The reason I said a classical guitar with a straight neck is because there is no truss rod to adjust the neck as on most steel string guitars. 3/16" ( on a good steel string guitar 3/16", 1/8" to 3/32" clearance is almost possible. I have an Alumbra classical guitar(made in Spain) and the factory rep in the USA told me that at the 11 th or 12 th fret the clearance from the top of the fret and bottom of the 6 th (Top) string is aprox. I've not tried the "high tinsel" nylon strings yet but, they may give you a sharper sound with less chance of buzzing. Nylon strings as a rule vibrate a lot more so the string height is kind of critical or they may buzz. A nylon string guitar is 2" But, if you get one with a nice straight neck and find someone to set up the nut and saddle for easier playing, that may work for you. a Goya F 12 has a 1 3/4" neck ( next to the nut)which is about standard for a steel string guitar. After 30 yrs of sitting under a bed I finally got it back. I'm 64 yo and I was around 20 yo when I bought this guitar and loaned to my brother. I'm going to fix it and put a Zipper inlay to cover the repair. Just a small fixable crack where the 2 halves of the back come together. I have a Goya F12 In very good finish and nice straight neck.
