does it make the strings easier to slide on?

This is a treatment for the fretboard, not the strings. There are other solutions available for cleaning and lubricating your strings.

Not really, when first applied to the wood there is less friction on the surface but after a week or so the oil is pretty well soaked in or rubbed off. I would not look at it as a fret lubricant. it is a wood conditioner and preservative. Strange as this might sound, I hear a better quality sound, clearer, fewer muddy overtones....probably just me. I suppose that if the fret board is kept in good condition, the oil and grunge from your fingers is cleaned off and there is less "stickyness".

No. The only thing this product is used for is to condition and lubricate a rosewood fretboard (which it does a GREAT job of doing).

I don't let it touch the strings ... Only clean the fretboard when the strings are off

I've only used it when changing strings to clean and condition the fretboard. I would assume not though.

Although it is easier on fingers after a while of playing my tips will have the dents of the cords but much better than wire cords. Easier to go back and play. Good sound,

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.

The strings are not only included, they are tuned properly. You will have to fine tune them when you play as you would normally.

Yes it is softer on your fingers. I highly recommend ordering strings with it,the stock strings are terrible. The guitar itself is actually very nice. I know it's classified as a student guitar but it really isn't a student guitar. I would call it an intermediate guitar. very nice for the money.

Beware! Your guitars are set up to handle light strings. If you get any other size your guitar may buzz

mostly. i think putting new strings on would be better, but as a simple strumming mess-around acoustic, its a great buy.

Yes they do. They are snug but once you find the technique you can slide them quickly. I even have a triple album it is super tight bit I got it on. I have been very happy with them.

We really have not noticed much sliding. Works great for our kids under 12 years old. I'm sure you could put on friction tape if you noticed sliding.

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.

Sounds like you are stringing it the opposite way you should. As you tighten the string it should put tension on the whammy bar. Our guitar turned out great and plays good. Great guitar.

I got these as a present from a friend who researches products ad nauseam and put them on a Taylor 514(cedar/hog). I think they sound great - lush and full but different than other strings, for sure. They also seem like they are lower tension and are much easier to play. I did have some issues with the low E pulling out the bridge pin but I would re-set it and keep going. That string just broke but after 6 months or more of regular use. I bought another set of these to put back on. I even bought some Plectrums to try on a Taylor 816 but haven't tried yet.

The strings do not hurt my fingers. You do have to practice and toughen up your fingers over time. It is so much fun and it doesn't matter what uke you pick...strings are Aquila and that is a separate brand from the uke!!!

Not really. we have not had any trouble with the strings that came with the guitar . sorry .

Comfortable yes, but I find it does have a tendency to slide off off the leg. I often wear shorts while playing it. The guitar resting on your skin rather then fabric helps to prevent sliding.

I let it swing, it is easier to put the guitars on or off with a litle movement and doesn't tend to scratch the neck as much.

No - it slides around the bridge just below the strings. super easy and doesn't involve any retuning
