A nylon sring guitar is an acoustic guitar also known as a classical guitar.The makers of guitar refer the turm "acoustic" guitar to those guitars where the sound is produced in the box (cavity) of the guitar.There are two acoustic guitars one with steel strings and one with nylon strings.

I am very pleased with mine... I can't really see what's not to like about this guitar!

The guitar is a great value for either. It's a fine instrument not to be confused with the toys being sold in dept. stores.

I kind of doubt it is good for a classical myself, not because of the width, but because this capo is curved for contact points on the frets. Look at the picture, it's a curved capo. It's not about the width, the classical guitar has a flatter fretboard. Steel string guitar fretboards have a curve; I have many. Look for something that is meant specifically for classical guitars. I have a classical myself, so I vote no about this being appropriate for a classical guitar. It's likely going to put more pressure on the outer E strings and not do the job on the interior strings due to the curvature. I haven't used a capo for classical so I can't make a recommendation, but there must be something out there.

I owned an acoustic guitar and I have no knowledge how it would work on a classical guitar. But you can try it. It works great for my acoustic guitar. If it doesn't do the job, you can sell it. Good luck.

First it is a very nice guitar with a very good electric sound but no acoustic sound. Yes, the guitar comes already stringed with basic nylon strings but I replaced mine with Aquila Alabastro Superior Chitarra Classica strings. The guitar does not come with care or maintenance manual. Any standard classical guitar strings will fit the guitar. Another user suggested Savarez 500CJ strings as a perfect fit for the guitar. I plan to try them next time I replace my strings.

I really don't know that much about guitars, but my son (father of the grandaughter I bought the guitar for) took it to a guitar shop to buy a case for it and the dealer told him it was one of the finest models he had ever seen for a young beginner. She enjoys it immensely and wants to be like taylor swift when she grows up - she is 9. Hope this helps in a small way.

I bought one for my daughter, and after one year of lessons and practice she understands how nice the sound is and what a quality bargain we have in this guitar...! But she is 40 and really takes good care of it, and that is where the difference will be for your child. This is by far an excellent beginner guitar, great sound, quality, and could last for yrs with proper care...

Hi M. Stewart, I own a G9126 and even that it is a small beautiful guitar the neck is almost as wide as a regular size guitar. I think the space between frets and strings will be to big for a small hands kid. The Cordoba guilele and Yamaha gitalele will be more suitable for your kid (because of the thinner neck they have), they are both cheaper on price and quality but not that much on sound. The Yamaha comes in different colors.....you can also check smallguitars.com

You could use whatever your favorite strings are for a classical guitar. It's a standard neck. I never got that far with it. It wasn't what I was looking for. Not a Martin sound quality (didn't expect much from the small body) but mainly it was too heavy/bulky to be useful for me.

Hey John, this is actually my first guitar and I have had it for almost a month and I love it. I am using it with the game rocksmith and it sounds amazing for a guitar that cost $80. I even had a buddy of mine check out the guitar and he loved it. This is a perfect guitar for a beginner. I don't think you will regret it.

This was designed to be a STEEL STRING guitar. Personally, if I were looking for a classical NYLON STRING guitar for around $100.00, then I would look at a HOHNER, they make good quality instruments.

Yes it is. I found the strings were nice and low and easier to hit the chords than on my acoustic or classical. If you can get to a music store, most stock them and you can actually try it first. Do a search on guitar center and find the closest one near you. Then go see how it feels.

Sound quality is very subjective so what you hear may not be what others hear. That said, I can tell you that the Taylor Big Baby puts out the best quality and richness of sound that I have yet to hear in this guitar's price range. I would hazard to guess that you would be well pleased as I am with mine.

Playability is great. A6 comes with electric strings installed and action is low so it plays like an electric. I replaced the stings with Elixir nanoweb acoustic 11s, which gives more an acoustic sound and feel but still plays well. I think it has a good jazzy sound, especially if you use the the humbucker and add in a little of the piezo to give it a little top end. The A6 is my go-to guitar when I play rhythm in our church band. I also have the A12 12 string version. I used to be the guitar tech at a local music store and I have set up every guitar I own to my own liking, with the exception of these 2 Godins. (I also have a Godin xtsa which had a horrible set up from the factory) I own about 20 guitars... Fenders, Ibanez, Ovations, Epiphones, Yamahas, a Takamine Pro model and others, but the A6 and the Takamine are the two I play most often. I would suggest you try one before you buy just to be sure you like it.
