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

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.

It has 3 steel strings (real ones) and 3 nylon strings. I am a beginner, but I bought this guitar more than a year ago (I think). It has an excellent sound and for what it's worth...I highly recommend it!

It's a nylon material and they are pretty easy on the fingers. We recommend children who start wanting to play a stringed instrument start on a uke like this because it's easier on their fingers (and easier to learn than guitar). A great instrument on it's own, and as a stepping stone to other stringed instruments.

Yes, you can string this guitar with nylon strings. It is braced for steel strings, so you might not get the optimum sound out of it. Rule of thumb is this: you can re-string any steel string guitar with nylon strings. However, guitars braced for nylon strings (which provide less tension on the body and neck) may not be able to support the increased tension of steel strings. I hope this helps... Good luck and keep on rockin'!!

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

I am not sure what they are made of, but they seem to be a blend of a rubberized nylon. They work well, don't slip even when swinging in the hammock, and are durable. I am glad I bought the 2 pairs I did since it makes 'hammocking' easier.

The 3 bass (E, A and D) strings of all classical "nylon" guitar string sets are wire wound. They are talking about those wire windings (over nylon fibers) of those three being silver-plated. The 3 treble strings (G, B and high E) are just nylon.

The Blue Steel strings are steel but most likely plated in Nickel or Bronze. It's hard to come by plain stainless steel strings but in my humble opinion plain stainless steel sounds better than anything else. That's all I've used on my basses for the past 25 years. They're a little harder to find and a bit more expensive but well worth the effort and price. Warwick makes a great set of SS strings and the last time I got them I had to have them imported from England. Check out Ebay they usually have them and for a decent price.

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

Steel strings.... Really a nice guitar and great tone. I would highly recommend!

When I bought it a year ago it was steel. Light weight steel strings I believe (easy on the fingers but the quality of sound suffers a little).

No!, this guitar is steel string, classical guitars are the ones that use only nylon strings.

I'm not 100 % sure.. It like a nylon, kind of stretchy. They are not very good quality.

I think they are nylon. Stood up well to harsh Florida sun and rain fo a year, although they did fade noticeably. Still working though.
