Does it come pre-strung or do I have to string it myself?

Mine came strung with black nylon strings. These blank nylon strings were ok, but I replaced them in about a week with some clear strings. The clear strings made the uke sound 100 times better. If you're as unsure as I was about how to replace the strings, here is the best video I found to illustrate how to change uke strings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyv7uOiXsbM

It comes pre-strung. The strings that came with mine are very nice with a bright, clear tone, although some reviewers said they had to buy better strings to get the right sound. The strings, like any new strings, will fall out of tune for the first week or so, but after that, they hold their tuning pretty well. I loved this instrument so much that I bought the Kala baritone uke as well. My husband, a professional musician, was very surprised when I told him how much I paid for my Kala. He would have guessed the price at about $300. I hope you enjoy your uke as much as I have.

it is already strung when it arrives. After a short while, I replaced mine. I bought an elementary guide and followed the instructions. Now I feel like a pro.

It does come pre-strung, but you have to tune it, as it can't be shipped with the strings tight, and you need to become acustomed to tuning it because it does lose it's tone after a few hours playing.

Hi,No, this is not prestrung. I had to take it to a shop to get it strung, but I believe you can pay extra to have it strung for you.

They are correct ti came with no string attached. It wasn't a deal breaker for me as I would have removed it anyway but don't buy expecting it.

It comes with lacing string- and you simply wrap the cord through every few holes in the net and concurrently around the thin metal rod welded on to the side and top bar. Easy but time consuming. Works well however.

Strings are attached and it comes with extra, but you may need to adjust them, but that is what the tuner is for...you make slight adjustments until the tuner says it is on the right note.

It does come pre-strung. I don't know exactly what gauge they are, but I believe I've read other places that they're kind of a standard medium gauge. As a total beginner, I found them a little tough on my fingers, so I replaced them with the D'Addario light phosphor/bronze (http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000OR2RNM) and it made a huge difference. Much easier to play.

Mine came ready to play with strings installed. Not sure what other setup can be done.

No, it doesn't have string. You can either order the wound spools on line or buy them at Lowes; however, they are a bit pricey.

Yes, mine came complete,I also bought some twine to make my own bowstrings for the future.I recommend that you make your own bow strings too

What do you mean by "fix"? The guitar comes with the strings installed. You have to "tune" it yourself (with the use of a tuner).

It doesn't come with the string- but it does have a little eyelet if you wanted to do it with your own string. :)

The strings come already in place. I do not however recommend that you buy this guitar. I had one, and the tone was awful. Unless you are buying it for a child to play around with, save your money and buy a better guitar.

Yes the string comes with it. I'm not sure the #. I would buy new string anyways. The stuff that came with it broke easily. Replaced it with 200# line, works much better.

The guitar comes strung with very light strings. If you prefer heavier strings, as I do, I would recommend taking it to a good shop and having them set it up for the increased tension.

Yes the string has already been tied. This racquet is very light and is suitable for everyone from novices and up.

yes it comes pre-stringed with a tuner. In my opinion, this this feels like a toy and kind of sounds like one too. I think if a person wants a really good quality built & sounding instrument, you need to spend several hundred dollars. This is the second under a $100 mandolin I have bought off Amazon. I returned the first one due to quality, or lack thereof. They market these as actual great sounding and playing units but they are not. They are inexpensively built with inexpensive materials and they will never hold a tune for this reason. Good product for kids but pony up and spend a few hundred on one for an adult. yes it comes pre-stringed with a tuner. In my opinion, this this feels like a toy and kind of sounds like one too.

Yes the bow is strung. All you have to do is connect the limb to the body. The limb is prestung. You also have to mount the scope and arrow rest. It takes about 30 min. for the whole thing to be ready to shoot. Very easy.
