About Classical & Nylon String Guitars


Choosing the perfect classical guitar or nylon-string guitar is an exciting process. However, for the best decision, you have to get a bit familiar with some features. Pay attention to these essential details and you’ll have a fantastic instrument in your hand in no time.


Classical Guitar Tonewoods


Starting with the top wood, classical guitars and nylon-string guitars with cedar tops deliver vibrant tones, and offer a lively presence, and superb definition. Not to mention their mesmerizing warmth and balance. Spruce, one of the most popular tonewood choices, is an extremely long-lasting material and projects wonderfully and effortlessly. There are many other tonewood tops available at Sweetwater. But these two have been setting the standard for centuries.


Backs and sides made of rosewood provide a full-bodied frequency response and a powerful, rich tonal foundation to your sound. Mahogany gives a balanced, lively tone. Mahogany is also perfect for a charming, warm sound with superb midrange focus, enhancing your high-frequency richness and clarity. Maple in back and sides produces a lovely, bright, brilliant-sounding top end, making it a popular choice for flamenco and jazz players who love the wood's percussive nature.


Nylon-string Guitars for Steel-string Players


If you’re familiar with steel-string guitars but are looking to branch out and add a pinch of nylon-string flavor to your music, Sweetwater carries classical guitars and other nylon-string guitars that feature a slim neck (easy and fast to play), a familiar shape, and an ideal fingerboard radius. This adds up to a comfortable playing experience that will remind you of your favorite steel-string.
