<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 2133527, member: 55&quot;]Glad your son likes guitars; it certainly has been a life-long interest for me. </p><p>Some thoughts on strings: there isn&#039;t actually any difference between electric guitar strings and other steel strings; some strings may be flat-wound, and some players of electric guitars like those; but they can be used on any guitar that is set up for steel strings.&nbsp; Likewise, some players of electric guitars like lighter gauge strings; but those can be used on acoustic steel strings as well.</p><p>Your son should use steel strings, in whatever gauge he prefers; I&#039;ve favored medium-gauge on all my steel-string guitars, but many players find that gauge to be heavier than they like, and will use light or medium-light.&nbsp; In my opinion, medium gives a better sound, but is harder to play; the lighter gauges often do not sound as good to my ears, and the same is true of flat-wound strings, again just my opinion.&nbsp; Many players will use a lighter gauge on their electrics than they would on their acoustic guitars.</p><p>Also, one would not normally put nylon strings on any steel-string or arch-top guitar like this one; but it would not hurt it.</p><p>On the other hand, putting any sort of steel strings on a classical (nylon-string guitar) is a very bad thing, likely to warp the neck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
