Examples
In addition to fretboard inlay, the headstock and soundhole surround are also frequently inlaid.
It is an unusual-looking instrument, distinguished by a fairly large body with squarish bouts, and either a "D"-shaped or longitudinal oval soundhole.
The traditional classical guitar has 12 frets clear of the body and is held on the left leg so that the hand falls at the back of the soundhole (this is called the classical position).
