what is the sting length, do I need to purchase special strings?

58" to the lower tuning peg and 60" to the top peg. Haven't bought new ones yet, so sorry, but I don't know if they are special made.

The strings are standard length...in fact the fingerboard is exactly the same as a standard bass.

long bow string lengths are supposed to be at least 3" shorter than bow length nock-nock. you can go 2.5" or up to 4" but these lengths will affect you your brace height and string tension. if you want higher brace go with 4" shorter and more strands than your draw weight needs. personally i'd say never go for a lower brace than what you get at 3" shorter string though. too much wrist slap.

You have to pick the length to add it to your cart. 54" is listed. The number of strands should be matched to the draw weight. I'm no expert but both the 14 and 16 strand strings work fine on my 50# draw bear recurve.

It comes strung and all you have to do is tune it. You can use the computer for tuning. You can get the sounds to play. There were no extra strings as far as I know. I bought this guitar for my son and he has it at his place. Hope this helps and I hope I am right about the strings on there. You might consider contacting the shipper and also check the comments to see if anyone mentions a string issue.

It does come pre-strung. I don't know exactly what gauge they are, but I believe I've read other places that they're kind of a standard medium gauge. As a total beginner, I found them a little tough on my fingers, so I replaced them with the D'Addario light phosphor/bronze (http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000OR2RNM) and it made a huge difference. Much easier to play.

The picture is the EXP 17, which is a medium gauge. 13-56. The item description is the EXP16 as noted by the sizes listed, 12 to 54 (light). Have the seller verify the item. It could also be that strings were changed from 17's to 16's, and the old strings (16) were placed in the 17's packaging. Either way, verity before you buy.

Not sure exactly what you mean by "regular strings" . . . Martin recommends Extra Light strings only, that is obviously because of the construction of the guitar.

It is really depends from time to time. Some times strings come broken and pieces are really shore , like 4 to 5 inches , or even shorter... Other times strings are long and nice - up to 30 - 32 inches long. It probably depends on the freshness, the fresher ones a long, they seems to be softer too. Hope it helps.

It does come with string. 75ft I believe. You might want to get a bigger spool though.

This is in fact a 5 string. Amazon has the incorrect photo in their catalog. Thanks! ~The Music Farm 330-546-7076

As flat_tire says it's a full size dreadnought. There are lots of strings on the market, various gauges and sound characteristics determined by materials and production method. The stock strings are fine. When it comes time to change them use D'Addario EJ16 or EJ15 depending on how light you want the strings to be.

It is 216" with 24 7-foot (drop) strings set @ 9" apart. If you buy this, make sure they work asap. Be aware That the wire by each light may rust of you use this outdoors.

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.

WITH THIS BASS, ALWAYS GET SUPER LONG STRINGS!String gauge is a matter of personal taste and playing style. Remember, every guitar needs to be setup for a particular string gauge to ensure proper tonation and neck tension. If you are wanting a sharp, slap bass sound, I suggest round wound strings. Much brighter sound but harsher on your fingers and the fretboard. If you want a smooth, low tone, flatwound strings are the way to go. Much softer to the touch and easier on your fretboard.

Yes, it does! I cannot recall the strings length though. Your son will thoroughly enjoy this kit.

I have purchased two cat toys which consist of a 3 ft. long stick and a string, one having a feather at the end and the other having a "mouse" at the end. Both strings now have knots in them from rigorous use. I measured the string to be about 2 1/2 ft long. I also have to mention that I have had to retie the string to the "end" toys because the toys were pulled off a couple of times. I hope this information is helpful to Bengalmom.

Yes. I purchased 0.65 string at a big box store. Buy the best grade. It will last 3 times as long.
