What gauge of strings

Martin Darco, D'Addario plain EXL, GHS Boomers I like equally.
I always solder the ball end of he the hi e these days.
9-42 on 25.5" and 10-46 on 24.75"

I have 10-46 and going to try 11's on a Jazzmaster style 25.5" scale surf guitar.

4/4 on classical guitars indicates his size. A 4/4 it's a standard one. Other sizes are 7/8, 3/4,1/2 and 1/4.

The usual scale on a full or 4/4 size guitar is 650mm.

If you have a full size guitar and a capo you can get a rough idea of what it is like to play a smaller guitar as follows.

Placing the capo on the first fret is like playing a 7/8 size guitar.

Putting the capo on the second fret is like playing a size 3/4.

Holding the capo on the third fret is like playing a size 1/2.

It really depends on your tuning (I'm assuming, i mainly play electrics and the one acoustic i do have when i played it i put some THICK strings on there.) If standard then the gauges i told you earlier should be perfect. unless you are going for easier bends or maybe you want thicker. I'm sure there's another classical player around here or someone that knows a bit more about it than me, but gotta tell us what you are trying to do. :)

About nylon strings of classical guitars. Standard gauges are usually 28-43. But you can choose high, low or medium tension. There is differents nylon kind and color too. I use nylon flamenco strings medium tension on muy classical guitars but It's a really personal taste. Each player uses according to their preferences. High tension strings use most for low tuning but I always use medium tension.
