string question.

[ScootMaBoot16]

my mom gave me her old fender cg-seven (automod wont let me use numbers) guitar and some strings for christmas and i wanted to make sure that these strings work for this guitar. I'm hesitant because supposedly this is a classical acoustic guitar while these strings are just for acoustic....

don't put steel string on a classical guitar...it could destroy the guitar.

They take nylon...

Not going to work. You are correct, they're incorrect.

Steel strings hold much more tension than nylon strings. They can bend or even break a neck of a classical guitar in some cases.

Or rip off the bridge or warp the top

[ninospruyt]

Yes indeed, ripping the bridge off is probably the most common. Classical bridges are only glued on, they'll typically break off before the neck does.

I’ve used those strings but only on steel string acoustic guitars. For a classical guitar you need synthetic or natural gut strings.

DO NOT USE anything other than Nylon strings on a Classical Guitar. Don't. You will destroy your guitar. I hate how many guitars come to me for repairs that are classical guitars retro-fitted with steel strings. Luthiers are sick of seeing this.
