Kirk's recommendation of D'Addario Lights and Nanoweb Elixir Lights is a great one. Yamaha ships this guitar with light guage strings, but if you want a fuller sound you could go with medium guage. Thanks!

Ball-end strings are fine for this product. As a professional I would suggest getting a specific set called Dominant. Dominant strings are imported and hand made in Austria which includes a Loop-end E string. This product uses any type of violin string.

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.

Depends on how you want to play it. Steel guitar strings or electric. Electric won't sound as good but it is fun to play.

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.

Strings are delicate, and it can be broke in 1/2 during shipping or tuning. If you just receive the package, please contact your seller for replacement strings. It's always better to have an extra set for back up.

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.

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.

I would personally use 11 starting on e first string. Which would be about a medium. 12's are ok but if you barr chord or bend notes they're kind of heavy. Hope this helps.

Acoustic Guitar - I recommend the D'Addario EJ16-3D. I think these feel good under my finger tips. Electric guitar - I use Ernie Ball Regular Slinky

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!

D'Addario EJ16-3D is a really nice set of stringsThat have a really nice sound to them but you may want more of a medium string it may help more if you just go to their web site and they explain better what strings to use www.daddario.com

This is very subjective, and also varies from one instrument to another. In general, avoid light gauge strings if your after "warm low mellow". Try D'Adario "bluegrass" strings - they sound great on some guitars, particularly for pickers.

You could use whatever your favorite strings are for a classical guitar. It's a standard neck. I never got that far with it. It wasn't what I was looking for. Not a Martin sound quality (didn't expect much from the small body) but mainly it was too heavy/bulky to be useful for me.

I don't remember them including those strings. They're so cheap, I wouldn't recommend them anyway.

I asked my son. I bought these strings for him. He indicated that he wouldn't recommend attempting to tune up as the metal is softer than other strings, although he said that he liked the sound. The strings didn't last long for him.
