Can nylon string be put on this guitar?

Anything is possible, I suppose...but, the bridge is designed for steel strings. IMO, you would need to replace the bridge with a "classical" bridge for standard nylon strings - which would run into $$$. If nylon strings is a "must", I would "pass" on this guitar.

This is a steel string guitar. I am not sure it would sound good with nylon strings. In fact, I don't think I have seen a set that would work with this type of bridge.

No, nylon strings will not work on this guitar. The nut slots are cut for steel strings and the guitar is designed and braced for steel strings. While you could install nylon strings, they would not vibrate the top sufficiently to sound good. If you want a nylon string guitar there are plenty of inexpensive classical guitars available. Those will be designed to sound good with nylon strings.

You could, but this guitar is not intended for that purpose. The tuners are made for the smaller diameter steel strings, and the bridge does not have a tie block that is required. Also, the string spacing is too narrow. Find a good purpose-built nylon string guitar, such as the Yamaha NTX700 instead.

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

I don't see why not. Whether the string is nylon or metal, it still produces vibrations that are magnified by the pickup. I use metal strings on my guitar, but I believe nylon strings would be fine.

I have always used metal strings... but I don't see why it would not work with nylon strings... might have to turn volume up more...I do know that it works very well with my guitar.. some say better than the Dean Markley I have had for 35 years....

The strings are nylon, yes. The guitar is a very well constructed student model, easy to play and tune.

The P/U I have is for steal string guitars. Look on LR Baggs website, they have listed the P/U's for nylon string guitars.

It is an awesome beginner guitar it comes with steel strings which are just fine for beginning. Nylon strings will stretch a few times before they set, the only problem with this is you will find yourself tuning the guitar quite a few times before they have finished stretching. The plus side of nylon strings is they are softer on fingers. If your son finds the steel strings are hurting his fingers you can always replace the steel with nylon.

No. Classic guitars are not designed to handle the tension of steel strings and you will likely damage the instrument. If you want to use steel strings, buy the steel string version.

Hi, it does come with nylon strings. I'm not at sure about care and maintenance manual as I am not at home at this time.

Yes the guitar comes with nylon strings already on the guitar. No, the guitar does not come with a care and maintenance manual. All classical strings are standard the only difference is the color.

The guitar has the strap pin just like any other guitar. To answer your question, No, you can not screw into the guitar body without damaging it. However, like I said I don't see the need. Hope this helps

there are strings designed for this instrument but you can experiment on regular nylon strings. i've never tried it.

This model is for steel string guitars. Although it would work on a nylon string guitar, the EQ voicing is not designed for nylon strings so it will not sound as natural. For a nylon string guitar, use the Anthem SL model, which is specifically voiced for nylon strings:L.R. Baggs ANTHEM-SL Acoustic Guitar Pickup

I would not put steel systems strings on this ukulele. I believe it would be asking for trouble...
