Does this guitar take regular guitar strings?

Every time I go to get strings the counter-people always tell me to use light or extra-light strings, but they break so easily and do not move a lot of air. I have used medium on it and have had mine for probably over 10 years. I don't tighten them too much either. I'd go with Martin's recommendation, but just thought I'd mention that mediums worked for me and they have more sound too.

Yes, but you should use lighter gauge acoustic strings, and you'll have to cut more end off after you wind them since this guitar has only 15 frets (fewer than full-sized guitars). The Martin strings that came on mine were very good, so you probably won't have to do this for a while - and if you don't want to do it yourself, places like Guitar Center will do it for something like $10 or $15 (plus the cost of the strings). (15 frets are more than enough, by the way, 99% of the time for the songs you're likely to want to play on it.)

You might get away with "custom" light strings 11-52. The extra lights 10-47 are fine with it.

Not sure exactly what you mean by "regular strings" . . . Martin recommends Extra Light strings only, that is obviously because of the construction of the guitar.

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.

No, it's just the guitar itself came with strings on it. I had to purchase a case for it we already had an amp and cords. It came in a box with only the guitar. Hope this helps!

No, It is a right hand guitar. I guess you could string it left handed if so desired.

Yes -- all new guitars come with strings. They might not be the best strings, but if you need to ask the question (no disrespect intended), they will probably be just fine until you reach the point where you're ready to look for something special. Note, however, that it does not come with other accessories, except for a neck adjustment wrench, which I would urge you NOT to use yourself. You will probably want to buy a case or at least a padded gig bag.

I have absolutely no idea what strings came with the guitar. When I buy a new guitar I always discard the factory installed strings and string it with Ernie Ball #9. I have used those strings for years and they are so comfortable I never used factory strings on any. I have a Fender Jaguar, Gretsch DE and Gibson Les Paul, all with Ball strings.

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'!!

This guitar only has the set of strings it came with and they may be or may not be the ones you need. We don't know that much about guitars. Thanks!

This is a classical guitar so yes it has nylon strings. There is no maintenance manual with order. You can replace these strings with any other nylon strings you like. You should not replace with steel strings. This guitar needs an amplifier for the sound. There is no sound hole and must be amplified. Hope this helps with your decision.

Yes on the fretboard itself and the side of the fretboard, unlike a regular classical guitar. Maybe they've decided to omit them as a cost cutting measure. There seems to be a lot of variation in quality.

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

No, it does not. You are better off going to a guitar retailer and purchasing one of a similar brand which does come with one for the same price. Best of luck.

Not sure. I purchased this for my grandson who picked it out for a special occasion. We brought it into a local music store and purchased a backup set up strings. All were standard.

I do not play, I got this as a gift for my nephew and I did buy him new strings, but I am not certain what kind they were, I will contact him and find out. It sounds great.

The strings are nylon, yes. The guitar is a very well constructed student model, easy to play and tune.

this guitar comes with steel strings ,which are correct for this type of instrument. Nylon stings are normally found on classical guitars

No - still have the original strings on it. And it stays in-tune like no other guitar no matter what the weather is. It plays just fine for me - I would not want the "playability" changed.
