Acoustic guitars are one of the most widely used musical instruments today. Such popularity has created an extensive world of choice with different styles, shapes and different material to produce different sounds for different musical styles.

An example of this would be a country or blues guitar player opting for a jumbo style acoustic. Whereas a guitarist such as Ed Sheeran may opt for a smaller body size. Like a Baby Taylor acoustic for example.

The most common configuration for acoustics is the six-string guitar. However 12-string guitars can be used to obtain a fuller and more unique sound.

Choice of Wood

With any guitar, the choice of wood is vital to the type of sound you want to achieve. However, the type of wood you choose for these guitars with their hollow, resonant bodies, will impact the overall sound more so than in electric guitar.

Built-in Pickups

A very important choice to make when buying an acoustic guitar is to consider if there are any onboard electronics such as pickups and preamps. These are commonly referred to as acoustic-electric guitars. If you plan to use your guitar for live or studio purposes then you should strongly consider a model with a built-in pickup. This will allow you to plug the guitar into a live or studio sound system. A cool feature on many of these pickups is a built-in tuner.
