Nylon String

can you put nylon strings on a steel string acoustic guitar?

nylon sounds alot better but i want to keep the acoustic i have now. Is it proper to put nylon on an acoustic guitar meant for steel strings?

As others have said, it is not recommended because the steel-string neck is meant to handle the tension of steel strings, and nylon strings have much less tension. It won’t do any immediate damage, especially if you loosen your truss rod a full turn or two to compensate. But if you keep the nylon strings on for too long your neck may twist or warp irreversibly.

I don’t recommend doing it, but if you want to try it anyway, get nylon strings with ball ends (Martin makes Darco strings with ball ends, and there are also Black Diamond strings with ball ends).

Putting nylon strings on a steel-string guitar is not nearly as bad as putting steel strings on a nylon-string guitar — whatever you do, don’t do that!

Music Review: Kenny G, “Heart and Soul”
Kenny G and his trusty Selmer Mark VI soprano saxophone have been fluttering over instrumentals since his self-titled debut in 1982. Heart and Soul marks his 13th studio album, and not much has changed from those beginnings, and that’s just what the G-Man intended.

Land of Enchantment

I grew up playing rock music and surfing, and came to classical music at the late age of 18. My girlfriend was heading off to Florida State University to study art, and made it clear that if I wanted to stay with her, I would also become a FSU student. At FSU the only guitar offered then, was classical guitar. So I began a 20 year dedication to the discipline and martyrdom of classical music. I lo…
