## Questions & Answers

**Q: how to remove items from cart?**
A: You remove them by removing them.

**Q: I would like to buy a soft rope that doesn't hurt my fingers too much.  So, which one should I buy? Thanks**
A: I recommend the Elixer 16027, D'addario XSAPB1152, or the Martin MA535S.

**Q: Are all 6 strings supposed to be bronze and nano coated, or are the E-1 and B-2 anti-rust plain steel?**
A: On the individual strings' paper packets, only the wound strings (G-3 through E-6) have "Nanoweb coating" text. The E-1 and B-2 strings say "anti-rust plain steel" instead.

**Q: how many strings are in the package**
A: This is a full set of 6 strings for acoustic guitar.
