Why does the classical guitar start buzzing when you change strings from steel to the recommended nylon ones?

Once a guitar has been built and strung, it must be 'set up'. Among other things, this involves setting the 'bridge' of the guitar to a level where the strings will sit at a comfortable level above the frets (this is known as a Guitars 'Action').
A guitar is set up to accomodate the strings already on the guitar. If you change from thin strings to thicker strings, they will not sit adequately above the frets. When said strings are played, they will rattle, or buzz, against the metal frets. To rectify this, you should either ask a guitarist to show and explain how to set your bridge, or take the guitar into a shop and ask an assistant to do this for you.

Should the strings on a new guitar be changed after a few days?
Not normally. You will get a variety of answers on this. In Rock it really doesn't matter. Replace a string when it breaks. No one will know the difference. With a classical guitar, the change in tone between new and old strings is more noticable. But I would not change the strings on a classical guitar until I broke one. Then I'd probably change them all. I have heard that some bands change the strings on the guitars before every gig. This is plain stupid.... just tying to be cool.

What kind of strings does Willie Nelson use?
He uses La Bella 830 Folk Singer nylon strings. If you look close at his guitar you will see the last three strings are black nylon, and the low three strings are wire wound nylon. I have a set on my old Gibson L-GO, and they work great. They are made for both classical and steel string acoustical guitars with ball ends. I did not have to change the nut or saddle for them to work perfect.
