It depends on how often you play and the environment the guitar is stored in. If you play everyday for a few hours you may need to change them once every 1-2 months. You will notice they lose their shine and maybe get a green nasty film under them. Or if your humidity is not properly controlled they may rust out even if you're not playing often. You will notice they sound "dead" when you pluck them. This only works for metal/steel strings. If you run your finger along the bottom of the strings and you get a black/grey colour on your fingers you should consider getting new strings. It really depends on the acidity of your sweat, bear with me this is going to sound odd but everyones is differant. the higher the acidity, the more frequent you need to buy new strings. Hope i could help!

Can you use acoustic guitar strings for acoustic electric?
using acoustic strings on an electric does not damage the guitar. tightening them too tight does. acoustic strings tend to be thicker than electric strings, so all you have to do is just tune lower to avoid putting too much stress on the neck. i just want to know why they use different materials to make them. ============ Answer No the strings are completely different. It would be much harder to play an electric even if for some reason you did put them on. And you definitely don't want to mix the two! ================ I'd be inclined to think that stringing thicker, shorter acoustic strings on an electric guitar would actually damage the electric guitar. It wasn't built to withstand that kind of string tension. The reverse can be done -- using electric strings on an acoustic guitar -- but you won't get a great deal of tone or attack. Great for a very easy-playing acoustic guitar for songwriting and low-volume playing, though.
Have small Cortez acoustic guitar model no C203S no info on it at all the standard acoustic strings don't seem to be right what are the right strings to put on it and do I tune it the standard EADGBE?
Try putting the DT38N/S nylon or steel strings on your Cortez acoustic guitar. (Just adding to your answer and partially answering my own question) with further study the guitar seems to match the jazz type it has the steel bridge at the end and is fairly small in size so gypsy jazz stings should work given the bronze and nylon don't sound right
What are the easiest acoustic guitar strings to play and have the best sound For an Acousticelectric guitar?
the best string size for this is 8-38 but their very quiet and break easily. its best to just stick with light gauge 9-42 until your fingers develop strength. Think of it like weight training. My advice is to lower the action as its much easier if your strings are low to the fretboard and of course lower tunings aren't as brutal to your fingers.

Should you change your strings on your new guitar. I have recently bought a guitar and the strings are rusty. Also should I put lemon oil on the fret board?
If you bought the instrument from a retail store, shame on them . Yes, you should get new strings. If you're not sure what gauge or type to get, take the guitar with you and they can measure the strings with a micrometer. Lemon oil is not necessary for the fretboard. Normally, a bit of a cleanup with very fine steel wool.
