Guild
is one of the top makers of acoustic guitars in the world. One need
only hold a Guild and, after a few strums, will definitely fall
in love. These guitars are hand-crafted in the US. |
|
Gibson
acoustic guitars have a history akin to that of the Martins. A Gibson
gets better with age, which says a great deal, considering how incredibly
beautiful they play and sound when brand new. Made in the US. |
|
Epiphone,
being a division of Gibson, also make fine acoustic guitars (from
overseas) that play and sound great, but won't break your wallet
or purse. |
|
Yamaha
holds a large part of the market of acoustic steel-string and classical
guitars, being able to accommodate absolutely every player, from
the 5-year-old beginner to the likes of Paul Simon. The CPX, APX
and Compass acoustic guitars are used by many professional gigging
musicians. |
|
Fender
acoustic guitars have lately come out with some incredible solid-top
guitars that are making professional players re-evaluate their current
instruments. When armed with a Fishman pickup (as many models are),
playing a Fender acoustic live is a wonderful experience. |
|
Squire
(by Fender) has a fantastic line of entry-level acoustic guitars
that are becoming quite popular among students. They also come in
crazy colours, like red and bright blue! |
|
Rodriguez
classical guitars - it is well worth the time to try one of these
world-class guitars for yourself. It will then be difficult to see
why these instruments can be affordable, especially with them being
made in Spain. Take a tour on the Manuel Rodriguez website, and
get a glimpse at their standard of excellence in guitar-making. |
|
Johnson
resonator guitars (ie: the Dobro) are a great choice for professional
and up-and-coming blues players. |
