I developed bad habits playing a nylon stringed guitar.

I use a Yamaha acoustic 6 string to practice because it's handy and easier
than setting up the electric (Gibson). I also have a Taylor 12 string that
Mrs.E. bought for me a couple of years ago. I'll drag that one out after my
fingers are in better shape. Right now they are stiff and uncooperative due
to a long absence of practice.

Interesting.

I'd much rather play my Yamaha 12, than any of my 6's. To me it's more
comfortable, with the wide neck, and you lay your fingers down on 2
strings, I describe it like the two strings are like railroad tracks,
instad fo one thin string similar to razor wire.

My classical is fun too, especially when picking jazz type stuff.
