Does a 3/4 guitar sound as powerful as a full sized one? Perhaps I could use a lighter gauge string. It might make for a bright sound.

There's also guitars, folk ones, I believe, that have nylon instead of metal strings. Sound is different though.

Syn, it sounds pretty powerful when he plays it. Not sure what you mean by powerful. I guess the tones are not as deep?
You can string any guitar with nylon strings, I think, but it does change the sound. But the strings he has on one guitar are extra flexible.

You can't use nylon strongs on a steel guitar and vice versa. It messes it up somehow. Especially steel on a classical guitar. The sound with nylon is warmer. Perhaps I should start off with one of those, but I love that bright sound and texture of a steel string guitar.

http://www.elderly.com/vintage/items/21U-280.htm I think I will be getting this guitar. I talked to a person at the store (Who's name was Dmitrius, that is just such a cool name!) and he said it would cost about $45 dollars to set it up, which is not so bad. The only problem is that the back and sides are not solid wood, but the top is solid. Cedar makes for a warmer tone, but spruce might be a bit better.
