Firstly hello everyone and I hope this is posted in the correct place.
I have a guitar as seen in the pictures I'd like to re-string, it was given to me and I hope to give it to my young son. Problem being I know very little about this kind of thing so I need some advice. I'm unsure as to what strings i need, I know they are nylon, however do they need to be a certain size with it being a smaller guitar and is there a certain gauge I need. Also any special equipment I may need to re-created those wonderfully difficult looking knots!

Try to copy the knots you can see on the plain nylon strings at the moment - don't worry if you need to leave a bit of string loose at the back, you can always cut it off later with some scissors.

also, there are some great you tube videos on just how to do this. I would start with “This is Classical Guitar” a website by Canadian guitarist Bradford Werner, who seems to have all the bases covered.
