What kind of strings should you put on an electric solid body ukulele?
Ukulele strings for the appropriate sized ukulele. Sets of strings are made by companies such as Aquilla, Martin, Gibson, D'Addario and others with the correct sizing.
Can you tune your mandolin strings to a guitar tuning?
YesI am a ukulele player and I am going to get a Mandolin. I tune all my ukes to C tuning gcea..even my Baritone uke. I cant see why, when I buy that mandolin, I cant tune the same WITHOUT BUYING MORE STRINGS.ALL STRINGS STAY WHERE THEY ARE EXCEPT YOU SWAP THE TOP 4 STRINGS.ALL STRINGS ARE EITHER THE EXACT RIGHT ONES, or are just one note out! The steel strings can be tuned then to match GCEA without any stress, or tight strings.This way you dont have to learn new chord patterns and I dont think you miss out on any special sound that the mandolin has to offer. I am not an expert- but it makes sense to me ;especially if you are old and dont HAVE to learn a whole bunch of new chords.
Which classical guitar strings would you put on a baritone ukulele in order to a high d gbe tuning without fear of damaging the instrument?
You would use the same strings as on the guitar, but use only nylon strings, not wire. The wire would be higher tension and more likely to damage things.
Can you use nylon black strings baritone ukulele?
Most uke strings are already made of nylon. If you try and use nylon guitar strings of the same note for the ukulele, they will be way too long (you can easily cut them though) and way too thick, and if you put them on the extra tension would probably pull the bridge off. Guitar strings for a specific note are thicker than uke strings. The specific thickness varies with the brand and type. Example: Savarez 520 J classical guitar strings, E=.029, B=.033, G=.041, D=.030. D'Addario Pro Arte uke strings, A=.029, E=.033, C=.041, G=.029. You could use the guitar E string for the G string on an ukulele to match the size and weight and similar substitutions. But do be careful, particularly if you are not familiar with stringed instruments.
Can you put nylon strings on a fender guitar?
no with floyd roses you apparently can but its a waste of money , the pickups and all the other electronics wont produce the proper sound. The alternative is silk and steel strings of course, not EXACTLY nylon but recorded the same guitar part with electric strings (GHS) to D'Addario silk and steel i heard a huge difference.

Can you put acoustic strings on electric guitars?
yes , it'll give you a darker sound because that is the metal bronze characteristic. I suggest nickel or steel strings for an electric guitar to get the pickups to work properly.
Can you put nylon strings on a steel string guitar?
A: This can be very unsafe! The design of nylon string guitars is very similar from steel string guitars. To get the best sound from a guitar there is a balance between length and flexibility. Nylon strings are under less tension than steel strings so the top is made thinner and the internal braces are lighter allowing the instrument to vibrate more, giving you better volume. The extra pressure that steel strings put on a nylon guitar can, over time, cause the top to pull up, cause braces to come loose, and even pull the bridge off the guitar! Also, most nylon string guitars do not have internal neck reinforcement (truss rod) like steel string instruments do. This will cause the neck to pull forward causing the distance of the strings from the fret tops to decrease greatly making the instrument difficult to play. The tuning gear rollers on nylon instruments are also different. They are normally made from plastic which will not support the pressure of the steel strings. The shafts may break under the extra pressure. Good answer. But if you have a guitar that you don't care about, the sound is very tinny. Alright mate, enough of that, alright mate alright mate mate.
What are the best nylon strings for a acoustic guitar?
If you're used to nylon strings, you'll find at first that steel strings can hurt your left hand finger tips and if you're playing without a pick you might even tear off some skin of your thumb (you'll have to go at it pretty hard to actually hurt yourself like that, though).Additionally, steel strings are much thinner, and without callused skin on your left hand it might not be possible for you to press them down all the way at first.Once you're used to it, playing steel strings is no harder or easier than nylon.
What happens when you put nylon strings on an electric guitar?
you really can't because theres no way to hold them in the bridge properly unless you have a Floyd rose. They won't get picked up on the amp though as theres nothing magnetic for the pickups to produce.
Is it possible to convert classic guitar to acoustic guitar?
Not a good idea. The classical guitar is made for nylon strings that put less tension on the bridge than the steel strings used for standard acoustic guitars. It would most likely pull the bridge off the guitar.
Should you change your strings on your new guitar. I have recently bought a guitar and the strings are rusty. Also should I put lemon oil on the fret board?
If you bought the instrument from a retail store, shame on them . Yes, you should get new strings. If you're not sure what gauge or type to get, take the guitar with you and they can measure the strings with a micrometer. Lemon oil is not necessary for the fretboard. Normally, a bit of a cleanup with very fine steel wool.
