The strings are nylgut strings not nylon as a guitar....they are certainly lighter. I don't know if they are gauged. Due to the C tuning on my ukulele the C string is the heaviest gauge then the E then the A then the G. Pop in the a music store and check them out many ukulele's have Aquila strings on the instrument when purchased.

The guitar comes with nylon strings and it arrives is a box. The guitar itself is wrapped, inside the box, in a light synthetic material, and then again in an outer light plastic wrap to protect the finish of the body. The strings are also wrapped in a long paper cover which runs nearly the length of the neck. I was quite satisfied with the shipping materials used to protect the guitar in transit.

It has 3 steel strings (real ones) and 3 nylon strings. I am a beginner, but I bought this guitar more than a year ago (I think). It has an excellent sound and for what it's worth...I highly recommend it!

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

What they were saying about the strings is that they are steel. which is usually used for more experienced users, because beginners tend to make more mistakes which can cause damage to your fingers. both nylon and steel are going to punish you for your mistakes (which well cause you to grow as a musician) but its just that nylon string aren't as damaging, but harder to tune the reason being they tend to stretch a lot before settling . but if the player serious about playing then most likely they'll eventually upgrade to steel strings any way. So i would just leave the stock strings and let the player of the instrument go ahead and learn with the stock steel strings.

No. On classical guitars, the first 3 strings are nylon and strings 4,5, & 6 are wound. I have been told that wound classical guitar strings are fine silver wire wound around silk, but I have not researched this. The wound strings on this guitar are much lighter (and easier to play) than regular (acoustic) guitar strings, which are all metal (usually steel). I believe the only time you will find all nylon strings will be on a toy guitar, which this guitar is not. Hope this helps.

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.

They are normal classical style acoustic strings, with the lower three strings metal-wound around a fibrous nylon strand core. The tension is therefore set by the nylon, with the metal winding applied primarily to keep the strands together and to protect them from fraying. The higher strings are made of monofilament nylon.

Congrats on receiving one! They look steel, but they are nylon. Well at least mine were nylon, you can tell by the sound if you're familiar with steel string as well as the end's near the sound hole. For new players, steel string "cut" into your fingers much more than nylon. Have fun!

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

steel strings. This is a great starter for my 10 yr. old. we did have to reglue the neck right at the body but that may have been because we tightened the strings too tight. For the price, we were impressed. She now is taking lessons and the guitar still sounds great. She's had it since April and it is still a nice piece. The case for it is good too. I would highly recommend this guitar to any starter!

The Oscar Schmidt OG1 has steel strings. There are no nylon or "plastic" strings on this particular guitar.

This is a steel string guitar. I am not sure it would sound good with nylon strings. In fact, I don't think I have seen a set that would work with this type of bridge.

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

3 and 3... However, all strings are nylon at the core. The low end string are just wrapped in a steel. Not trying to be a snob, just important not to put actual steel acoustic guitar strings on it ever... A classical guitar has no truss rod support in the neck, thus requiring a set of nylon strings for less tension. And yes pretty much all nylon sets are 3 and 3 wound.
