I'm looking for extra strings for my new Les Paul Special II. I'm buing guitar from amazon, it costs $149. Are this strings compatible?

You're buying a $150 guitar, get regular slinky. They help build up some strength. Only worry about the strings when you have a nicer guitar. T

Short answer, yes they should be fine. Long answer, the comparability between strings and guitars doesnt matter, its the string slots that in the nut that matter. The les Paul's usually use bigger strings anyway.

You're not going to damage it. Those are standard strings. I use them with all of my guitars. Trust me, you're good. If you want to ask me some questions about getting started, post your email in a response and I will happily guide you through it.

This perfect for a beginner. As I have learned about the pick-ups. Get Fender Squier instead...I just picked one up for $30 put new strings and tuned it up. It Sound like new $300 guitar...xcheck out craigslist in your area. be surprise on the deals U find...action should be 4/64th on high and low strings. check the videos on youtube...

Yes, but I upgraded the pickups to Seymour Duncan SPB-3s and put some Fender Medium/Light flat wound strings on it. The pickups it comes with are cheap with weak output, but do work. Your fingertips will thank you for getting flat wound strings. The upgrades cost me about $90 and I installed them myself, so for less than $200 I now have what I consider to be quite a nice Bass guitar. The Chinese made solid wood body and neck are fine, it is the electronics and strings that are cheap quality.

Yes, but you should use lighter gauge acoustic strings, and you'll have to cut more end off after you wind them since this guitar has only 15 frets (fewer than full-sized guitars). The Martin strings that came on mine were very good, so you probably won't have to do this for a while - and if you don't want to do it yourself, places like Guitar Center will do it for something like $10 or $15 (plus the cost of the strings). (15 frets are more than enough, by the way, 99% of the time for the songs you're likely to want to play on it.)

Not sure. I purchased this for my grandson who picked it out for a special occasion. We brought it into a local music store and purchased a backup set up strings. All were standard.

I used mine on an Epiphone SG, which is made in China. It fit that fine, but, I can't say for sure it'll fit your Les Paul. Some of the reviews I've read say it'll fit. Hey, for ten bucks, roll the dice, dude. Ya know?

Since squire woods are not the best, you would have great result going for a Seymour Duncan pre-wound shield. Sounds great. As for strings, I'd gonfor d'addarios. Very comfortable, great sound and not expensive. Best of luck for him! Frank

I put these strings on my Kona Acoustic/Electric guitar and they work perfectly. I can't imagine that you would have any problem using them on your electric guitar.

Very few classical guitar strings come with ball ends, and they say so when they do. EJ-45 are the main string I use - tried and true, not expensive, highly recommended.

It would depend on the model...these fit in most Gibson's such as SG, 335, and basic models of Les Paul's but Gibson's do offer different pick-ups on the more expensive models...but if you order be advised it took 30 days for me to get them because they ship from China...

Yes. I think D'Addario strings are the best for acoustic guitars. Especially these coated ones. A little bit easier on the fingers for a new player.

Strings can be purchased for this guitar at various places online - usually in sets. Not sure where you can buy single strings for 1/2 sized guitars online. If you need just the one string, try a local music store. Just a thought.

These could be used to replace the humbuckers in most standard Gibson's... Like the les Paul and the SG... However they do not quite sound the same... If you are looking to replace a pickup in a real gibson guitar and you really want it to sound just like the original, then you should probably check the gibson website and, find your guitar model, find out what pickups were originally installed and buy those exact pickups.... If you are looking for a cheaper replacement, I can say that these pickups do sound good, but I cannot guarantee the quality, or how long they will last...

I think the type of sound you get is more influenced by the guitar and not as much by the strings. Most Martin guitars will sound brighter and be weaker in the lower strings while Gibson and high end Epiphones will be stronger in bass tones and weaker in high tones. That being said these are great quality strings at a good price and I change strings often. There are better string out there but not so much better to command that much higher of a price.

I don't know since I installed it on a different type of guitar. It has the standard Les Paul fitting.

no, you provide your own but it does have good quality strings. So often with lower priced instruments you need to replace the strings. You will also want a good chromatic tuner for guitar and bass such as Fender Accessories 009-1160-000 Clipon Chrome Tuner for only $7.11 right now on Amazon.

I'm not sure what the stock strings are, but I bought some highly rated uke strings when I bought this uke and I haven't replaced them yet. I thought I would have to, but the stock strings have been alright. I'm sure they are not as good as the strings I purchased, but they haven't been too bad.
