if you put heavier strings on ,are the any adjustments that would be required? I have no knowledge of set up procedures.

You may have to recut the nut, depending how heavy you go. You should probably seek professional advice if you are unfamiliar with set up.

Heavier strings have a higher tension so they will pull on the neck harder thus raising the action. Once you put the heavier strings on, you will likely need to tighten (turn clockwise) the truss rod in the neck to counter the higher tension of the heavier strings. Look down the strings from the bridge like a gun barrel to see the slope in the neck (action).

When I purchased my strings, I noticed that they were too long for my bow. What I did was take the string and tie little knots in them to shorten it. It does not harm the bow or alter the integrity of the string. I hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend it unless you know whether or not screwing the body will affect the sound in any way... My solution to this was to take a shoe string (matching the body so it's not as noticeable) and to tie it on the base of the headstock and through one end of the strap. It works perfectly well and doesn't involve mutilating your guitar, unless of course you know what you're doing, then disregard my message :)

They might be a little long, but should be fine. I put concert Aquila strings on mine, with a low G.

yes, new strings will stretch. It may take a week or more of tuning before it settles down.. If it doesn't there could be an issue with the strings or the lugs slipping but Cordoba (and other guitar makers) are pretty good about checking things like that before shipping/selling... If it continues to be an issue take it to a guitar tech for a look and a lesson in restringing (you will eventually have to put new strings on the instrument)

Sounds like you are stringing it the opposite way you should. As you tighten the string it should put tension on the whammy bar. Our guitar turned out great and plays good. Great guitar.

It certainly could be, especially if you changed string gauge without filing the nut. Another culprit could be an incomplete setup. Check this out:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7luUzgDwwcs

It probably is possible, but you would have to realize there are no pegs and you'd have to "weave" the end to hold it. The grooves for the strings might be too narrow.

I am not an expert but it is my understanding not to attach two 16.5 foot strings together (end to end). They may over heat and not work properly. Each string needs its own controller and/or power supply. Hope this helps.

There is no particular setting for it, but no reason why it would not work. It will really work for any stringed instrument.

Regular strings work just fine. I don't know the gauge off the top of my head but I know they are very light strings.

good question my only concern would be the locking nut screw lengths due to the size of these strings. As long as they are long enough I would think they would be fine. The floyd will definatley have to be adjusted.

I brought ithem to my childrens music teacher and had her tune them and make sure all was right so that they could play them out of the box Christmas morning. They did need to be tuned, I am not sure if she had to adjust the bridge.

I really don't know, I changed the strings as soon as I got the guitar, suggest you do same, choosing some strings and brands you favor

The banjo did not come set up with the strings & bridge in place. The delivery and packaging was excellent and it only took a few minutes to set up the bridge, tailpiece height, and string tension to my liking. I hope that helps! Good luck.

I think you'd have to put longer strings and they're narrow and wouldn't be too comfy I don't think.Could prob right some back pack straps on it

I haven't tried to adjust it at all. I have not made shoe string, but the larger fries. I'll look at the directions when i get home and see if it is adjustable.
