If you change to steel strings, it won’t really be functioning as a classical guitar. The three higher strings of a classical guitar need to be either plastic or gut strings in order to keep the warm guitar sound that classical music was written on. Now, if you’re wanting to play your classical guitar like an acoustic rock guitar, I say go ahead, because it really depends on the style you’re going to play in.

The bridge comes off neck snaps and the tuners get all torn up perhaps theres reason there are different types of guitars.

For it most steel strings are at higher tension than nylon and gut strings just realize that you have to ease into it.
