Guitars are made in different sizes. But 9 of the 10 western guitars on the market is a full size model. The standard size. There are western guitars available in smaller sizes. Like ¾ or ½ sizes. These sizes are often bought as”travel guitar". Also, these sizes are often suitable for young children. However, with classical guitars there is more choice in sizes and price ranges for young children. Most kids start with a classical guitar.
Much more important than the size is the bodyshape. Or The Shape of the sound box. Western guitars are made in many forms. All with their own sound characteristics, playing characteristics and purpose. It's not like one bodyshape is better than another. They just all serve their own purpose. These are the most common bodyshapes:
It is important that one shape is not better than the other. They're just different. All forms sound different and have their own pros and cons. Not only in terms of sound, but also in terms of comfort, what is the ideal guitar for you, is taste and so you decide for yourself.
A common feature on many western guitars is a pre-amp. This is a property with which the guitar can be amplified. This allows you to connect the guitar to a amplification and do gigs, for example. Western guitars that can also be amplified we also call semi-acoustic guitars.
These pre-amps are built into the guitar and in addition to the possibility to amplify the guitar also often include a tuner. Super handy, of course.
The way the guitar is built and the chosen materials determine the sound and what the western looks like. There are 3 types of way of building and how the wood is used.
These guitars are made entirely of sound wood. Beautiful woods are used. These determine the sound of your guitar. Completely solid, also called full solid, are the most expensive guitars but provide the very best sound and maximum experience. They cost more because the wood is a lot more expensive than laminated wood and is more difficult to process. But thanks to the beautiful finish, sound and experience, it remains the favorite option among lovers.
The ideal combination between massive guitars and laminated models. These guitars have a solid top, but the side-back is laminated. The top is the most important for the sound of the guitar. Because it is massive the sound is much fuller and warmer than with a laminated guitar. Because the sides and back sides are laminated, the costs are reduced and these models are a lot more affordable than completely solid guitars. Guitars with solid top many chosen by guitarists who have outgrown their starter model or a better starter guitar want in terms of sound and finish.
Guitars with a laminated construction. The most economical option that doesn't have to sound wrong. These models are very popular and with beginners. They're affordable and playable. What you often see, is that when the guitar has conquered your heart, you soon want to go to a bear model. A guitar with a nicer sound and yet that higher price tag. Does it fit your budget? Start with a guitar with a solid top.
There are many types of wood that are used for acoustic western guitars. Many with a tropical name, where most of us have never heard. Each with their own unique sound characteristics. But there are also some types of wood that are common with acoustic guitars. We mention the most important:
Spruce is a light wood. This type of wood can be found in North America and Canada and is widely used for the top of the guitar. The holy grail among spruce is the Sitka Spruce from Alaska and is used in the more exclusive and professional models.
Mahogany wood and dark wood and klink is also slightly darker than for example sparrenwood. It ' s a wood species that can come from Asia, America, or Africa. Fully solid mahogany guitars are usually made of wood from America. More affordable models are usually made with mahogany from the Philippines or other Asian regions.
For years Rosewood has been the most popular wood-type for the side and backsides of western guitars. A classic and common combination is a Spruce Top and Rosewood side-and back. Rosewood has been better protected and more difficult for guitar builders for several years to come. As a result, you can see it increasingly more expensive models and a little less on cheap guitars.
Ebony is the most popular type of wood for various parts of the guitar. It is the most common position on the control and the bridge. Ebben is characterized by the tight sound and expressive high tones. It 's an expensive wood type that' s harder to edit. You'll find this type of wood on high end guitars. A much-used new alternative is richlite. A plastic with the same sound properties as ebben, but much more stable.
In addition to a guitar there are unelatable convenient fun and indispensable guitar accessories for your western guitar. Some accessories are almost indispensable. Think, for example, of a tuner. A super handy device to tune your guitar with. A Standard, so that your guitar can be neatly stored after playing. Or a Carrying case If you want to take the western guitar somewhere.
