This type of guitar—often referred to as a classic guitar —is ideal for classical music, flamenco, and fingerstyle. The nylon acoustic guitar is therefore an excellent choice for those seeking both comfort and sound.

For advanced players, there are models like the Alhambra classical guitar , Fender classical guitar , or a Yamaha classical guitar , known for their solid construction and pure tone.

Electric and extended: classical guitars with extras
