Size Acoustic Guitar
A Look At Two Leading Acoustic Guitar Brands
When shopping around for a good guitar, whether you are just starting out or are looking for professional level instrument, it is good to know what the best brands are. Various factors need to be taken into consideration, such as body shapes that are available, materials used, sound produced by the instrument and whether the instrument looks appealing.
When purchasing a new guitar, ask yourself what you are going to be using it for. Solo performers tend to go for a steel-stringed dreadnought acoustic guitar, which provides a big, bass sound that tends to be better than the small nylon string classic guitar.
Smaller instruments, such as the nylon-stringed classic acoustic and the steel-stringed artist body shape are ideal for beginners. They offer a good sound whilst being easier to hold. They are also used by artists who perform with a band, as they produce a more treble sound that carries better over the noise of other instruments, and causes less feedback.
The Alvarez acoustic guitar is one of the highest quality instruments available. Based in St Louis, Missouri, this manufacturer prides itself on producing excellent instruments for players of all skill levels. The attention to tradition, detail and quality they put into each instrument is world-renowned, and guitarists the world over choose Alvarez for the tone produced by its instruments. Whilst most of their instruments are produced in China, a select range of higher-end guitars are hand-crafted in Gifu, Japan, by Kazou Yairi.
One of the most popular series produced by Alvarez is their Regent series. Though these instruments are the entry level standard recommended for beginners, they are given the same attention as the higher level instruments. They maintain superior value to entry level guitars produced by other manufacturers, offering optimum tone and tuning stability.
The Masterworks series, at the other end of the scale, captures the height of instrumental performance and visual appeal. For the discerning artist, it is worth paying more to ensure the best possible tone and quality.
Another highly distinguished manufacturer of guitars is Takamine. They first began making guitars in 1962, with a focus on innovation and designs to suit the progression of musical styles and techniques. They were the first to produce acoustic/electric guitars, and they have not ceased in their pursuit to create a wide variety of instruments for all different musical tastes. Originally a small family business, the quality of their instruments has ensured international success and Takamine is now amongst the biggest names in acoustic guitars. The Takamine acoustic guitar often resembles Martin guitars, but are marketed at a much lower price.
While Takamine offers a huge range of guitars to suit all budgets and levels of playing, many prefer the sound of Alvarez guitars. The Takamine produces a more crisp, clean tone, while the Alvarez is well-liked for its more mellow tones. In the end, however, it is down to personal preference. There is no one guitar that can be recommended for all players, so try out a few different brands and styles to find out which you like best.
