Is this nylon strings or steel? I don't see that anywhere. I want steel.

Mine came strung with black nylon strings. These blank nylon strings were ok, but I replaced them in about a week with some clear strings. The clear strings made the uke sound 100 times better. If you're as unsure as I was about how to replace the strings, here is the best video I found to illustrate how to change uke strings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyv7uOiXsbM

They come with steel strings, nylon strings are easier on the fingers in my experience but if he intends to play with steel strings I would just keep the steel on. But if it's just a hobby or something to play around with but you don't want the extreme callouses that come with playing then nylon would be better

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.

I don't know what kind of strings but they are decent. If you are new to the guitar, you will probably want to replace them with some light gauge 'silk and steel' strings, which will be easier on your fingers.

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

this guitar comes with steel strings ,which are correct for this type of instrument. Nylon stings are normally found on classical guitars

I'm pretty sure the stock strings are the GHS Black Nylon strings. The stock strings sounded very dull to me, I changed them out pretty quickly.

So far as I can tell it is a standard magnetic pickup. In other words it requires steel strings. Unfortunately I do not have a nylon string guitar to test it on but it does not "pick up" top vibrations like a "transducer" or sounds in the air like a microphone, but does change volume with changes in distance from steel strings, like all magnetic pickups.

They are steel. On an entirely different note, this is an inferior product and the nylon or plastic strings broke too soon!

They are steel strings. The guitar is a steel string guitar. It comes with a set on the guitar and also an additional pack. My pack of extra strings was the same as the picture, manufactured by Yamaha.

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

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.

I've not played steel strings but my guitar teacher told me to get nylon strings because they are easier to play in terms of your fingers & the callous factor. He also suggested a capo as it made it easier on your fingers.

All-metal strings fall into the generic category of "steel" strings which include steel, bronze, phosphor bronze, etc. Fyi, unlike the LX1, virtually all nylon string guitars have a slotted headstock.

Steel/Bronze wrapped strings on MY guitar ordered over a year ago.... The extra set of strings are Martin & Co. 80/20 Bronze.... Very nice strings and they sound great.
