New Guitar purchased today

Good for you Tony.  I don't know anything about nylon strings, but it looks like you got as good deal.  Good luck.

Yes great looking guitar, congratulations Tony, I hope you enjoy it for a long time to come.

Happy NGD Tony!  Daddario's were a suggested string to use on my classical (from the manufacturer).  My only advise is to stay away from the silk wound strings.  Daddario calls these "composites".  The core is made of filiments, then wound.  When I had those, my G string frayed and broke long before the rest of the strings lost their tone.  If you're playing a LOT of A, D, E where your finger is CONSTANTLY on that G string on the second fret... it's bound to happen.  With traditional nylon strings the G is all nylon and not wound at all so it won't be an issue.  The low E and A are still nylon core then wound with metal to get that lower bass sound.

I haven't had much luck finding anything local other than Daddario... but when I do find some other brand I will be trying them out!  Just remember, when you change your strings with nylon... they are going to go flat within SECONDS ... so don't expect to play the day you change them (or maybe even the next day).  It takes a good week of tuning each day before they stop stretching out!  I've read about stretching the strings when you first put them on to help with that process, but then I've read not to do that because you could get weak spots in the string.  Make sure  you have some time and patience set aside the first time you do change them however... it's a little tricky, but not too bad!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes with my new guitar.  I have ordered two different sets of strings, a Capo, thumb pick and so I could get free shipping, I even ordered a metronome.  I started out with a $100 guitar about 6 weeks ago and now and have two guitars and a lot more money spent.  This is good because it gives me more incentive to practice, practice, practice.

Sounds like a real classical guitar to me, if you file the action, you'll get less classical, but that's maybe what you want. High action is typical.
D'addarios are the best strings for classical, and personally, I love composites. Been playing hardcore classical for the last two or 3 years, and that's all i'll use. But whatever floats your bot, or sings your songs...  lol

Don't get me wrong guys... I loved the SOUND of composites... but that G string just frayed way too early for me when all I was playing was D, E, A in the very beginning.  Considering the comments... maybe I will try them again now that I can play a bunch of other chords!  At the moment, my strings desperately need to be changed... they sound ugly... but I don't want to have to put my guitar down for the time needed for the strings to settle.  I can see how having myself ANOTHER guitar would come in soooo handy right now!  LOL!  Tony... you've got one up on me there!  I'm jealous!  I'd try to play that with a fresh set of strings before going thru adjustments.  You may find with the nylon, even if the action is a little higher than your steel, that it is not a problem to fret.  Just a thought... these guys know WAY more than I do!

Pix... good info about the string material... is there a difference in tone to the two types?  Clear or rectified?  Does one last longer than the other?  As for tension, does it give a different sound or become harder or easier to fret with the different tensions?  I've just stuck with "normal" every time I've bought a set (mind you... I've only bought a few!).
