Taylor recommends Elixer, which I really like. They're the most expensive though. Martin strings are much cheaper, but good. D'addario also makes OK less expensive strings.

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.

I'm pretty sure the stock strings are the GHS Black Nylon strings. The stock strings sounded very dull to me, I changed them out pretty quickly.

Try your local music store. Take it with you I you will need help re-stringing.

These are great strings and I think you have your answer below. It does take a long time to get new strings to stay in tune, though. Get a tuner and tune it every time you pick it up. Keep your old strings as back up, but, you'll never use them. Aquila is worth buying. You can take your uke to a music store. I bet they'd be happy to assist. Have fun and check out all the youtube tutorials. They are very helpful, too.

This perfect for a beginner. As I have learned about the pick-ups. Get Fender Squier instead...I just picked one up for $30 put new strings and tuned it up. It Sound like new $300 guitar...xcheck out craigslist in your area. be surprise on the deals U find...action should be 4/64th on high and low strings. check the videos on youtube...

I have not had to replace any strings. Try Googling for replacement strings.

Mandolin strings,I'd bring it into a music store and have hem professionally changed.Might cost about $20,plus the cost of the strings but,it's better that way.

Hi Natalie! The strings were bronze wound round, factory strings in a medium gauge. They are okay and sound reasonable, but I would suggest that you put the acoustic strings on the guitar which you like best in a light gauge. I use D'Addario brand strings on my electric and acoustic guitars and I am happy with sound and quality.

I pop'd the high e string a few weeks after getting mine, it broke as I was tuning up and I went a little too far. I haven't had any other strings break.

Since the strings are already on guitar,I don't know what kind,but they last a long time.I bought my guitar about three years ago and haven't replaced them.I do have lots of guitars but I still love the Hummingbird and play it a lot,both acoustic and I play it electric sometimes.I wouldn't even worry about the strings ,until they are needed and strings doesn't cost much

I recommend Seymour Duncan Custom Staggered SSL-5 Pickup(smooth rich tone.i bought one for my fender.bridge position) or fender texas special pickups(these have that fender tone,came stock in my fender these are in my neck position and middle position.both are different.Strings DR'S or ernie ballsif he is just learning I recommend lit gauge strings just make sure he is dedicated to playing before you start adding new pickups strings ect....I have seen a lot of nice guitars in closets for years untouched.

I have a 45 year old Martin d-28 I use the extra light strings EJ 15 3 Dbecause I like to fingerpickthey have a very good warm soundif your guitar is fairly new try the light gauge strings they sound very good too and you can buy 3 packs for under $15 at Amazon. D'Addario makes a good string and I find they last a long time. I highly recommend!

I'm pretty sure it's just some generic strings. They are actually pretty decent though, no real reason to change them until they get old.

My grandma bought it for me and I'm already playing. You can purchase new strings online or at any music store that sells instruments. I hope you enjoy your ukulele as much as I do. Alyssa

I bought a Martin Guitar about a year ago and after replacing my several high-end sets, it never sounded as good as when I bought, so I did a little research and found that the guitar I bought came with the Martin Lifespan SP. The next time when I replaced my string with these and I really love the tone. But as many will tell you... it's all kind of subjective and just boils down to what you like, but it I think it would be worth a try!

I would recommend Elixir strings for any acoustic guitar. They're a little more expensive but are well worth it. They do last longer, play a little easier and reduce string talk in a way no other string I've tried comes close.
