Types of Guitars

Guitars come in two main types: electric and acoustic.

Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars have a large hollow body that projects the sound of the strings.

Nylon String Acoustic Guitars

Descendants of the gut-strung instruments of yore, nylon string guitars have a mellow tone.

Steel String Acoustic Guitars

Steel string guitars first appeared in country music and today most acoustic guitars have steel strings.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars have a solid or hollow body with pickups that capture the string vibration so it can be amplified.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are commonly used in rock and country music.

Hollow Body Electric Guitars

Hollow body acoustic guitars are commonly used in blues and jazz.
