Beginner's Guide - Steel String Acoustic Guitar:

Entry level steel string guitars are generally more expensive than nylon guitars because of the  stronger construction needed to cope with the higher string tension.

  • have a higher string tension than nylon - can be tougher on the fingers
  • suit plectrum or fingerpicking
  • the guitar has a slightly narrower neck and fretboard than classical guitars
  • the body is larger than classical guitars
