Is this a nylon or a steel string guitar?

Regular steel strings. It is a nice set, however, mine didn't come with extra strings. But it is still a great value.

This was designed to be a STEEL STRING guitar. Personally, if I were looking for a classical NYLON STRING guitar for around $100.00, then I would look at a HOHNER, they make good quality instruments.

Yes it is a metal string acoustic guitar. I am not sure if the metal is steel but I would assume so. And it is indeed very beautiful

It's a classical guitar so it doesn't have a truss rod and thus cannot handle the tension of steel strings. Use nylon strings.

It came with steel strings and I've been using Martin Light Acoustic Strings. Sounds great, resonates better than my Fender Acoustic.

Steel string, and what an awesome little guitar. Sounds better than the Baby Martin.

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

No, most nylon string guitars do not use a truss rod in the neck and the HC06 is no exeption. You can put nylon strings on a steel string guitar, but you can't put steel strings on a nylon string guitar because the construction is lighter. You can warp or twist a nylon string neck if using incorrect stringing methods.

It is steel. And honestly the guitar is great for a beginner all around. The steel strings seem nice and strong.

The link that you provided, is not loading on Amazon. Taylor does make a nylon string Grand Auditorium, but I think that it's just the same guitar, sold for two different prices. We will beat any price. Thanks.

It is an Epiphone 12-string acoustic guitar. I have one and can say it's a great, value-priced instrument. I got one last year from Sam Ash Music via Amazon for only $160.

Yes, they are steel strings. Rather unusual feeling ones at that. But don't let that discourage you, they sound absolutely lovely!

They are not nylon...I don't know if it is steel, but they are a metal material...it also came with extra strings, mine actually had 2 extra sets and 2 picks

I'm not 100% positive but I think this is a magnetic pick up and I don't think it will work with nylon strings.

All-metal strings fall into the generic category of "steel" strings which include steel, bronze, phosphor bronze, etc. Fyi, unlike the LX1, virtually all nylon string guitars have a slotted headstock.

I've not played steel strings but my guitar teacher told me to get nylon strings because they are easier to play in terms of your fingers & the callous factor. He also suggested a capo as it made it easier on your fingers.

No. On classical guitars, the first 3 strings are nylon and strings 4,5, & 6 are wound. I have been told that wound classical guitar strings are fine silver wire wound around silk, but I have not researched this. The wound strings on this guitar are much lighter (and easier to play) than regular (acoustic) guitar strings, which are all metal (usually steel). I believe the only time you will find all nylon strings will be on a toy guitar, which this guitar is not. Hope this helps.
