Are all the strings plastic or do they have steel strings?

They are steel strings & they hold up nicely. In the 3.5 months we've had the guitar, it gets used about 120 minutes/week and haven't broken a string yet!

They are all steel strings---the lower 2 are regular steel---the upper 4 are steelbut are a thicker twisted like steel and have a copper color. The tone is wonderful. I was so amazed with the quality and construction for this price. The finish is beautiful. Its' a keeper. Marilyn

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

This is a steel string model. I bought it for my 17 year old sister with tiny hands. I almost wanted to keep it myself. A trip to the shop for set up will help any minor issues.

Its all steel. Though as my review indicated, I bought this item for only $55. I noticed that the price is way higher now. I guess it was a "steel" for me!

They are not nylon...I don't know if it is steel, but they are a metal material...it also came with extra strings, mine actually had 2 extra sets and 2 picks

sorry took so long to respond, but yes they are plastic. However, it is very sturdy just like any other Little Tikes outdoor toy. Very durable. Hope this helped.

As the previous person noted, metal and plastic. Do you want to buy my set? My husband used for about two weeks after surgery, they are in excellent condition.

It is steel. And honestly the guitar is great for a beginner all around. The steel strings seem nice and strong.

I just checked my set and the pulleys are all metal no plastic to be found. Hope this helps

It came with steel strings and I've been using Martin Light Acoustic Strings. Sounds great, resonates better than my Fender Acoustic.

My husband bought these for a sales event. I'm sorry to say that he can't remember if they were plastic or metal.

The ones that came with my set were not plastic. I'm not sure of the metal makeup but I'm positive they were not plastic.

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.

They definitely aren't plastic. I'm not sure if they're stainless steel but they are some kind of shiny, steel-like metal. They're actually pretty sturdy.

They are standard steel strings, just like any other strings (Fender, Gibson, Ernie Ball), except with colors. So they fit any acoustic, electric or acoustic-electric steel string guitar.

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...

They are completely plastic. Great toy. My little boy (2-1/2 yrs old) LOVES it. He plays with it quite a bit.

They are plastic, and they hold up well. I wasn't sure I wanted plastic, but they work great.

They are all plastic. No metal. After some use they rust. Will not last long. They only turn on with motion. So if your stopped they will not be on.

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.
