Description

While all acoustic guitars share the same basic construction and design elements, there are important differences that affect their sound and playability. Each guitar shares those basic characteristics above, but now that you know how an acoustic is designed and built, you will want to consider some of the variables that change how each box feels and plays. These variables include:

Body styles
Tops
Neck width and length
Nylon vs. steel strings
Tonewood
Understanding your options in these categories will help you make the best decision as you shop for acoustic musical instruments.
