June 3, 2020 at 9:14 AMI see a problem with the English guitar terms. 民谣吉他 should be translated as "folk guitar". I believe that "acoustic guitar" is 原声吉他。 Both the folk guitar (steel strings), and the classical guitar (nylon strings) are types of acoustic guitars. The term "acoustic guitar" is opposite of "electric guitar".
