Does it have enough frets to play all the chords? One of the reviews says it can't play the C chord. Also, does it have nylon strings?

I bought this guitar excited cause I wanted to learn; however, when I got it, I realized it's a kids's guitar (very small). It's still in the box!! NEVER USED IT! Wasted my $60

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!

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've used it on my Yamaha classical guitar, and it works pretty well. I believe it works better on your standard, steel string acoustic guitars; but, yes it works with nylon strings. Hope that helps. R. Logan satisfied customer

I don't use nylon strings but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It fits in the whole and cable hangs out. It picks up on the tone made by the guitar/you. I would think it would work just fine.

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!

There are two versions. A 4 string, and an 8 string. The one I own is a 4 string. Might pick up an 8 stringer in the future.Note that the fretboard is a bit shorter than a regular acoustic mandolin, and also note that (last time I checked a few months ago) Fender does not sell a case for these. You'll need to get a soft gig bag for a-style mandolin and use that.

The strings are nylon,as on any traditional classical guitar.If you try and fit steel strings to it you will damage the appearance and structure of the instrument.It's a good instrument for the money.

It looks super awesome not satin and not too dark. One thing I have to mention is that the tone is not accurate for the 3rd string. When u finish tuning with the open string&#65292; it will go clinker if u play the fifth fret.

I bought this guitar for my nephew who is 7. It is a wonderful size for him. also, it is a student's guitar but beautiful and excellently made using steel strings. It has everything needed, carry case, pitch tuner, and pick. It's also great value for price. Hope this helps.

When I bought it for my girlfriend and tried it out, it wasn't tunned up... But tunning it up is easy. Get your mobile and go to the playstore or apple store and download the app called "Guitar Tuna"... It's a great app to tune your guitar and it teaches you a Lot of chords on the guitar. Hope this helps. God bless

It comes with steel strings. I suggest buying some better strings when you purchase it, but that's just my opinion. If you have high performance expectations like you'll get from a Martin or Takamine, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for a decent travel size guitar that holds a tune, then you'll be fine.

There are only four strings and the neck is a lot thinner. There is a collection of books showing cords for the beginner and also a separate little cord book that is very handy. I think you will like it a lot. I had trouble with a guitar because my hands are small and I found this a lot easier to play. This one is made out of the good and proper wood for the instrument and has a nice mellow tone. I guess you can send it back if you don't like it. But I think it is a good instrument.

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.

It plays the same as an 8 string Mandolin. It's the way it sounds that makes it unique. I bought this to play the blues with. It a great compliment to my guitars. And the blues sound great. It also good for bluegrass music as well.

all Ive ever used is steel strings, I don't know why you could not use nylon strings, cant put steel on a nylon only guitar

Not sure about that... The sound hole on my nylon string guitar is a bit small for the pickup. I did try to see if would fit if I took the strings off and got at it that way, but that was all to no avail as the last time I used the pickup I stood on the cord when I stood up and it has broken the lead (the way the cord hangs from such pickups is a bit of a problem, I think) - so at the moment nothing works! However, the manual says: "We recommend you string your guitar with bronze or phosphor bronze strings to achieve the best response from the pickup."
