Strings for a parlor guitar...?

Question

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but does a parlor guitar use the same size strings as a regular guitar??

Answer 1

Be forewarned. All guitars are different and require different kinds of stings in different guage thickness. The best bet is to simply take the guitar to your music store and ask them for the proper stings to use. The wrong strings on a guitar can make it very hard to play..and can even destroy it it the guitar is aged and needs thinner guage strings. There are hundreds of kinds of different stings to fit thousands of kinds of guitars...a reliable music center will know what is best.

Answer 2

You'll need Acoustics - 80/20 or Phosphor/Bronze "Medium Lights" starting at 12's.  13s or 14s are too heavy for a Parlor.

The length is standard.

Answer 3

Yes.....all guitars use the same string. Classic 3/4 and full size use the same nylong strings as well as electric and acoustic guitars.

They are longer but you still have to cut them one way or another.
