## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these strings be used on a 3/4” guitar?**
A: Yes they will work on 3/4 guitar.  Ignore the guy talking about steel strings, nobody should ever use steel strings on a classical guitar or nylon strings on a steel string acoustic, I don't care how much you adjust your truss rod.  This is Guitar Maintenance 101 here.

**Q: Can this be used for guitalele’s?**
A: yes

**Q: Are these a light tension? (suitable for antique parlor guitars?)**
A: I put these on a steel string guitar to give it a more mellow sounds and they feel better to play. The tension feels light to me but the sound is great.  I don’t know about your specific situation but I do recommend them.

**Q: Are these considered a light gauge?**
A: These are a light series and soft on the fingers
