One immediately noticeable difference between the classical and folk guitars is the composition of the strings. Folk guitars are traditionally strung with metal strings and are often played with a pick or plectrum. Classical guitars, on the other hand, are strung with nylon strings and are picked with the thumb and first three fingers of the right hand.

Nylon strings tend to have a much lower tension than the folk guitar’s steel strings. As such, they are easier to play and also have a less-harsh, mellower sound than metal strings.

The neck and fingerboard on a classical guitar tends to be wider and less tapered than a folk or electric guitar. The headstock is quite different from the folk guitar headstock. To begin with, machine heads or tuning pegs on a classical guitar are perpendicular to the face of the headstock and point backwards – toward the player.
