Acoustic Guitar: How to Choose the Perfect Instrument for Your Soul and the Stage
When someone decides, “That’s it, I want to buy an acoustic guitar,” they’re usually looking for that rich, resonant, and deep sound produced by steel strings and a large wooden body. So what is an acoustic guitar? First and foremost, it’s an instrument for the soul, for accompaniment, for playing by the campfire, or for serious performances. If you’re wondering how much an acoustic guitar costs to get started, the MuzTus team will help you navigate all the nuances so you don’t overpay for unnecessary features.
Classical or Acoustic Guitar: Key Differences
This is the most common question from beginners: how does an acoustic guitar differ from a classical one, and which should you ultimately choose? It’s simple:
Neck and Strings: A classical guitar has a wide neck and soft nylon strings, which are ideal for music schools and classical music. An acoustic guitar has a narrow neck (like an electric guitar) and stiffer steel strings.
Sound: Steel strings produce that bright, piercing, and loud sound we hear in 90% of modern songs.
So, if you’re torn between a classical or acoustic guitar, focus on the music you plan to play. For rock, pop, blues, and ballads, you definitely need an acoustic guitar.
Popular brands:
In our catalog, we’ve gathered instruments that have earned the respect of musicians worldwide:
Yamaha: The absolute standout is the Yamaha F310 acoustic guitar. If you’re looking for a balanced sound and rock-solid reliability, any Yamaha acoustic guitar is a sure bet.
Cort: The main competitor to the Japanese brands in the budget segment. The Cort AD810 is arguably the most popular first acoustic guitar from Cort in Ukraine; it’s forgiving of beginners’ mistakes and sounds great right out of the box.
Fender & Ibanez: For those seeking signature style and authentic tone. Both Fender acoustic guitars and Ibanez instruments feature very comfortable necks that your fingers quickly get used to.
Aria: Another major competitor to Japanese guitars. A high-quality Aria acoustic guitar will delight you with its superb sound, reliability, excellent tuning stability, and outstanding value for money—it’s a great option for those looking for a loud instrument at an affordable price.
Design features: cutaways, preamps, and pickups
Modern acoustic guitars come in a wide variety of shapes and configurations. In our store, you can choose from:
Acoustic guitar with a cutaway: A special cutout on the body (an acoustic guitar with a cutaway or simply a cutaway acoustic guitar) is designed to allow your fingers to easily reach the highest frets during solo parts.
Electric-acoustic: If you plan to perform or record, you need an electric-acoustic guitar. This is an instrument with a pickup that can be plugged into a combo amp, audio interface, or mixing console. They come in various types: an acoustic guitar with a preamp (which allows you to adjust the tone using controls on the guitar itself), an acoustic guitar with a microphone or a contact microphone for the most natural transmission of the wood’s vibration, as well as an acoustic guitar with a tuner for quick tuning right during a performance.
Compact models: If the instrument is being purchased for a teenager or for frequent travel, a 3/4-size acoustic guitar is the ideal solution—it’s slightly smaller than a standard dreadnought but is almost as loud.
New instrument or used acoustic guitar: why is the risk not worth it?
Everyone wants to save money, and very often people buy guitars that have been used for many years. However, buying a used guitar is a gamble. Wood is very sensitive to humidity. If the previous owner kept the instrument near a radiator, the neck could have warped, the top could have cracked, or the springs could have come loose without you noticing. When you buy a new guitar in a store, you get an official warranty, properly aligned frets, new strings, and the confidence that the instrument will serve you for many years, rather than falling apart in a few months.
