Yes you can. no matter the guitar everyone had their own preference. To their picks they use. My son uses these . real good strings. As a beginner, eveytime you play wipe the strings down. Gets the oil and stuff from your fingers off. I give those little clothes i use to wipe my glasses with. That shammy kind of material

I would probably go with the gauge that is recommended by the Taylor company. Extra light gauge would probably be better on a "baby" Taylor. Those worked best on my Martin Backpacker Guitar. Happy picking!

Taylor recommends Elixir Light for Baby Taylor reference the following link to the Taylor FAQ page. http://www.taylorguitars.com/blog/taylor-support/faq-string-types-and-gauges

I would not buy expensive strings for a cheap guitar. Buying expensive strings will not change the sound that much

I put these strings on my Kona Acoustic/Electric guitar and they work perfectly. I can't imagine that you would have any problem using them on your electric guitar.

Sure... But if it is strictly acoustic is will sound dull. Better to go with a smooth flat wound phosphor bronze if no in-board pick up. Think George Benson - Wes Montgomery - Joe Pas strings on a fat bitch Gibson Jazz Full Size Hollow-body! Mine are on an Ibabez Artcore and they sound like the Big Boys. Straight up jazz. Heavy gauge. No slinky bend. No string noise. Not for blues... Nice for slide. Or Slack Key turnings...

We have steel strings. The strings that come with the guitar are fine. My in-laws (the martin family band) were in the house the other day and upgraded the strings which definitely improved the tone (richer) and reduced the necessary finger pressure on the frets.This guitar is primarily used by my 15 year old daughter who has small hands.

I have not had any problems with my Taylor. However, I'm a beginner so may not be putting as much stress on the guitar as a more experience player might.

yes by all means get a guitar, new or used get a new set of strings!!even tho a guitar is new it may have been built two years ago.always get a new set of strings.and for the acoustic, i recomend a set of martin,bluegrass,light _medium and a good tuner and never over tune your strings, that takes the life out of them! happy tunes!!!v.e.

I would not characterize these strings as 'really bright'. They are not 'tinny' or metallic sounding. The highs are not over-powering, nor are the lows. These are the only strings that I have used that I feel really let the true 'wood' sing. I recommend a try. Cost is not much, and you will suffer the time in a string change. I have one guitar that I have used silk and steel, by Martin, on it since 1974. I won't use another type. I have a Martin, which is fairly new (6 mos) and have gone through 3 cycles of the recommend strings that came with it. The next change will be with the S&S; strings. I wanna hear how they react to the Indian Rosewood/Sitka combo of my Mrtin. I would not characterize these strings as 'really bright'. They are not 'tinny' or metallic sounding.

I put them on an Ibanez 12 string. Dont know if they will fit any other but, thet sure do brighten up the guitar. If that is what you are looking for they are worth the investment.

You didn't say if this is for Electric, Classical, or regular Acoustic guitar. This answer is for the acoustic. The short answer is to get wrapped silk strings. They take less pressure on the bass strings and are thus easier to play. That said, if your guitar doesn't sound good with those, you won't want to practice. I would get something light, like the D'Addario light string and build strength by practicing more often rather than longer at one time.

Sure, you can use any acoustic strings including silk and steels.Advantage Music

I use Martin's DARCO acoustic Classic Guitar strings, D30HB High Tension Ball End/Clear trebles. Juststrings.com is an economical palce to buy strings.

Not sure. Are your guitars electric acoustic? I don't think these strings are the right match for a dreadnought. They are expensive and I think you can find a better string match for your guitars at a lot lower price. I would stick with strings made for an acoustic guitar. (Daddario/Martin/etc..

Yes. But as someone whos been playing this for about a year, my advice is save your cash and buy a legit acoustic. This thing has weak sound and is starting to have neck problems I'm not sure can be fixed. Frets feel like wax and wear like it too.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. These are for an acoustic guitar. You may have to check with a luthier.

Yes. That is the perfect age for this guitar. You might want to use some nylon strings, but at some point you need to toughen up the fingers no matter the age. I think this is a great guitar that has good sound and will last until they are ready to buy their own pro guitar. I was suprised at the quality package.

These are electric guitar strings. I wouldn't recommend this specific model. I believe DR has neon acoustic strings though.
