I'm looking for extra strings for my new Les Paul Special II. I'm buing guitar from amazon, it costs $149. Are this strings compatible?

You're buying a $150 guitar, get regular slinky. They help build up some strength. Only worry about the strings when you have a nicer guitar. T

Short answer, yes they should be fine. Long answer, the comparability between strings and guitars doesnt matter, its the string slots that in the nut that matter. The les Paul's usually use bigger strings anyway.

You're not going to damage it. Those are standard strings. I use them with all of my guitars. Trust me, you're good. If you want to ask me some questions about getting started, post your email in a response and I will happily guide you through it.

Hi Asaac, as far as quality, yes, but you need to make sure it's the right size. Find the Humming Bird's nut width and see if Graph Tech makes one in that size. If it's the same width and string spacing as a Les Paul...buy it. I am very happy with this nut. Adds a lot more sustain than a cheap plastic nut, and much cheaper than a real bone nut. Careful with your filing at the first fret string height though!

all Ive ever used is steel strings, I don't know why you could not use nylon strings, cant put steel on a nylon only guitar

I have an Epi Les Paul, and these are actually the same tuners that came on it when I bought it. So they'll definitely fit! They stay in tune super well, too.

It would depend on the model...these fit in most Gibson's such as SG, 335, and basic models of Les Paul's but Gibson's do offer different pick-ups on the more expensive models...but if you order be advised it took 30 days for me to get them because they ship from China...

I recommend Seymour Duncan Custom Staggered SSL-5 Pickup(smooth rich tone.i bought one for my fender.bridge position) or fender texas special pickups(these have that fender tone,came stock in my fender these are in my neck position and middle position.both are different. Strings DR'S or ernie balls if he is just learning I recommend lit gauge strings just make sure he is dedicated to playing before you start adding new pickups strings ect....I have seen a lot of nice guitars in closets for years untouched.

Not sure exactly what you mean by "regular strings" . . . Martin recommends Extra Light strings only, that is obviously because of the construction of the guitar.

Mine came with the Epiphone Les Paul LTD Special II. A Fantastic Starter guitar. Just love mine. Great package deal and everything came as advertised. Only issue is the practice amp though works well does leave a little to be desired in the sound department. I ordered the all black model but sure you will get the color requested.

I don't know, Luis. The guitar I mean to put them into is a Les Paul copy (no name on the headstock) that I picked up many years ago at a pawn shop. I've still yet to get around to installing them. I'm sorry to be of no help to you.

I use them on my accoustc/electric and they work great. There are strings made for strictly electric guitars.

Since squire woods are not the best, you would have great result going for a Seymour Duncan pre-wound shield. Sounds great. As for strings, I'd gonfor d'addarios. Very comfortable, great sound and not expensive. Best of luck for him! Frank

I used mine on an Epiphone SG, which is made in China.It fit that fine, but, I can't say for sure it'll fit your Les Paul.Some of the reviews I've read say it'll fit.Hey, for ten bucks, roll the dice, dude.Ya know?

I have purchased two epiphone les Paul specials from music 123 via amazon. Both played perfectly right out of the box. These are the best "cheap" guitars I have ever owned. (I own a vintage guitar shop).

Not sure. I purchased this for my grandson who picked it out for a special occasion. We brought it into a local music store and purchased a backup set up strings. All were standard.

I would not buy expensive strings for a cheap guitar. Buying expensive strings will not change the sound that much

Strings can be purchased for this guitar at various places online - usually in sets. Not sure where you can buy single strings for 1/2 sized guitars online. If you need just the one string, try a local music store. Just a thought.

George, I can't answer that question as I have already traded that guitar in on a new one. It was, however, a great sounding 12-string with surprising quality for such a low price. The only reason I traded it is because Ovations seem to be easier on my neck. I must be getting old. Fyi, my Ovation hangs mostly on my wall. 12-strings are hard to play and will take persistence to master. But they sound great. Good luck.
