Ist guitar

Hello,

After months of nagging from my 11-year-old son, I just bought him his 1st guitar. I bought him the cheapest of cheap (in case it ends up being another toy) ¾ size acoustic guitar. Now please bear in mind I know more about under water slug juggling than guitars so my questions may seem stupid. When I opened the guitar it was strung with 3 steel strings and 3 nylon. The steel being the thinker ones. Is this normal? Will I still be able to get it in tune with different types of strings? Which type are the best?

I appreciate I’m not going to get much for the price I paid but a little knowledge will help.

Thanks in advance,

Me…

Hi me.

All is well, the Universe is unfolding as it should ... the three bass strings on nylon string guitars are, in fact, nylon strands wound with steel wire.

lol!

and I have no clue about nylon string guitars... the guitar came in a box? cause you said "when I opened the guitar" so that gave me the impression that it came in a box... weird... but you get what you pay for, most of the time.


Life is like a box of chocolates, it\'s good but it ends quick, especially if you\'re fat! :)
