A classical guitar is a type of acoustic guitar that features nylon strings, which produce a softer and warmer sound compared to steel-string guitars. It typically has a wider neck and a larger body, allowing for more complex finger placements and a richer tone. Classical guitars are often used in various music styles, including flamenco and classical music. These guitars are usually played using fingerstyle techniques, where the player plucks the strings with their fingers rather than using a pick. The body of a classical guitar is often made from wood, such as spruce or cedar, which contributes to its unique sound quality.
