What is nylon string is this the regular string that is common?
Tardy
Nylon is the modern equivalent to gut for strings, providing a mellower tone than steel. They cannot be used with electric instruments, as they require a ferrous material to work. Nylon is now the most common stringing material in most Western countries. Fishing line is a perfectly useable alternative.

How do you turn a regular guitar into a Spanish one is the tuning different or is it nontransferable?
A 'Spanish Guitar' is another term used to describe a 'Classical Guitar' or 'Nylon-String Guitar'. Obviously the term 'Spanish Guitar' is in part subject to what style of music the 'Nylon-String Guitar' is playing, usually flamenco or something similar. Another example of one instrument having different names in different styles would be what is known as a 'Violin' in classical music being known as a 'Fiddle' in folk music.
Can you put a steel string capo on a nylon string guitar or vise versa?
The main difference is that one is flat (classical) and the other has a curved radius. One last thing, the classical is usually wider!! Although we have seen people use classical capo's on steel string acoustic guitars without any problems..
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.
