As for changing strings, I'd recommend doing that on any shop bought or second-hand guitar. I would also recommend that you learn to do this yourself instead of paying to have it done

Thanks for that and its something I'm going to do, I simply don't know how old the strings are and how long they've been under tension.. and of course the quality of the strings that the manufacturer uses. I have a set of Ernie Ball Slinky's custom gauge nickel wound 10 - 46 strings.. I'm hoping they're good quality.
