Do you think these would work with a nylon stringed Spainish style guitar? I can't grow strong finger nails.

I bought them for my ukulele, but they were much too firm. When I tried to bend one a bit it snapped in half.I've had a classical guitar, as well, the strings are definitely thicker than a ukulele's, I think that these MIGHT work.I also don't have very strong fingernails, I used to bite them and only stopped a few years ago. But, after trying it out, I would say to grow them out a bit and shape them into rounded points. Then try picking. Your nails should eventually get stronger, and the shape really helps. It's way better than using a pick, especially for Spanish guitar. Arpeggio is nearly impossible with a pick.Whatever you do, don't give up. I bought them for my ukulele, but they were much too firm.

For strumming maybe but probably steel ones like banjo players use would be needed for 'fingerpicking" would be better. Thumb pick and two for the fingers would be better, maybe?

No, these would not be suitable for a guitar. There is good information around the internet if you search for guitar decoration tips, or comparisons of permanent markers. Good luck!

Hi James,I'm not sure they're designed to gut fine wire up to 1.5mm in diameter. For fine electrical work. If guitar strings are hard they mat put a gap in the cutting edge of the tool.Paul

These strings are intended for electric guitars, but I think they will work with acoustic guitars, specially the mid-range strings. Just see if the retention mechanism of your acoustic guitar can hold the ring of the end of the strings.

We'll, you might be able to get a decent sound with nylons, but if you are a beginner, then what you really want to do is use the default strings to build up the strength and skin on the tips of your left hand fingers. It took me a solid 2 weeks to get hard finger tips for guitar. Hope this helped.

No it won't work with nylon strings. Your best bet is an undersaddle pickup, but they require professional installation and drilling a couple of holes in your guitar. If you're looking for an economy option you can put in yourself, take a look at stick-on transducers (aka "contact mic"). They sound decent if you install them under the bridge.

Absolutely. You only want to put nylon strings on a classical. This set is excellent, by the way. They will be a little harder to install, but I think there are instructions in this set, or just look around the internet for instructions to show you how. They don't have a little "ball" on the end like regular guitar strings. You have to do a special "knot" on the bridge of the guitar. Don't worry, its "knot" as complicated as it sounds :) Happy playing!

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

Yes. The nylon strings don't hurt as much, but keep in mind that the sound is quite different.

The P/U I have is for steal string guitars. Look on LR Baggs website, they have listed the P/U's for nylon string guitars.

If it's a nylon strung classical, don't do it. These would end up ripping the bridge of your guitar off - they just aren't made to handle the strength of steel strings. As to steel string acoustics, I'm not sure. It depends on the guitar. I wouldn't risk it.

It's the same scale length as a guitar with a capo on the 7th fret but tuned to the 5th fret. Standard nylon strings will work fine, but give a slightly easier feel on the frets. High tension strings might be closer to standard tension, but would be harder to fret. It looks close enough to be a personal choice either way.I have large hands with think fingers and can play instruments down to a 14 inch scale, so the size should be no problem.

They should fit ok my guitar is a grand auditorium. and I don't know if its the latest version. Be careful taking them out....i would say it is easy to, but still be careful.

Yes, they aren't steel strings, rather metal wound nylon strings that look like steel. I hope you enjoy your guitarlele!

I use them on my accoustc/electric and they work great. There are strings made for strictly electric guitars.

I really really don't know... I've trimmed the trings quite a bit, so it is possible that the strings will fit a 3/4 size guitar. And for the second part of the question, I recommend to call the manufacturer in order to see if they have a specific set for those guitars. I hope this may help you...

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.
