Location: GA USA | A very nice lady at my church said she wanted to learn guitar, so I loaned her my 1868 for a bit. She emailed me back this:
Can I buy something like THIS , but put the nylon strings on it?
I don't know how to answer. Whatcha say, big brains? |

The strings would break easily at the tuners on the unwound strings.
Plus they'd be too close together and would sound like shit, excuse me, spoo. |

Location: Cork, Ireland | I'd say if it sounded good with Nylon strings, the seller would not be selling it as he says 'I'm willing to trade for a classical guitar with nylon strings 'of equal or greater value.' .' |
