What guitar is better a acoustic guitar and a classical guitar?

The term acoustic, albeit not neccessarily accurate, usually implies a guitar with steel strings, whereas classical implies the use of nylon strings. For playing almost all types of modern music, a guitar with steel strings is preferred.


Could you get a nylon acoustic guitar re-stringed so it could be a normal acoustic instead of nylon?

I would not advise this because most classical, or nylon string guitars do not have the steel reinforcing rod in the neck of the guitar that the steel string guitars have.


Why are the d strings on a nylon guitar always the first to die?

perhaps because it is the thinnest string made of nylon fiber. The low E and the A being thicker are stronger than the D and the G, B, and high e being made of solid nylon rather than nylon fiber are also most likely stronger than the d on a nylon string guitar.


Do nylon strings on a guitar easy to break?

They do not break. They are the same strength as normal strings. They just don't sound as great as metal strings. They are easier to strum. I would recomend getting metal strings, they will sound better and the calluses that you will get on your hands will make it easier to play.


Which is better a nylon stringed or a steel stringed guitar?

They are quite different; so each has its advantages and disadvantages: The steel guitar is louder, the nylon strung is played without a plectrum and is easier to control.


Whats the difference between an acoustic guitar and a classical acoustic guitar?

Nylon strings are lower tension in comparison to steel strings and have a warmer tone than steel string, thus making steel strings higher tension than nylon with a brighter tone than nylon strings.


Can you put nylon strings on a steel string guitar?

A: This can be very unsafe! The design of nylon string guitars is very similar from steel string guitars. To get the best sound from a guitar there is a balance between length and flexibility. Nylon strings are under less tension than steel strings so the top is made thinner and the internal braces are lighter allowing the instrument to vibrate more, giving you better volume. The extra pressure that steel strings put on a nylon guitar can, over time, cause the top to pull up, cause braces to come loose, and even pull the bridge off the guitar! Also, most nylon string guitars do not have internal neck reinforcement (truss rod) like steel string instruments do. This will cause the neck to pull forward causing the distance of the strings from the fret tops to decrease greatly making the instrument difficult to play. The tuning gear rollers on nylon instruments are also different. They are normally made from plastic which will not support the pressure of the steel strings. The shafts may break under the extra pressure. Good answer. But if you have a guitar that you don't care about, the sound is very tinny. Alright mate, enough of that, alright mate alright mate mate.
