Nylon or steel strings?

Steel I put on a set of Martin 80/20 bronze (.010-.047) and they sound great.

Steel. It has nice, clear tones but it can be difficult to get the strings depressed fully.

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.

Yes the high strings are steel however the low strings are nickleplated steel as it adds to a more bassier tone. Hope that helped :)

No. Classic guitars are not designed to handle the tension of steel strings and you will likely damage the instrument. If you want to use steel strings, buy the steel string version.

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

Steel strings. I bought this guitar for a beginner and find that it holds a good tuning for a long time. Would definately recommend for a beginner...

Hi-tech spiral steel core strings. Here's a link to the different kinds of strings. http://www.ifshinviolins.com/Articles/tabid/145/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/411/Guide-To-Choosing-and-Using-Strings-for-Violins-Violas-and-Cellos.aspx

Yes, you can string this guitar with nylon strings. It is braced for steel strings, so you might not get the optimum sound out of it. Rule of thumb is this: you can re-string any steel string guitar with nylon strings. However, guitars braced for nylon strings (which provide less tension on the body and neck) may not be able to support the increased tension of steel strings. I hope this helps... Good luck and keep on rockin'!!

I asked my son. I bought these strings for him. He indicated that he wouldn't recommend attempting to tune up as the metal is softer than other strings, although he said that he liked the sound. The strings didn't last long for him.

They come with steel strings, nylon strings are easier on the fingers in my experience but if he intends to play with steel strings I would just keep the steel on. But if it's just a hobby or something to play around with but you don't want the extreme callouses that come with playing then nylon would be better

The wound strings hae a nylon core. So, yes and no. The E string is still steel, but the others are nylon with a winding(I can't recall the medal they are wound with). If you're thinking of nylon guitar strings, no they don't resemble those because of the winding.

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.

Regular steel strings. It is a nice set, however, mine didn't come with extra strings. But it is still a great value.

Bass guitar strings. Ha! No, seriously all strings are going to have similar tonal range on a guitar. A classical acoustic guitar might be more your thing. It has nylon strings and is very mellow, much less harsh on the high end.

Steel strings.... Really a nice guitar and great tone. I would highly recommend!

That seems to be inconsistent. Several reviews I read said they were nylon. But ours came with steel and there was even an extra set of steel ones in the box. And no rust or trouble tuning ours.
