Thread Name: Strings for small guitars?
Subject: RE: Strings for small guitars?
I had exactly the same question two months ago. I had bought a small guitar, and the clerk had told me it was a half-size classical.
When it came time to change the strings, I peered into the body, found the model number and googled it. That brought up a catalog page from the company which distributes the guitar.
It is in fact a 3/4 size classical. (It measures 54.8 cm from nut to bridge.) Next I called the company and talked to a knowledgeable person who said to use the usual strings (EADGBE) and normal tension.
The guitar makes a lot of music for its small size.
Perhaps you can do some similar detective work, Greg.
