Is it possible to request an extra light gage string to be strung when I buy this guitar? Thanks!

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!

I can sell you the strings, but we are a warehouse, and our guys do not restring guitars...I can send it to our retail location, but it would be a $45 bench fee for the guitar tech to do it...

What do you mean by "fix"? The guitar comes with the strings installed. You have to "tune" it yourself (with the use of a tuner).

i don't think you tuned it properly... do not apply too much tension, especially when tuning new strings. after all the stock strings are not good so get a set of good strings and start playing!

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 would take it to a local guitar shop. They'll replace strings and set you up for no more than $5 a string.

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

I personally changed my strings to lighter ones and soon as I got my guitar, and the strings that come on it are pretty bad anyways. But I don't find it all too difficult to play barre chords, my problem is mainly that this is a big guitar and I have small hands. Love it though :)

Congrats on getting a beautiful instrument. The mahogany top will contribute to a "warmer" sound when you find the right strings, but this often involves experimenting with different types of strings. For the most part phosphor-bronze strings are very "bright" sounding when they first go on but lose their "brightness" pretty quickly. Coated strings, like the Martin Lifespan, Elixers, etc., tend to be less "bright" at first but have a remarkably longer lifespan before sounding dull and dead than non-coated strings. Try a coated bronze (not phosphor-bronze) first to see how that sounds to you. Also keep in mind that the lighter the gauge, the less volume and punch the strings are going to have, no matter what kind of guitar you play. You might try non coated strings, also, if you dont mind changing them more often. Ive used a number of different strings on my Martin and tend toward preferring a "brighter" sound, and Im usually eager to try something new, so dont get impatient, and keep notes on which strings work best for you.

You will have to re-string it backwards but it would work. if this his first guitar , use nylon strings and not steel ones. ( easier on the fingers). order strings and re-string when it arrives.

It comes strung and all you have to do is tune it. You can use the computer for tuning. You can get the sounds to play. There were no extra strings as far as I know. I bought this guitar for my son and he has it at his place. Hope this helps and I hope I am right about the strings on there. You might consider contacting the shipper and also check the comments to see if anyone mentions a string issue.

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!

tuning up on standard guitar strings is dangerous, I recommend you get custom gauge strings, that sounds complicated but it's simple enough for you to figure out. hopefully you know you need a smaller string for a higher note at the same tension.

Awwww... That would be a string issue... Probably not a guitar issue. Most people who buy this guitar change out the strings for a better sound. Cheap fix, a coupla bucks.

You don't want to put steel strings on this guitar. Still strings are under greater tension and therefore would destroy this guitar over time. This sounds great with nylon strings.

I just bought one yesterday and it had D'Addario strings on it. I changed them to Fender Ultra Lights and it sounds great! Love it!

Hi,I understand the question but I recommend speaking to whoever is going to sell you the string about this. A major sports supermarket has qualified technicians who can give you free advice on the string type and tension (mine was medium) . Hope this helps.
