Acoustic Guitar - I recommend the D'Addario EJ16-3D. I think these feel good under my finger tips. Electric guitar - I use Ernie Ball Regular Slinky

You didn't say if this is for Electric, Classical, or regular Acoustic guitar. This answer is for the acoustic. The short answer is to get wrapped silk strings. They take less pressure on the bass strings and are thus easier to play. That said, if your guitar doesn't sound good with those, you won't want to practice. I would get something light, like the D'Addario light string and build strength by practicing more often rather than longer at one time.

I think it depends on your preference, but to me, it's not a matter of how the strings sound, but how easy it is to play them. Since I am a beginner, light strings are best for me. My guitar teacher swears by D'Addario.

I purchased the Tonica strings with a ball end. Most strings are offered in both types. Or you may be able to remove the ball end.

I would recommend Elixir strings for any acoustic guitar. They're a little more expensive but are well worth it. They do last longer, play a little easier and reduce string talk in a way no other string I've tried comes close.

That depends on use and care also what bow you have... properly waxed string with smooth waxed rails is the key to them lasting... standard strings are dacron D-50 but newer strings may be made from super braids or othermaterials. I have a string on a bow that is thirty years old but I don't shoot that one much that string is dacron by Ben Pearson. Crossbows are harder on strings than recurve bows. Start with Dacron since you are just beggining I assume, it is the cheapest and most plentiful. Keep the string and rails well waxed and Dacron should last a long time.

Sorry, I haven't changed strings. My teacher did it so I don't know. I will ask him Wednesday 11th june

It is just plain string. No ball or pre-looped string. You have to make a loop with the end of the string tucked underneath the overlapping string. It is not that hard to do. It was my first effort and it worked out perfectly. Just look at the strings you are replacing and follow the same procedure that was used.

Yes the string comes with it. I'm not sure the #. I would buy new string anyways. The stuff that came with it broke easily. Replaced it with 200# line, works much better.

I'm pretty sure it's just some generic strings. They are actually pretty decent though, no real reason to change them until they get old.

This is a steel string model. I bought it for my 17 year old sister with tiny hands. I almost wanted to keep it myself. A trip to the shop for set up will help any minor issues.

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.

It depends. From my local violin shop, if the violin price is less than 400, they suggested to use prelude. If the violin price is more than 1000, dominant strings can be considered.Red label strings are very cheap and the quality is not very good. I use them for my kid's violin ($60). There are professionals using dominant but no professionals use red label. check http://www.violin-strings.com/famous-violinist-string-brands.php

In my opinion, light is easy on the fingers all 6 strings. Medium light still has the easy 1-3 strings, but the lower end E,A,B are a little larger, and carry or more pronounced tone. Medium is just a larger version of the lights. Look at the diameter listed on the strings and this writing will make sense. Tonality, and or how hard you strum, your finger tolerance, all play a role in what you will best like. I prefer medium light, the lower tones sustain longer, and the fingers are not as chewed up on the higher notes.

you can get pretty much any string, and tension guidelines are on the racket. more tension will give you more control and less power, less tension will give you more power and less control (because the strings act as a trampoline). i dont know too much about strings, but the answers probably only a google search away.

Probably only with strings and maybe a pick, but strings are really all you need to get started.

They are high quality strings like from a music store. This is very nice quality, especially for a starter. I am an activities director and have had 2 different muscians use this instrument in their performance. They plated it just fine.
