The guitar has 6 strings.
What is meant by a ‘classical’ guitar?
A classical guitar has nylon strings as opposed to steel strings. This makes it an ideal choice for children learning to play, as the nylon strings are much softer on their fingers.

My guitar sounds out of tune, how do I fix this?
Stretton Payne instruments are quality checked and pre-tuned prior to shipping, however transportation and temperature changes throughout transit can mean that the guitar needs a little fine tuning before playing.
