Do not know what came on it but I put daddario EJ20 on it and it was a big improvement.

I do not know for sure, but I'd recommend light strings to further emulate a real banjo.

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 recommend Medium tension when starting out. Here is a good explanation as relates to the sound of these three string gauge-tension types: http://www.johnsonstring.com/strings-gauges-tensions.htm#middle

Factory strings on a guitar are like factory tires on a new car, Just good enough to get it sold. They are many string options that would be lighter and smoother. I noticed the one's shipped on mine are to heavy for my liking and changed to ernie ball super slinky acoustic version strings. Made a huge difference for me, but I use ernie ball on all my guitars usually in the super slinky variety. If your new to the guitar buy a few different brands from martin, d'addario or ernie ball and find some you like.

The string that came with it were just okay. I play on a regular basis so I have extra strings and I just added some peg drops to the tuners. As with any new instrument it just needed a bit of use and it is great!!

If you know how long the Horton string is supposed to be and the lengths match, go for it. If it doesn't work, sell it on Amazon! LOL

These are great strings ; I have only used them on my Martin Dreadnaught..I'm no expert but ,in my opinion ' you only use steel strings of any kind on steel string instruments....for a real expert opinion, why not e-mail Martin guitar company Nazareth Penn. Good luck Bob J.

Regular strings work just fine. I don't know the gauge off the top of my head but I know they are very light strings.

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!

You can buy replacement strings that fit I found some on this site. They come in a set of three.

I can't answer that question. The guy who made my guitar told me what strings to use and so I buy them only. I believe I am using the EXP strings. Light guage and they are nice enough for a player like myself.

Not sure. I purchased this for my grandson who picked it out for a special occasion. We brought it into a local music store and purchased a backup set up strings. All were standard.

Hello Itsvan. You can try contact Sperzel to see if they will direct sell them individually. We do not sell, nor could I find on the Internet, a set of tuners specifically for an 8 string. I would try calling Sperzal, they have great tuners AND American made! They mave have a solution for you. They can be reached at 216-281-6868.

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.

What a personal question. The disclaimer here, of course, is that what one player loves another loathes. I can only tell you what I have found to be best for me. If I am looking for a very vibrant, sharp "new" sound I will use a medium gauge nickel-wound .45-.130. But my preference for this bass, quite surprisingly, is a set of D'Addario Black Beauties .45-.125. Set aside the fact that they look cool as hell, that's not enough to warrant the price or induce a recommendation. For my playing style (technical, melody-based with a plectrum) the fact is they reduce to almost nothing any finger noise and there is a grip to them that I have never found in non-coated strings. Hope this helps.

Hi Joseph,It is strung with steel string ready for tuning and playing. I cannot tell you the gauge, I am a total beginner.I bought it after my guitar (Washburn) fell and the head came off... which I stuck back on. I like the Fender, though the strings are higher off the fret at the body.
