Does it take nylon or steel strings?

We have steel strings. The strings that come with the guitar are fine. My in-laws (the martin family band) were in the house the other day and upgraded the strings which definitely improved the tone (richer) and reduced the necessary finger pressure on the frets.This guitar is primarily used by my 15 year old daughter who has small hands.

I suppose you could put either on it but it is designed to be a steel string guitar

It takes steel strings. I asked my sons guitar teacher for you and that is what he said. Hope this helps :-).

Very cheap nylon. I'm not sure because I threw mine out right after I received it. Piece of junk. Don't buy.

It's a lightweight nylon. Much better quality than the plastic ones that easily rip. I love mine!

Yes. The nylon strings don't hurt as much, but keep in mind that the sound is quite different.

They are all nylon strings, however the 4th through 6th string are nylon wound with a metal fiber.

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.

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.

I think it comes with nylon strings, though I don't really know what a pickup is.

The strings are nylon,as on any traditional classical guitar.If you try and fit steel strings to it you will damage the appearance and structure of the instrument.It's a good instrument for the money.

It's a classical guitar so it doesn't have a truss rod and thus cannot handle the tension of steel strings. Use nylon strings.

Anywhere, Amazon if you like. There are so many styles to choose from. It all depends on personal sound and comfort preference. This model will take steel strings. Other smaller models will only take nylon. I found that silk and nickle wound strings are gentle on little fingers.

This pickup is specifically designed for steel string guitars. The nylon string version is called the "Pure Classic", which has four sensors. You cannot use the Pure Mini (3 sensor) model on a nylon string guitar because there is a center brace that runs right across the bridge plate, which would not allow you to position the "middle" sensor. The Pure Classic has four sensors -- two on each side of the center brace, and has higher output to compensate for the lower mechanical resonance of a nylon string guitar.

Chris is right. As best I can tell, "N" = Nylon, "NW" = Nylon Wide and "S" = steel. If you're a classical player, you want the NW.

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.

Steel strings. I bought this guitar for a beginner and find that it holds a good tuning for a long time. Would definately recommend for a beginner...
