Hohoner HG-13 strings
I have an old Hohoner HG-13 which I would like to buy a new set of strings. One thing I saw on the subject was guitars which use vinyl you can't use metal, this one has seems to have 3 and 3. I have no idea if they are the original strings or not.
If someone can give me some direction I would appreciate it.

P.S. This for for self-teaching home use. Also, I am currently leaning to a low gauge set.
Thanks,
Aba

This was more than likely sold as purely a classical guitar. The strings should all be nylon. The 3 lower ones ought to be nylon with a winding of soft metal. That's the only set to use safely on this guitar. The machine heads are the kind that won't stand the strain of steel strings. The bridge is glued to the body - same story; and the neck would probably bow too much, and not be adjustable too.
