Members Grant Harding Posted March 9, 2015 Members Share Posted March 9, 2015 I use metal ones mostly. Depends though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katopp Posted March 9, 2015 Members Share Posted March 9, 2015 I would say that you should preferrably replace your strings with the same type of strings that are already on it.Denny Zager can possibly help you with that and he might even have some "String Science" to add to it.Having a Zager ad in your sig might be seen a bit offensive....

Members Emory Posted March 9, 2015 Members Share Posted March 9, 2015 Be sure to put the little skinny ones nearest the floor if holding guitar in normal playing position and big fat ones on the top. If you are Dick Dale you may disregard this advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jamesp Posted March 9, 2015 Members Share Posted March 9, 2015 The D-string is the best string for a beginner. Not too fat, not too skinny, nice wide windings... D is a nice note too. Very beginner friendly. If it's important to focus your energy on perfecting one skill at a time, I can't think of a better string to concentrate on. Good luck!

Members EdBega Posted March 9, 2015 Members Share Posted March 9, 2015 As mentioned it depends but if you are using standard tuning you'll need an E,A,D,G.B and a high e string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Delmont Posted March 10, 2015 Members Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hi, Gary! Welcome to Harmony Central's overly-goofy acoustic guitars forum! If your guitar came with metal strings, get a set of D'Addario phosphor-bronze light-gauge strings. They're very good but not very expensive. Also, get a string winder. The cheap plastic ones last a lifetime and work fine, so don't buy something more expensive. If the music store isn't very busy, someone there will show you how to change strings and how to use the winder. Delwww.thefullertons.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tony Burns Posted March 11, 2015 Members Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hello, I just want to know that which type of guitar string is better for beginner guitarists because I have an acoustic guitar, but I am thinking to change the strings of my guitar. So please give some suggestion. Thanks in advance best acoustic guitars Gary , lights are the way to go , their easier to play than Mediums. coated strings are also good - they last longer ( dont go dead as quick ) their is a couple of youtube ideos on changing strings , as well as the Taylor company site with information on doing that . String brands i trust ( coated) Dadarrio , Elixar and Martin SP's -all in light gauge . Theirs other brands , many are exceptional - but i trust these three and they have been consistant .

Members JT Foote Posted March 12, 2015 Members Share Posted March 12, 2015 What does Denny Zager recommend for "his" guitars? 10's or 11's? Can't be much heavier than that. Probably the 10's, or it will feel funny to the OP. ... JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted March 12, 2015 Members Share Posted March 12, 2015 I think they come from the $ager factory with Dunlop Billy Gibbons Super Fine electric strings on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members garywilson456 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks for the suggestion, but I want to know that is there any kind of strings which provide less stress on my fingers. Thanks best beginner guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MDMachiavelli Posted March 16, 2015 Members Share Posted March 16, 2015 I have used D'Addario on my electrics for years, and because of that I started using them on my acoustics as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FretFiend. Posted March 16, 2015 Members Share Posted March 16, 2015 Easy on the fingers? Zager beginner guitar? New approach, same old schtick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted March 16, 2015 Members Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks for the suggestion, but I want to know that is there any kind of strings which provide less stress on my fingers. Thanks best beginner guitar Yes, you can try lighter gauge strings, if you are playing 12's, go to 11's, if you are playing 11's go to 10, if 10's, try some 9's...... Pretty soon you'll have to switch to electric strings You can try 'silk and steel" strings, they have less tension. You can switch from hex core to round core strings You can down tune one or two semi tones (or more) You can have a Master Luthier adjust your guitar. Lower the action, file the frets You can buy a shorter scale guitar. You can buy a nylon string guitar (or even put nylon strings on your Zager) Or you can just do like the rest of us have done and play the thing until your fingers get tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EdBega Posted March 17, 2015 Members Share Posted March 17, 2015 Stress is just part of it. Anyone who plays regularly will due to the stress on the bones of the fretting hand actually have longer fingers. Mine are a good 1/4" longer on my left hand...

Members FretFiend. Posted March 17, 2015 Members Share Posted March 17, 2015 Get a real guitar with real medium or light strings like all real musicians do and pay your dues toughening up your fingers. Hell even women can do it. Man up and quit fooling with this Zager shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
