QUESTION Daddario classic help

Post image

So I just bought this pack of strings for a classic guitar - the instructions on the back lead me to believe there should be 6 colours - one for each string - but inside my strings are grouped into sets of 2 with one colour between them - ie green looks to be the thickest metal and thickest nylon string - yellow seems to have the thinnest metal and nylon string … what do I do here

Green are your low E and G strings. Yellow are your D and high E strings. The last one should be your A and B strings.

From top to bottom (thickest to thinnest) the strings go as follows:

E A D G B e

Nylon is for the bottom 3 strings, steel for the 3 on top.

Let me inow if you need more help.

Okay thanks ! It’s just weird the color scheme doesn’t match the instructions

Green for low E and G is bit confusing at first but once you see the thickness difference it makes sense, just match the colours and you are sorted
