does he use a nylon guitar or steel?
The correct term for what you are looking at is a classical guitar. Classical guitars always have nylon strings (steel strings will tear them apart). There is no such thing as a nylon guitar, and if there were, I don't think it would sound very good, although Mario Maccaferri did make some plastic ones that are quite collectible now. Steel guitar - as opposed to steel-string guitar which is what I think you mean - is the name of an entirely different instrument that doesn't look much like a guitar at all. There are also steel-bodied guitars which have a mechanical amplification system built in. However, normal classical and steel-string guitars are made of wood. A classical guitar usually has a slotted headstock with wide rollers, a wide uncambered fretboard, a 12-fret neck, an ornate soundhole rosette, no pickguard, a tied bridge with a straight saddle, and fan bracing. A steel-string guitar usually has a solid headstock or a slotted headstock with narrow rollers, a narrow cambered fretboard, a 14- or 12-fret neck, a simple rosette, a pickguard, a pin bridge with a slanted saddle, and X bracing.
Clearly it's nylon strings. Didn't you ask this before? You can hear the difference in tone, and the construction of the guitar is different than a steel stringed model.
He's using a nylon guitar. The trick to know whether it is nylon or steel is by looking at the headstock. steel ones use the ones you see from a regular electric guitar. the nylon ones has two major holes on them I don't know why but that's based on what i have seen. One more thing is its bridge. the nylon ones do not use pin-like stoppers to prevent the strings from falling off unlike the steel-stringed guitars that use them.
