Please advise which strings I should use to sound as close as possible to a Classical Guitar.
Thank you, johnnysmash

I never tried the Martin M630's so I thought I would buy a set. However several reviews at Amazon complained the the G & D wound strings began unraveling pretty fast, sometimes within a matter of days. However, those reviews were all a couple of years old. Hopefully, Martin has resolved this issue. Have you tried the 630's lately. If so, are the G & D strings holding up okay?...A good set I have liked and used on many baritones is Martin M630 baritone strings. ...

I agree with Bellgamin, make sure you use a set with wound 4th and 3rd string if you want that classical guitar sound. Another thing is find a set that is on the bright side. Because of the short scale length of a baritone the strings are lower in tension and it can sound muddy or dull. A good set I have liked and used on many baritones is Martin M630 baritone strings. There are a lot of strings out there and you will need to experiment to get the sound you want.
