So i've been thinking about getting an acoustic guitar. Only problem is i don't know which kind I want (Steel string, Nylon string,etc.) Can anybody tell me what the different types are best/worst at and which kind sounds brighter/darker. Thanks!

What Ramiro said is pretty true. Nylon fits better classical/flamenco while steel fits better rock/country.
If you are a total beginner, nylon strings are more gentle with the fingers, but only a few months of playing steel strings and you have no problem with it. On top of that, even if you decide about a kind of guitar (let's say steel strings) there is still lots of difference between them. I prefer thin neck guitars with real bright sound that sound good (and loud) both plugged and unplugged and cutaway allowing me to reach really high notes (my EA-20 SDL is a perfect fit for this). Folk guitars have more "full" sound which is also a little bit darker, usually being with a broader neck. But nothing sound as full as 12-string guitar, but those are hardly used for soloing and have really thick neck, making them harder to play. ( I do have a 12 string folk on Brazil). To get a real idea of the differences there is no other way but trying out different models. This post has been edited by Gus: Oct 17 2008, 12:50 AM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
