Classical Guitars

Popular Classical Guitar Brands

Classical guitars (also known as "Spanish Guitars") are nylon-stringed guitars that are predominantly plucked, commonly used in Classical, Flamenco, Spanish and Latin genres.

Classical Guitars are particularly popular with new players and beginners, specifically Nylon-strung Acoustics, due to their ease of playability. The easier tension on the strings makes them great options for beginner guitarists as they are easier on your fingers!

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASSICAL GUITAR VS. STEEL STRING "FOLK" GUITARS?

The combination of nylon strings and smaller bodies creates a more mellow, light timbre compared to the steel strung folk acoustic guitars, which are often played with a plectrum and sound louder and more resonant.

Used during the 1700s and throughout the 1800s in classical music, Classical Guitars also lend themselves to Spanish, Brazilian and Latin-American music styles.

FAQs

  • What Is A Gig Bag?

    A gig bag (or gigbag) is a padded, soft-sided bag used for the storage and transport of musical instruments, most commonly a guitar or bass. While gig bags are lighter and easier to carry, they offer much less protection than padded or hard shell cases.

  • Is A Gig Bag Enough?

    A gig bag is a great way to save space and protect your guitar from scratches and dings. Gig bags are good in situations where you know your guitar will be reasonably safe such as small commutes - otherwise a hardcase will offer more durable protection.

  • What To Look For In A Gig Bag?

    Look for a waterproof covering and padding that protects the sides, back and top of the guitar - but remember, no amount of padding will protect the guitar from damage if something hits it forcefully enough or at a critical angle.
