some people say that

A: I like the look of this guitar, it looks so good, so I bought it;

B: There are many choices of guitars on the Internet, they look good, and the price is very cheap;

C: Although my guitar is very cheap, I can also find this brand on the Internet, so it should be good.

For friends who buy acoustic guitars with this idea, we would like to give some suggestions:

- 01 -

First, make sure you're studying

or the type of guitar you intend to learn

Acoustic guitars are roughly divided into classical guitars, folk guitars, and flamenco guitars. What type of acoustic guitar to choose is first determined by your learning content and direction. If you can't seem to like it, buy it.

Second, the price is somehow

Can reflect the grade of the acoustic guitar

On Taobao alone, there are thousands of guitars, ranging in price from the cheapest one thousand yuan to the most expensive one of several hundred thousand yuan. A single guitar with a retail price of 1,000 yuan, will it really be a good guitar?

a good acoustic guitar

Timber is the primary factor affecting price

Top material: It is the part that has the greatest impact on the guitar tone. Panels of the same material are also classified into different grades. Panel woods with high grades are usually comfortable and dense in texture, uniform in color and moderate in weight, so they are easy to distinguish in appearance.

A good acoustic guitar, the top will use spruce (also known as white pine, preferably European spruce and Canadian Engelman spruce); Man cedar is better).

Neck and fingerboard: Although the wood used is relatively small, it also has a certain impact on the guitar structure and tone.

Back and side panels: The wood used for the back and side panels of the guitar is usually wood with hard texture, beautiful texture and high density. A good pair of guitar raw materials, without any processing, may cost thousands of dollars.

After all, a guitar is a musical instrument, not a work of art or furniture. It is not enough to look at the appearance and workmanship. The most basic commonalities of a good guitar are: pitch, timbre, feel, and box resonance. If an acoustic guitar is made of low-quality wood, no matter how good the appearance of the guitar is, the guitar will not produce a good sound.

Finally, as we mentioned before: the quality of a guitar is not based on the brand, but depends on the grade of wood and wood it uses (but the brand can also reflect the manufacturer's technical strength and quality assurance)
