Acoustic Guitars

About

Acoustic guitars are like a fine wine, they get better with age. There's nothing like an open G tuning on a solid wood top acoustic guitar to shake off the cobwebs. Historically, before the days of guitar amplifiers acoustic guitars needed to project across rooms of people. This is where the different shapes of acoustic guitars came from. The dreadnought shape, designed by CF Martin in the early 1900's derived its name from a ship in the British Royal Navy. A name reserved only for the most powerful battleship, the HMS Dreadnought. Cool eh? I can only imagine it was named after this due to it's large size, therefore being able to project at a good volume across a room. These days, with the help of built in pick up systems, acoustic guitars can be any shape and size and play to a stadium full of people. Take a look at our extensive range of acoustic guitars below.
