    Often the lowest 4 strings are wrapped and the the top 2 plain steel. But there are all kinds of setups. Also, if you buy a lower end guitar it might have very cheap strings that you can just throw away, I did this with my knock-off Strat. Didn’t waste time unwinding them, just took wire cutters and got rid of them quickly.

    If after a few weeks of first stretching, tuning and playing your guitar you find that it still goes out of tune quickly, then maybe your strings are no bueno.

    I can’t speak to the gauge of strings especially without any info on the make and model of guitar, but even if you supplied that somebody else may be a lot more qualified than I am. I bought my first guitar in January and my second 2 weeks ago! I have heard Ernie Ball Strings are often a popular choice.

    I would do an online search on your guitar and try to find a reputable guy on YouTube who can speak about how to set up your guitar.
