Classical nylon string guitars have quite a bit less tension in the neck, and theres not as much ‘pull’ on it in different environmental conditions, so they tend to stay a bit more stable. You CAN still adjust bow etc when refretting but it’s a big and potentially only a ‘once in a lifetime’ process for a nylon guitar. They are also completely happy being hung vertically from the head. | |
