The transition from steel strings to nylon might be more comfortable using carbon strings at first... The treble's are a similar diameter to what you are accustomed to. Whereas nylons might feel fat under your fingers.

Normal tension will give you the feel of light Gage steel strings.

After you've become accustomed to the feel and playing, then you can experiment with high tension and nylon strings.

Enjoy that guitar!!

Interesting thought. I may try that. Honestly, I've never like how thin steel strings are. Even the 13s on my OM, the trebles are just tiny. Oh well. I think I may really enjoy the nylon thickness. BUT, if its weird, I'll try the carbons.

Thank you!
