If I wanted to purchase another set of strings, will I need to get a loop-end E or a ball-end?

Ball-end strings are fine for this product. As a professional I would suggest getting a specific set called Dominant. Dominant strings are imported and hand made in Austria which includes a Loop-end E string. This product uses any type of violin string.

Yes. You can use traditional nylon strings. However, be careful of your string tension and don't expect the same sound quality. This guilele really sounds best with the Aquila nylgut strings here Aquila 96C Guilele Strings Set

That I can not tell you, but what I can tell you is this. The factory strings are not good at all. Just go ahead & order a set of Ernie ball 2835 extra slinky electric nickel wound bass set (gauge 40-95) and you will be way ahead of the curb

they are good with both. The zyex strings I got and they are the best for the money too.

I installed My on a Gibson Les Paul and it is the very same as the standard bridge. I use .09 to .46 Ernie Ball Cobalt strings and they work just fine. You will have to make the post a little larger than the stock but that's eazy enough to do. That's about all, I've had NO Problems at all. Hope this helps.

Depends if you're used to use the nylong strings or metal. But if you're a begginer, I recommend you to change them to nylon cause it's better to start off with that.

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.

No. the end if string is a dragonfly, it does not have a connection to add extras.

I upgraded to Thomastik Dominant Violin String set Ball End strings. I'm a novice and it was easy to change strings, I had no issues with the fine tuners.

Beware! Your guitars are set up to handle light strings. If you get any other size your guitar may buzz

You need nickel or steel wound strings for electric-guitar type magnetic pickups. The Fender mando-strat uses ball end strings. Ball end strings are much less likely to break than loop end strings and will fit on most instruments. Buy your strings from emando or you can sort through 8-string mandolin sets in stainless or nickel steel for ball end strings. Here are several sets you can choose from: THOMASTIK 154K MANDOLIN SET BALL END - Strings are plain steel and flatwound chrome on a steel core, ball end, their medium gauge 009 014w 020w 031w, 127.2 pounds tension, 34cm scale length. THOMASTIC 154 FLATWOUND CHROME MANDOLIN STRING SET These top-of-the-line sets are known to be quite durable and are a favorite with jazz players. Flatwound strings are the best. I use stainless because I am allergic to nickel. The Gold Tone GME-5 5 string electric mandolin has about the same scale length as the Fender and most other mandolins and uses these string gauges: CGDAE - .052w, .040w, .026w, .016, .011 Of course, on a regular mandolin, the lowest note is G. On a mandola or 5 string, the lowest note is C. Hope this helps.

I think it easer just to purchase them. The LST136 has a self feed mechanism and if you don't wind the string just right it won't feed. Amazon has a pack of 3 for just $14

Extra wires can be found on line, but I think they are too expensive. I suggest a guitar string. I think it is the E string but not sure. Piano wire would probably work also.

Extra pair. It's a good thing, too; I broke one of the pre-strung ones the first day by over-tightening it. (I am new to stringed instruments.) The spare has kept me happily playing for months.

I replaced mine with folk strings black treble they have ball ends you do not have to tie and they sound great to me pretty cheap too

I bought a hard shell for mine, nothing else comes with it...if you buy extra strings go with 11's...great guitar for blues, slide, country...use open G tuning on mine...I see a lot of complaints about this guitar, but works great for me. I also have a Gibson ES339 that cost much more and I really like it but keep it in standard tuning hope this helps

One string each of G, D, A and E. It's a good set to work with, although I am just a beginner. Also the price is very good compared to other companies, on-line or in store.
