Hi Joseph,It is strung with steel string ready for tuning and playing. I cannot tell you the gauge, I am a total beginner.I bought it after my guitar (Washburn) fell and the head came off... which I stuck back on. I like the Fender, though the strings are higher off the fret at the body.

It does come pre-strung. I don't know exactly what gauge they are, but I believe I've read other places that they're kind of a standard medium gauge. As a total beginner, I found them a little tough on my fingers, so I replaced them with the D'Addario light phosphor/bronze (http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000OR2RNM) and it made a huge difference. Much easier to play.

Beautiful guitar, this far exceeded my expectations and blew me away at the price. The guitar comes pre-strung but I got it as a present for my wife and am not musically talented so I do not know more about the gauge of the strings

It came with strings on it and I guess they are the normal gauge strings as a regular guitar.

it is a six string guitar. the g, b, and high e strings are nylon. the low e, a, and d strings are nylon wrapped in metal. and the guitar comes with the 6 strings

It does come with strings already on it. Some people complain about the strings but I have not had any issues.

3 and 3... However, all strings are nylon at the core. The low end string are just wrapped in a steel. Not trying to be a snob, just important not to put actual steel acoustic guitar strings on it ever... A classical guitar has no truss rod support in the neck, thus requiring a set of nylon strings for less tension. And yes pretty much all nylon sets are 3 and 3 wound.

Three strings are a bit thicker, but they are nylon. Our guitar teacher recommended this guitar for that reason. It works very well.

Yes -- all new guitars come with strings. They might not be the best strings, but if you need to ask the question (no disrespect intended), they will probably be just fine until you reach the point where you're ready to look for something special. Note, however, that it does not come with other accessories, except for a neck adjustment wrench, which I would urge you NOT to use yourself. You will probably want to buy a case or at least a padded gig bag.

yes it comes pre-stringed with a tuner. In my opinion, this this feels like a toy and kind of sounds like one too. I think if a person wants a really good quality built & sounding instrument, you need to spend several hundred dollars. This is the second under a $100 mandolin I have bought off Amazon. I returned the first one due to quality, or lack thereof. They market these as actual great sounding and playing units but they are not. They are inexpensively built with inexpensive materials and they will never hold a tune for this reason. Good product for kids but pony up and spend a few hundred on one for an adult. yes it comes pre-stringed with a tuner. In my opinion, this this feels like a toy and kind of sounds like one too.

It comes with steel strings. I suggest buying some better strings when you purchase it, but that's just my opinion. If you have high performance expectations like you'll get from a Martin or Takamine, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for a decent travel size guitar that holds a tune, then you'll be fine.

I would take it to a local guitar shop. They'll replace strings and set you up for no more than $5 a string.

Jumbo frets. But you should research setting a guitar neck before you buy. I ran into much trouble with mine. P.S. Don't forget always pre-drill holes in wood. and the string (bone) hold on the neck before it gets to the machine heads must be filed down to fit the strings inside it properly. And do not forget about truss rod adjustment. Alot of work for this neck if you choose to try doing this yourself. Just thought you should know. I threw in the towel and ended up buying a new guitar.

The strings are okay. The high E could be a little better though. If you are looking to buy this guitar I would recommend that you change the strings once you get accommodated to the feel of the instrument.The strings are pretty good quality for a 30 dollar guitar and they are playable.

I have absolutely no idea what strings came with the guitar. When I buy a new guitar I always discard the factory installed strings and string it with Ernie Ball #9. I have used those strings for years and they are so comfortable I never used factory strings on any. I have a Fender Jaguar, Gretsch DE and Gibson Les Paul, all with Ball strings.

I believe it does come pre strung. I had mine redone right away so I am not sure what the information on it was. It had nylon strings.

Honestly, I purchased this for my daughter and I have no idea what kind of strings it came with. All I can tell you is that she loves it.
