Are you planning on going back and forth from Nylon to steel and back?

is your guitar set up for steel strings or nylon ? if you have a classical guitar, you really do not want to put steel strings on it...too much tension for the neck. If your guitar is for steel strings, nylons will sound like sh_t...look for a set of "nylon and steel" (DADFAD talked about them)..I think they are steel wound w/nylon...good luck

I don't think it's too good of an idea.

those strings are called silk & steel..they are designed for a regular steel string but are easier to play

steel string guitars are not built for nylon strings, and vice versa.
