I'm trying to help a friend setup a really old short-scale classical guitar. I don't know much about classical guitars, and am lost on what to do for strings. I had him buy a pack of nylons from the local guitar shop, and they are crap. Plus, being a short-scale, tuned to pitch the string tension is really weak and sloppy. What are some decent, thicker strings I could use for a guitar like this?
