Guitar Facts

Acoustic guitars (and similar instruments) with hollow bodies, have been in use for over a thousand years. There are three main types of modern acoustic guitars:

  1. The classical guitar (nylon string guitar)
  2. The steel-string acoustic guitar
  3. The archtop guitar

The tone of an acoustic guitar is produced by the vibration of the strings, which is amplified by the body of the guitar, and its resonating chamber.
