Is Classical Acoustic is easier to handle than Classical because of the width of fret board ? Which one is better in general ?

I find the classical easier because the finger board is wider; I have big hands and like the extra room.

guitars are classical - folk - electric ... classical is the base to start and perfect to practice because strings are made in nylon, so you won't hurt your fingers too much. folk guitars (someone wrongly call them just acoustic..) are little bit harder as built and use metal strings for better sound. it is not recommend to start with that because u will hurt yr fingers easily at the beginning.. so i suggest u this yamaha c40 guitar. it is perfect and no needs to change original strings.. they are perfect for beginner intermediate and after a year or two, maybe u will understand if guitars is yr life-hobby-no more... good value for this money. have fun! guitars are classical - folk - electric ... classical is the base to start and perfect to practice because strings are made in nylon, so you won't hurt your fingers too much. folk guitars (someone wrongly call them just acoustic..) are little bit harder as built and use metal strings for better sound. it is not recommend to start with that because u will hurt yr fingers easily at the beginning.. so i suggest u this yamaha c40 guitar. it is perfect and no needs to change original strings.. they are perfect for beginner intermediate and after a year or two, maybe u will understand if guitars... » Read More guitars are classical - folk - electric ... classical is the base to start and perfect to practice because strings are made in nylon, so you won't hurt your fingers too much. folk guitars (someone wrongly call them just acoustic..) are little bit harder as built and use metal strings for better sound. it is not recommend to start with that because u will hurt yr fingers easily at the beginning.. so i suggest u this yamaha c40 guitar. it is perfect and no needs to change original strings.. they are perfect for beginner intermediate and after a year or two, maybe u will understand if guitars is yr life-hobby-no more... good value for this money. have fun! « Show Less

They are the same, classical accoustic is a classical guitar. They have nylon and wire wrapped nylon strings as opposed to steel and metal wrapped steel stings. The classical is quieter. Some consider it easier to play. However the action, the distance of the strings to the fret surface, and the string tension are more important for ease of play. Some think the width of the fret board/neck is important. But a person can get used to both in relatively short time.

Both are great. Especially for this price you can't go wrong. It's not gonna be comparable to a $400 acoustic guitar but it can't be beat at its price. I bought an electric guitar as well and now I'm thinking about selling that because I use this all the time over that. :)

I think everyone's ears likely hear a little different, but to me the SP brand sounds better and lasts longer than the standard Martin strings. I have no problems with the standard, which sound great. But I don't have to change strings as often and believe they are worth the extra money.

The width of the neck at the nut is 1 7/8" - which is wider than the standard steel string guitars we have but narrower than a nylon strung classical. The real difference is that the scale length is shorter making the the frets closer together and therefore easier for fingering chords. For that reason I prefer the guitalele - I'm retired and this is easier for my hands. Hope this helps.

I don't have a classic, but there is still plenty of room, I really don't think you would have a problem... But it's definitely worth trying factoring in the cost! All mine are standard size fretboards but there is definite wiggle room and the guitar actually rests between the fretboard and head. Hope this helps

The playability is much the same as any classical guitar,the action is not as low as a "rock axe" but can be lowered by fitting a lower saddle and there is a truss rod.The fretting is not as good as an expensive guitar so care needs to be taken ,if you lower the saddle too much you may get fret buzz.it took a bout a week of experiment with mine to find the best action for me and now plays really well.I use it on gigs and the BBand amp up really well.Acoustically it is bright ,like a flamenco guitar.

It is considerably wider to accommodate for the two additional strings, but not what I would call overly wide for six strings. It is certainly not as wide as the Valencia model and it is not as wide as a small-scale classical guitar.

I really like the EXP 17's which are the same string as the 16 but in a medium gauge. The heavier gauge takes a little getting used to, and they are not recommended for all guitars (check with the manufacturer), but the increase in volume and authority of my sound I feel is well worth it. Btw- I just tried a set EXP19's and they are basically medium gauge tops with lights on the bottom. Not a bad idea really. A little easier on the fingers. By all means stick with the phosphor bronze for a mellow tone.

Sure, most classical guitars have rosewood fretboards, directions say to stay away from maple fretboards only.

That all depends on the type of music you like to play. If you are looking for something heavy and violent, an electric guitar is typically the easy answer. If you prefer folksy sorts of tunes, or something a little softer, usually acoustic is better. If you or the person you are purchasing a guitar for is a first timer, definitely acoustic. It requires more strength and develops muscles necessary for faster, more accurate playing, as well as developing the calluses you need.

Agree with Mark. It was a little too big for me, but its a great non-electric acoustic guitar.

as my son has grown, its easier for him to play. I wouldnt say the action is particularly high. he is learning to play closer to the fret bar to eliminate buzz

Well, I do not think so. I have checked with my 3 classical instruments (from different makers) and the string spacing are almost the same. The difference is not a major issue, I always played only classical guitar and the feeling when playing with SLG130NW is very similar.I am very happy with this Yamaha guitar. Pls consider a good acoustic amplifier (mine is a Behringer Ultracoustic ACX 450).

It isn't better. It's just different. Kind of like the difference between a 6 and 12 string guitar. 8 string mando will have a fuller sound for sure (although I haven't played the 8 string mando-strat). 4 string gives you some of the features one gets with a six string solid-body guitar -- string bending, better response with effects boxes in some cases, playing with a glass slide.

depends what you owned previously, I owned SR 80 previously and I went to test both of them before I bought it. my ears trained for SR 80, and when I tested SR 225i , immediately I can hear the difference, mainly in sound staging and bass when I tested SR 325i, I found my self trying so hard to find the different, there are few but not very subtle to my ear ... maybe after using SR 225i for few months / years I can feel it ! I listened to acoustic guitars (artist: Jubing Kristianto) and I love how much clarity it feels compare to SR 80 and I believe for Blues, you will definitely feel the bass, solid yet soft and far from muddy

Idon`t believe one is better than the other. I think the Mando Strat is that you can adapt the 4 string to all types of music, but the 8 string is still the best for the traditional bluegrass

I played the 6 inch for years and just recently got the 12 inch. The 12 inch is much more convenient as it sits in your lap better, works well with a typical snare stand, and just offers more area to play on. The only benefit I can see with the 6 inch is that it's easier to travel with.
