Ernie Ball Paradigm Extra Light 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - 10-50 Gauge

Q: best strings to buy for a Washburn Acoustic/Electric guitar?

For beginner start with extra light. Acoustic strings can be unforgiving on your finger tips with callases built up. Earthwoods last quite a long time. Most strings will tarnish in the open air after 45+ days. Good luck!

Q: Are these good for a Classical/Spanish guitar?

No they are not. You would need to use a Nylon string for your Spanish or Classical Guitar. These are steel strings. Kind Regards, Troy ksmusiccenter

Q: How well do these work for alternate tunings ??? What guage would you suggest for that ?

I’m not much of an alternate tuning player very often, but if you’re going to play slide &/or use a capo, then I’d recommend the heaviest gage your guitar will handle. To my knowledge that is.
