There are a few good videos on YouTube 're: tuning and setting bridge. I really had to crank on the bottom (high note) strings to tune.

Mine didn't come in tune but the package comes with a tuner, so if you read the instructions, you should be able to tune it. You could also find an online free guide that helps you to tune a guitar. I hope this helps!

This guitar only has the set of strings it came with and they may be or may not be the ones you need. We don't know that much about guitars. Thanks!

I changed tunings for steel tunings, I placed steel strings and it works fine.

Try another tuner. There's a good free phone app -- I think it's called G-strings. If that's not the actual name, then it's the top app when you search guitar tuners. Good luck.

Teacher had to put bridge on, tune, and tighten the strings. So no it's not exactly ready to go but I have had stings replaced/ tuning at local music store for cheap so think they could set it up also. We are having issue with strings loosening but told the cold weather can cause this.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, but in order for the strings to learn how to keep tune, you will have to continuously tune the strings. It may take a few days until it can hold perfect tune. Mine happen to keep tune within the first couples days. Just like any stringed instrument, the more you use it, the better the sound. Good luck and just be patient

Strings are delicate, and it can be broke in 1/2 during shipping or tuning. If you just receive the package, please contact your seller for replacement strings. It's always better to have an extra set for back up.

Yes, this is normal. It takes time for new strings to stretch out. This happens any time you change strings and it's true for guitars, ukes, basses etc... If you are careful and don't just yank or rip at them, you can lightly pull each individual string up to help break it in quicker by laying the uke on your lap or on a table with the strings up and put your finder under he drying about half way between the top of the neck and the bottom and just pull up on the string and hold it for about 10-30 seconds. Don't pull pull until it feels like it will snap just tug a little depending on the which string. The thick strings you might be able to pull a half inch and the thinner strings maybe a quarter inch do this for each string a couple times. Re-tune all the strings and do this 3 or four times and you should notice it going out of fine less and less each time. After a few times just start playing it and you will notice that it stays in tune much better. After a few days if playing, the neck and strings should be fully broken in and you should be able to go anyway where between a few days and weeks without really needing to tune it again (more or less time depending on how often you play it and how hard you strum)

If I'm understanding what you're saying you can try filing the string slots or remove the nut and try to sand down the back of it or buy and install a new nut. These repairs require experience. If you're not comfortable doing them bring the guitar to someone that is. It's not that expensive. Good luck!

I do not play, I got this as a gift for my nephew and I did buy him new strings, but I am not certain what kind they were, I will contact him and find out. It sounds great.

Just received a Mandolin A style, I know nothing about them. I am looking for a tuner & maybe a mike for it. ???. I ordered new strings & a strap. Tried tuning from YouTube, not working for me. Got some help from my son, but he is just learning to play the guitar himself. It has a plug, but I just want to learn to play without the acoustic sound. Any advice ??? Thank You Brenda.

Can be a common problem! Tune the instrument above standard tuning and play it for a while. The strings are still stretching; then tune it to standard and keep it in tune. Usually the strings start to stay in tune better. (Use a tuner. You can purchase them for less than $20.)

No the strings won't be tuned I'd advise in getting a tuner especially since it being new strings they won't stay tuned for long. But eventually they stay tuned.

When I bought it for my girlfriend and tried it out, it wasn't tunned up... But tunning it up is easy. Get your mobile and go to the playstore or apple store and download the app called "Guitar Tuna"... It's a great app to tune your guitar and it teaches you a Lot of chords on the guitar. Hope this helps. God bless
