Does the guitar also do fine with nylon strings?

No!, this guitar is steel string, classical guitars are the ones that use only nylon strings.

Absolutely. You only want to put nylon strings on a classical. This set is excellent, by the way. They will be a little harder to install, but I think there are instructions in this set, or just look around the internet for instructions to show you how. They don't have a little "ball" on the end like regular guitar strings. You have to do a special "knot" on the bridge of the guitar. Don't worry, its "knot" as complicated as it sounds :) Happy playing!

Bought this as a gift for my brother, so here is his resply to your question: It won't work on nylon strings, on an acoustic steel string guitar it will work at about 10%, you need the feedback on the pickups on an electric guitar to really get the effect of the ebow. It essentially makes the string vibrate at a high frequency and that frequency and sound then makes a "reverse" or sustained reverse sound of the note and or sequence of notes you are playing.Granted I am SLOWLY learning how to use mine, but as far as I am aware, it will not do anything on nylon strings, and even the "metal" coated E,A,D strings will give little to no real reflection of the ebow.

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 have used it with my acoustic guitar and classical guitar with nylon strings. Feedback may occur when near an open mic or speaker...however, audio and quality is pretty good.

Of course it does. It's already strung, but it may need tuned at first. I still play mine until this day and it still sounds great.

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!

Short answer - yes. I've had mine for about a year. I have used it with nylon strings on a traditional classic style guitar and at the other end of the spectrum, D'Addario Light gauge .012 - .053 bronze on a Dobro and on a National Resonator baritone with a .068 bass string. I'm about to order another so I can keep one in each case. It has become my favorite capo, bar none, and I have had no problems with it. It is infinitely adjustable, clamping down to whatever amount of pressure you squeeze it to. When not in use, I often clamp it to the boom of my microphone stand.

This is a steel string guitar. It looks very similar to a classical nylon string

The P/U I have is for steal string guitars. Look on LR Baggs website, they have listed the P/U's for nylon string guitars.

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

Yes, nylon strings are MUCH easier on the fingers. The strings are also farther apart, which can be good if you do not have small fingers.

No, most nylon string guitars do not use a truss rod in the neck and the HC06 is no exeption. You can put nylon strings on a steel string guitar, but you can't put steel strings on a nylon string guitar because the construction is lighter. You can warp or twist a nylon string neck if using incorrect stringing methods.

Yes, they aren't steel strings, rather metal wound nylon strings that look like steel. I hope you enjoy your guitarlele!

It's the same scale length as a guitar with a capo on the 7th fret but tuned to the 5th fret. Standard nylon strings will work fine, but give a slightly easier feel on the frets. High tension strings might be closer to standard tension, but would be harder to fret. It looks close enough to be a personal choice either way.I have large hands with think fingers and can play instruments down to a 14 inch scale, so the size should be no problem.

all Ive ever used is steel strings, I don't know why you could not use nylon strings, cant put steel on a nylon only guitar

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'!!
