What does the classical guitar sound like?
A classical guitar IS an acoustic guitar. Now, if you are asking, "How can I make a classical guitar sound like a steel-string flattop guitar", the answer is: You can't. The only way you could approach that is to put steel strings on the classical guitar, and if you do that, you WILL, not "maybe", FOR SURE, destroy the guitar. In fact, the bridge may pop completely off the guitar while you are tuning up for the first time. If you want steel-string sound, get a steel-string acoustic. Please don't ruin a perfectly good classical trying to get that sound. This is 45 years of being a guitarist talking, here.

Can the 3 nylon strings on a classical guitar be replaced with all steel strings?
no, a classical guitar doesn't always have a truss rod. The added tension could warp the neck making it unplayable over time. In my experience classical guitars also have softer frets than a steel string guitar. Steel strings would eat away at a classical guitars frets in no time. I've personally witnessed classical guitars that were ruined because someone wanted to use steel strings on them.
