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.

I have always used metal strings... but I don't see why it would not work with nylon strings... might have to turn volume up more...I do know that it works very well with my guitar.. some say better than the Dean Markley I have had for 35 years....

Im not sure if this will or not but a piezo mic will I believe.I think most pickups pick up the vibration of the string and not the metal if thats what you were thinking.But I am not 100% on that.

Yes, but it will sound thicker than the typical crisp brittle sound of a Strat single-coil pick-up. This pick-up sounds, in my opinion as good or better than a standard Gibson double, but has no single-coil splitting possibilities: it is a simple double-coil pick...no frills.

This model is for steel string guitars. Although it would work on a nylon string guitar, the EQ voicing is not designed for nylon strings so it will not sound as natural. For a nylon string guitar, use the Anthem SL model, which is specifically voiced for nylon strings:L.R. Baggs ANTHEM-SL Acoustic Guitar Pickup

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.

I recommend Seymour Duncan Custom Staggered SSL-5 Pickup(smooth rich tone.i bought one for my fender.bridge position) or fender texas special pickups(these have that fender tone,came stock in my fender these are in my neck position and middle position.both are different.Strings DR'S or ernie ballsif he is just learning I recommend lit gauge strings just make sure he is dedicated to playing before you start adding new pickups strings ect....I have seen a lot of nice guitars in closets for years untouched.

this pickup becomes the saddle, the white saddle on your guitar will no longer be necessary. I don't know if it will fit in your current saddle slot. the pickup measures 3mm wide x 72mm. it's about 3mm high

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.

I've used rocksmith with single coil strats only. But it should be less noisy since they are humbucker pickups. It should be perfectly fine. Rocksmith is not a highend interface so you can probably attach anything to it

Yes, you can use this for any guitar..just check the size of the hole..String gauge does not matter..it is not for nylon strings, it also will not work for an inline(Fender style) headstock

I 'm not sure ..I returned the guitar as a nylon player I wanted a guitar i could play at the time and this has to be plugged in .I did sound good ,still I found that Martin started making Classical guitars and it has a very same feel as Godin but only way better ,I has a 100x better sound and feel and neck is still slimmer ,tho not to slim it is called Martin 000-c nylon and is about $1300 -1400 ..I am so happy with it ,it is one of those guitars that can change your life,I ve had many guitars and this is by far one of the most special ones

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.

This has pretty good set of strings 6,5,4 being bronze wound nylon. 3,2,1 being nylon. They sound good for stock strings and seem to be doing well in holding tune. I've played it several times retuning each time and they still sound ok. If you are a working musician then you will want to replace them with better quality strings. They are the type that are tied, not ball ends but you can use either, however I prefer the type that are tied.

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.

I really don't know, I changed the strings as soon as I got the guitar, suggest you do same, choosing some strings and brands you favor

Three strings are a bit thicker, but they are nylon. Our guitar teacher recommended this guitar for that reason. It works very well.

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!

Anything is possible, I suppose...but, the bridge is designed for steel strings. IMO, you would need to replace the bridge with a "classical" bridge for standard nylon strings - which would run into $$$. If nylon strings is a "must", I would "pass" on this guitar.
