All steel/electric strings as it is an electric guitar. The nylon strings aren't detected by the pickups.

steel strings. This is a great starter for my 10 yr. old. we did have to reglue the neck right at the body but that may have been because we tightened the strings too tight. For the price, we were impressed. She now is taking lessons and the guitar still sounds great. She's had it since April and it is still a nice piece. The case for it is good too. I would highly recommend this guitar to any starter!

3 and 3... However, all strings are nylon at the core. The low end string are just wrapped in a steel. Not trying to be a snob, just important not to put actual steel acoustic guitar strings on it ever... A classical guitar has no truss rod support in the neck, thus requiring a set of nylon strings for less tension. And yes pretty much all nylon sets are 3 and 3 wound.

We have steel strings. The strings that come with the guitar are fine. My in-laws (the martin family band) were in the house the other day and upgraded the strings which definitely improved the tone (richer) and reduced the necessary finger pressure on the frets.This guitar is primarily used by my 15 year old daughter who has small hands.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It takes steel strings. I asked my sons guitar teacher for you and that is what he said. Hope this helps :-).

They are nylon and the low strings are wound with steel over the nylon. Some people say that it makes it easier for children but I think the wide neck defeats the ease of the strings. My six-year-old likes her yamaha, though, and will only play it even when I offer her a little Martin or a GS mini (both wonderful guitars).

The strings on this guitar were steel and on the one we received the strings were actually rusty.

It is a soft nylon guitar cover. I wouldn't waste my money (again) on this guitar; it is horrible! The neck is not secured properly to the body and therefore is difficult to tune and play. I own one and am very disappointed.

Yes the guitar comes with nylon strings already on the guitar. No, the guitar does not come with a care and maintenance manual. All classical strings are standard the only difference is the color.

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.

They are all steel strings---the lower 2 are regular steel---the upper 4 are steelbut are a thicker twisted like steel and have a copper color. The tone is wonderful. I was so amazed with the quality and construction for this price. The finish is beautiful. Its' a keeper. Marilyn
