Whats the difference between guitars with steel strings and ones with nylon strings?
Guitars with nylon strings are usually called Classical or “folk” guitars. They have smaller bodies and are constructed more lightly than guitars designed for steel strings. Typically they have wider necks and flat fingerboards; steel string guitars have narrower necks and fingerboards that are slightly curved. Nylon string guitars are great for beginners because they are easy to play. The wider neck allows more room when squeezing fingers together to make chords, something that can be an advantage for adults with large fingers.
