Spanish guitar
Classical acoustic instrument
A Spanish guitar is an acoustic guitar with nylon strings, a wide neck, and a hollow wooden body—the classical guitar in its most traditional form.
The term emphasizes the instrument's Iberian origins and its association with flamenco and classical repertoire: She studied Spanish guitar at the conservatory.
Distinguished from steel-string acoustic guitars by its mellower, warmer tone.
