It's the standard size for an acoustic guitar. The strings are just cheap -- they play just fine. They're rough on your fingers and squeak a lot. In normal use, strings are changed every few months (or weeks if the owners play fanatically). Start researching what kind of strings you want to change to.

It's a classical guitar so it doesn't have a truss rod and thus cannot handle the tension of steel strings. Use nylon strings.

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 important thing to remember here is the strings are NOT silk and steel, the label reads "silk and steel SOFT". If you want a less bright sound get real silk & steel. Martin and D'addario both make them. I have used both brands, they are both mellow. They seem to be more suited to finger picking and strumming with the thumb and finger pads. Try to strum with a pick and you might say "what the heck happened to my guitar"

The strings are steel with a wood guitar. I ordered it for my five year old grandaughter,we were amazed how awesome it is. My son is going to wait a couple years and have her take lessons. She LOVED it, but just strums it now. Really was a couple steps up from what i thought i was getting. Very nice for the price.

I can't answer that question. The guy who made my guitar told me what strings to use and so I buy them only. I believe I am using the EXP strings. Light guage and they are nice enough for a player like myself.

I am not sure, the Brazilian Cavaquinho typically uses steel strings. You may be asking for structural trouble down the road. However it may be just fine. Essentially they seem to be the same instrument, steel strings and alt tunings seem to be the essential difference. I would try it, but I like fixing broken guitars.

I would reccomend Elixer Nanoweb 80/20 strings for almost any steel string acoustic guitar.

I changed tunings for steel tunings, I placed steel strings and it works fine.

Quick answer is "Yes." If you want a steel string guitar, though, you can always put light strings on it to minimize the fingertip tenderness.

They are normal classical style acoustic strings, with the lower three strings metal-wound around a fibrous nylon strand core. The tension is therefore set by the nylon, with the metal winding applied primarily to keep the strands together and to protect them from fraying. The higher strings are made of monofilament nylon.

It has 3 steel strings (real ones) and 3 nylon strings. I am a beginner, but I bought this guitar more than a year ago (I think). It has an excellent sound and for what it's worth...I highly recommend it!

All-metal strings fall into the generic category of "steel" strings which include steel, bronze, phosphor bronze, etc. Fyi, unlike the LX1, virtually all nylon string guitars have a slotted headstock.

So far as I can tell it is a standard magnetic pickup. In other words it requires steel strings. Unfortunately I do not have a nylon string guitar to test it on but it does not "pick up" top vibrations like a "transducer" or sounds in the air like a microphone, but does change volume with changes in distance from steel strings, like all magnetic pickups.

Yes the high strings are steel however the low strings are nickleplated steel as it adds to a more bassier tone. Hope that helped :)

Not sure. Are your guitars electric acoustic? I don't think these strings are the right match for a dreadnought. They are expensive and I think you can find a better string match for your guitars at a lot lower price. I would stick with strings made for an acoustic guitar. (Daddario/Martin/etc..
