Nylon or steel string guitar for playing spanish style music?

Answer 1

If I am playing spanish guitar music I use a classical guitar. (Unless you mean somethng other than what I think you mean by spanish.) It is generally used for that. Wider neck, nylon strings, boomier sound. Nylon strings are designed for classical guitars. I believe flamenco guitars use nylon strings as well. The guitarron is the large guitar used in much spanish music.

Answer 2

Steel strings definitely. You can't get the subtle sounds you want with nylon, you need the wrapped wires for that.

Answer 3

I would use nylon.
