The default strings were okay but I changed to aquila and the tone was better. It sounded more mellow and full.

By default, not bad, though to your point-prefer aquila most definitely. The quality is superb

I wasn't happy with the strings it came with. Aquila strings were a great replacement.

Mine came with Aquila strings. I don't know if they are all like this or if I just got a good one, but my uke has an amazingly bright sound.

The stings on this Ukulele are Aquila strings and are very appraised by the ukulele community. You should not have to replace the strings. They will take about a week to stretch out until they stay in tune, but once they do they will last a pretty long time. The longer you have the strings on the better they will sound. You don't have to replace Uke strings until you started noticing marks rubbed in from the frets. Quality is great!

The guitar resonate well and easy to handle and its light, after the strings is streach, the sound is good and its for plucking and not strumming, I mean for classical not strumming.

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

Yes. I think D'Addario strings are the best for acoustic guitars. Especially these coated ones. A little bit easier on the fingers for a new player.

Yes it is pretty good for the price. I think the sound is pretty beautiful, except for very rare times it has those weird noise when you do multiple strings at one time. But generally it's a good bargain

Taylor recommends Elixer, which I really like. They're the most expensive though. Martin strings are much cheaper, but good. D'addario also makes OK less expensive strings.

It sounds fine for practice, learning, and general playing. I restrung mine with better strings and it made a big difference. After a year and a half I still say for the money you can't go wrong.

It's on par with a standard strat trem. I've purhchased two of these guitars and modded them heavily. No probs with the trem at all.

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.

When I purchased it for my grandson it came with GHS strings...not the best but OK. When he becomes more serious about playing I'll replace them with aquila strings. I ha v e played it a few times and it sounds surprisingly good for such an inexpensive instrument. A great choice for an entry level uke.

It isn't better. It's just different. Kind of like the difference between a 6 and 12 string guitar. 8 string mando will have a fuller sound for sure (although I haven't played the 8 string mando-strat). 4 string gives you some of the features one gets with a six string solid-body guitar -- string bending, better response with effects boxes in some cases, playing with a glass slide.

The guitar is beautiful and built well. It is a good guitar for a beginner. I bought it for my wife, she is just learning to play. Put better strings on it. Well worth it.

These are great strings and I think you have your answer below. It does take a long time to get new strings to stay in tune, though. Get a tuner and tune it every time you pick it up. Keep your old strings as back up, but, you'll never use them. Aquila is worth buying. You can take your uke to a music store. I bet they'd be happy to assist. Have fun and check out all the youtube tutorials. They are very helpful, too.

I have not finished on my project yet, the shipment came from Germany with the store's web address on the envelope, I don't know how they sound, but I compare them with a set of dragonfire from guitarpartsonline.com or a set from guitarfetish.com I bet they should sound good, Wilkinson is a good brand from England, I have a Wilkinson tremolo in my Carvin, I was thinking that they are cheap because they are built in China, but like I said the shipment came from Germany, I have to finish my project and check them out, the tremolo in my Carvin cost $150, but that's an original U.S. Wilkinson tremolo, I don't know about the pickups, I got these because the brand + the economical prize. Lace is a good brand too! Both are great if they are original, some Fender Jaguars uses Lace

It honestly compares pretty well surprisingly. I set the action on mine pretty low and get great sound without any fret buzz. I picked up this guitar to have as an extra I could get a little rough with and not have to worry about it so much at its price. It actually sounds better than my 400 dollar Schecter.
