<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 4330869, member: 55&quot;]That would be a terrible mistake, and though people sometimes try it with classical guitars, those guitars are not built to take the tension of steel strings.&nbsp; This is a normal nylon-string classical guitar; if it has steel stings on it now, you want to loosen them right away.</p><p>And there would be a possibility, or likelihood, that if steel stings have been used on it in the past, that the neck has been warped; string height at the 12th fret should be no more than about 1/8th inch, a bit over 3.5 mm.</p><p>(the strings apparently on it now look like standard nylon strings, with the first 2-3 strings being solid nylon, the lower strings metal-wrapped as usual.) But with a wrapped string it is hard to tell from photos; check the end at the peg-head, and if those lower strings have a metal core, I&#039;d advise that they be loosened or removed, now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
