made it easier on your fingers.

Hi, this guitar is not designed for nylon strings. Thank you for your interest.

The wound strings hae a nylon core. So, yes and no. The E string is still steel, but the others are nylon with a winding(I can't recall the medal they are wound with). If you're thinking of nylon guitar strings, no they don't resemble those because of the winding.
