Can I use the light tension for my Rover Nylon String Washburn Travel Guitar
303293
after hand surgery i changed my washburn acoustic to nylon (most washburns have high enough action -wouldn't try it on an ovation or ibanez) it was excellent. BUT you must adjust. you'll figure it out. i used to tune in a higher key for less buzz but that is not necessary. gotta tell ya you'll lose volume and briteness & acoustic "clarity" but it is a sweet mellow sound; but i love bottom end.

I would see not reason why not. However, depending on the setup of your guitar, that is how high the strings are from the frets, the low tension may, or may not, cause string buzz. If you install the low tension and get buzzing, simply put a small sliver of plastic, such as that which comes in bubble packaging, under the saddle and that should correct it.

dont think it will work. But as far as other response to tension. Ive had my first one for over 10 years never one probelm with tension.

Yes. If you press the back switch one time you have a tone light or two for higher. if you mantain pressing this switch then have a momentary light that will off after release.

They are great strings for any acoustic guitar. I would go with the EXP10 extra light for a beginner. They will be a little easier on the fingers.

This is very subjective, and also varies from one instrument to another. In general, avoid light gauge strings if your after "warm low mellow". Try D'Adario "bluegrass" strings - they sound great on some guitars, particularly for pickers.

I like these strings (Martin SP) in light gauge (high E is .012). The sound is good and I've had 'em on my Gibson for a few weeks now. I tried Ernie Ball Earthwood lights and the high E is a little thinner (.011) and they sounded alright also. Extra light strings might not have enough bass for a Martin dreadnaught, but probably good on the OM and smaller models. Happy pickin'!

I don't see why not. Whether the string is nylon or metal, it still produces vibrations that are magnified by the pickup. I use metal strings on my guitar, but I believe nylon strings would be fine.

Yes. The guitar we received has low action and light strings. Easy on the fingers. Very happy with it.

These are great strings ; I have only used them on my Martin Dreadnaught..I'm no expert but ,in my opinion ' you only use steel strings of any kind on steel string instruments....for a real expert opinion, why not e-mail Martin guitar company Nazareth Penn. Good luck Bob J.

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.

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.)

This is a steel string guitar. I am not sure it would sound good with nylon strings. In fact, I don't think I have seen a set that would work with this type of bridge.

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."

For a steel guitar player, the High Tension classical strings would probably feel closer to what you are used to as high tension strings are pulled tighter to tune than medium and soft. The tension just describes how tight the strings are in relation to the tuned note. On high tension strings, your strings would feel tighter on any given note than medium or soft. But as you know, you can get various tensions on steel strings as well. If you are new to the classical guitar, you are going to have to drop the pick and just use your finger tips, but you will get used to this and will enjoy the more intimate relationship with your strings and the sounds they produce. Good luck! As to brand, D'Addarrio is as good as most and better than some. Just go with any major brand on sale until you develop a personal preference based on your own experience. When you change strings on a classical, get ready for a lot of retuning until the strings "set." It takes a few days of playing before your new strings stretch out, and even then, you must retune often. If you don't have your guitar yet, for a previous steel string, or electric guitar player, I would recommend an accoustic-electric classical guitar with a cut-away style. Best Regards, Johanan If you are going over to nylon (classical) guitar, however, I would recommend just using the "regular" or "medium" strings as they are the standard and are easy to get anywhere
