If you like a light, bright, downright vivid string these are for you. I have enjoyed heavier strings for other uses but these are superior quality. Ernie Ball excels in customer service. When I needed to purchase an extra .009 single string I emailed them because I couldn't find any for sale at a reasonable price. They quickly shipped me one along with some complimentary picks and stickers. Makes you feel special when someone goes out of their way to keep the customer happy. They had no idea who I was or how many guitars I need strings for and they treated me with the utmost class and service. That is how you earn buyer loyalty. I am so used to our "fast food" culture where no one cares if they provide quality or service; this was a most welcome surprise. Way to go guys! Review: Would buy again. - Nice sounding strings.

Would it cause the neck to bow?** A: Your guitar will be damaged on a classical with steel strings. Classical guitars necks are not built for steel they are built for nylon strings. Your neck will bow and warp **Q: Are the first 3 strings nylon?** A: No, they are plain steel as in other acoustic sets. Nylon would only be found on classical sets. **Q: What would be the best string size to use on a used acoustic guitar to be played by a 9 year old boy?** A: The lighter the guage...the easier to bend. The easier to bend...the harder to control. Since its an acoustic guitar, i would start with 10's ...try .10 to .46. Thats a pretty standard guage. He should be able to tell if he would like a smaller guage in which case go to 9's. Better yet....take him to a guitar shop and let him try some different guage strings. If hes just strumming, he may like the 10's. When hes ready for more sophisticated play, and until his hands get larger and stronger, he may need the 9's. Happy playing! **Q: Can I put nylon strings on a guitar that use to have metal?** A: You can. You will need to do a neck adjustment to makeup for the lower tension. These strings are metal that the question was asked under. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strings, great company *by M***N on 7 September 2015* Ernie Ball is my new favorite string company.
