Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well, if you have a CLASSICAL guitar you need to use NYLON strings!. Classical guitars are designed and built to take NYLON strings!. If you try to put steel strings on them!.!.!. not easy because the ends are different!.!.!.!. then you will probably destroy the guitar eventually since Classical guitars are not BRACED for steel strings!.

As for why your guitar is not staying in tune, it is either you have already damaged your guitar by not installing the strings correctly!.!.!. you DO have a TUNER!.!.!. right!? If you try to install strings without a tuner, then it's very easy to over tighten them and that will put extra stress on the top and cause problems!.!.!. OR!.!.!. you just have an El Cheapo guitar!.!.!. and they are notorious for not staying in tune!.!.!. that is why they are cheap!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
