Key Acoustic Guitar Features

Choosing the right acoustic guitar starts with understanding its core features. From body shape to tonewood, each detail contributes to the sound and feel of the instrument. At American Musical Supply, we’re here to guide you through what makes an acoustic guitar stand out.

Body Shapes and Their Impact on Sound

Acoustic guitars come in a variety of body shapes, each offering a unique sound and feel. Dreadnoughts provide powerful projection with plenty of bass and treble, making them a popular choice for strummers. Concert and auditorium shapes offer a more balanced sound with enhanced clarity, ideal for fingerpickers. For players seeking portability, smaller parlor models deliver big tone in a compact, travel-friendly size.

Tonewoods That Define Your Style

The type of wood used in an acoustic guitar shapes its tone. Spruce tops are known for their bright, clear sound, while mahogany delivers warmth and depth. Rosewood back and sides provides rich overtones, making it a favorite for more expressive playing. AMS offers guitars crafted from a range of tonewoods to suit your style.

Acoustic Guitars with Modern Features

Many acoustic guitars now include built-in electronics, giving players the ability to amplify their sound without sacrificing tone. Features like cutaways provide easier access to higher frets, making them a favorite for lead players. AMS’s selection includes acoustic-electric models and innovative designs to match the demands of modern musicians.

Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce Acoustic Guitar

The Taylor 814ce Builder’s Edition Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar is a stunning, handmade masterpiece that's sure to be the envy of all serious acoustic guitarists. The Grand Auditorium shape offers balanced playability and tonality, giving hard strumming as well as fingerstyle players a balanced sound. The 814ce Builder's Edition provides plenty of projection, along with a pleasing blend of glassy tones and shimmering highs which make it incredibly versatile. Whether playing complex chords or intricate melodies, you'll feel the rich textures echo with warmth when strumming this lush symphony in wood.

Acoustic Guitar FAQs

Shopping for an acoustic guitar comes with plenty of questions, especially if you’re looking for the perfect fit. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common inquiries to help you make the best choice.

What body shape is best for an acoustic guitar?

The best body shape depends on your playing style and comfort. If you want a big sound for great strumming, a Dreadnought might be the choice for you. If fingerpicking and soloing is more your thing, concert and auditorium shapes might better suit your style. Smaller parlor guitars are perfect for players who prefer a lighter, more portable option they can quickly pull out to serenade around a fire pit or small venue. 

Are acoustic guitars good for beginners?

Absolutely. Acoustic guitars are an excellent choice for beginners because they don’t require additional equipment like amplifiers. Choosing a guitar with a comfortable neck and lighter strings can make it easier to start learning chords and techniques.

What maintenance does an acoustic guitar require?

Acoustic guitars are sensitive to humidity and temperature changes. Proper care includes storing them in a hard case, using a humidifier in dry climates, and regularly cleaning the fretboard and body. Replacing strings as needed is also important to keep your guitar sounding its best.

Which brands make the best acoustic guitars?

Brands like Taylor and Martin are renowned for their premium acoustic guitars, offering exceptional craftsmanship and tone. Yamaha and Ibanez provide reliable and affordable options, perfect for beginners or intermediate players. At AMS, you’ll find models from all these brands and more.
