TYPES OF GUITAR

ACOUSTIC GUITAR

Acoustic guitars rely on a soundboard to convert and amplify the energy of vibrating strings. Originating from instruments in Asia.

Flamenco Guitar 

Flamenco guitars are similar to their classical cousins, but they are made a little differently. Although they use nylon strings, they typically are lighter, having a body usually made of cypress and a top of spruce.

Acoustic Bass

Acoustic basses usually have four strings are tuned the same way as electric basses: E, A, D, G, one octave down from the lowest four strings on a 6-string. They typically feature a wide body and have a warmer, full, mellow sound. 

Electrics

Unlike acoustics, electrics require an amplifier to produce a good sound. Companies first started making them in the 1930s when genres like jazz and swing were very popular. 

Acoustic-Electrics

These instruments provide the best of both the acoustic and electric worlds. They have transducers, microphones or pickups to make their sound louder.
