Features of the Acoustic Guitar
When we talk about guitars, many types come to mind, such as classical guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, and electro-acoustic guitar. The acoustic guitar is one of the most commonly used among them. Although it resembles a classical guitar in shape, it differs significantly in sound characteristics due to the type of strings used. As its name suggests, what makes this guitar special is its acoustics, i.e., the sound it produces. Resembling a classical guitar more than an electric guitar, the acoustic guitar is a type of instrument that can produce a louder sound than a classical guitar even when played on its own, due to the increased tension from the sharp steel strings it is designed with, unlike the classical guitar. Visually, the acoustic guitar is slightly thicker than the classical guitar. While six-string models are more preferred, twelve-string models are also available in the market. The acoustic guitar, which is frequently preferred in music genres like Rock, Blues, and Jazz, has four wound strings and two unwound steel strings among its six strings.
Acoustic Guitar Prices
Acoustic guitar prices vary according to many features such as the soundboard, back, sides, neck, fretboard, bridge, tuning mechanism, and body, and of course, according to the brand of the guitar. For example, an acoustic guitar with a spruce soundboard, mahogany back and sides, rosewood fretboard, etc., from a well-known brand, might cost around a thousand Turkish Liras, while an acoustic guitar made from materials like cedar and linden wood from a lesser-known brand costs approximately two hundred Turkish Liras. As you can see, it is possible to find an acoustic guitar for every budget. The material that primarily increases the price of the guitar is the type of wood it is made from. Prices vary so much that there are plenty of alternatives available in the market for those who want to buy an acoustic guitar. Therefore, those who want to learn acoustic guitar and are at a beginner level can opt for more affordable prices, while more professional players can choose acoustic guitar types with better quality materials and higher prices.
