Acoustic guitars

Acoustic guitars are much older than the electric and come in two main type: steel string and nylon string.

Steel strings are the most common in North America as they have been used in blues, country, rock, pop, folk, soul, and many other forms of music.

Nylon string guitars are far less popular but are often referred to as classical of flamenco guitars. There are some actual specific characteristics to receive either of those labels but we won't get into that here.
