i started with an acoustic as well, the neck of acoustic are narrower in width compare to a classical, easier to press chord^^, classical should b easier to for pluckings and playing melody. Acoustic can train ur finger, strings are harder to press, especially when the strings r new..>.<

wow chiq musician?

*shucks*

classical and acoustic guitars play two different roles.
generally, classical guitars play the melody line like in spanish/latin songs.
the acoustic (or folk) guitars play mainly the rythm and provide the body to the song.

that is of course the general rule.
u should see some unique talent on the acoustic guitar out there.

recommended watch : antonio forcione (a really remarkable guitarist)

Yes it does. Apparently its due to closer contact of the neck wood to the body of the guitar, which reduces sound loss or something. But its debatable I guess. Many factors affect it. On average most set neck guitars tend to have longer sustain than bolt ons though. (LPs for example...) But then again, different wood, pickups, string height, neck bending, etc. all also affect the sustain of the guitar somehow or other... best is to test it out and compare

Mind telling me the difference of Soloist and Dinky series? Coz they two look similar in design despite its neck pickup..
Or which one is more expensive?
Anyone? thanks in advance..

its quite famous..
bands like Hillsong, Hillsong United, Red Hot Chili Peppers, they use them..
