Can anyone identify this guitar? I know you cant see the headstock but i cant find a clear photo of it. If anyone can i'll be very gratefull

Cheers :)

Looks like a nylon/classical guitar from the slotted headstock and straight long bridge and lack of a pickguard. Not much in the way of identifying marks to narrow it down. Who is the artist?

It's City And Colour (AKA Dallas Green from Alexisonfire) and i though it was a classical with steel strings but i've been told that it would be impossible to do that

Alexisonfire are from our city :grin::grin::grin:

its a non-tele

It is by no means impossible to put steel strings on a classical. I know several people that play that way. One of my good friends has played an old vintage Yamaha that way for years. His favorite acoustic guitar. The string tension is rough on some guitars, but a lot of them will take it. Not recommended, but done.

There are plenty of steel string acoustics that used a slotted headstock, but the bridge on that guitar looks like a nylon string. It is common, but one feature to look at. The Square headstock is unusual, especially on a classical. Looks like a Martin, or some copy. That would be my first guess. The sound hole decoration is unusual, especially for a classical. The dark thinish line of decoration a little bit out from the soundhole.

According to wikipedia, the does use Recording King gear. They do use that headstock. Could be something like http://recordingking.com/guitars_ros647.html That still does not look right

What gauge of strings does he use? I'm very interested in doing this but some hard a**es on here are very down putting :cry:

I would start out with a light guage acoustic string

Man, if you google it, it is like it is going to just destroy your classical to put steel strings on it, so buyer beware. I have seen a number of guitars strung this way with no problems. As noted above, a vintage Yamaha, and another good friend played the fire out of an Ovation classical strung with steel strings, both for years, and both with hard, hard use. But, both are pretty tough guitar. So if you do this.....it is AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Your best bet would probably be something like an old laminated yamaha with a truss rod. Maybe my friends have been lucky.

Looks like a Harmony or Kay from the late 50's - late 60's, to me.
