Suzuki Vintage Acoustic Guitars

Suzuki Vintage Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars are instruments with hollow bodies that amplify the vibration of the strings without the need for electrical amplification. Vintage Suzuki acoustic guitars come in many different body styles, string types, and construction materials. Suzuki guitars originate from Japan, where the company began in 1953.

• Concert: Smaller than most other types of models, the concert body style has a bright sound and guttural mid-range. They are very lightweight.
• Auditorium: This is considered the standard mid-sized guitar. They have a balance of volume, tone, and weight. They are typically louder than the smaller, concert-style instruments.
• Dreadnought: These vintage instruments were designed by the Martin guitar company. They have a very large soundboard, wide waists, and a14-fret neck. The tone is powerful and recognizable. This particular guitar tends to be popular in bluegrass and folk music.
• Jumbo: These are the typical “cowboy” guitar. They have a slim waist and wide body. Jumbo acoustic guitars project notes loudly and deeply. This is model is often used in country music
• Travel/Mini: These are convenient options for traveling musicians, beginners, and children. Although much smaller than other styles, mini or travel guitars provide the same sound as full-sized models when played. They are compact, durable, and lightweight.

• Steel: These are the most common type of vintage strings. They are generally loud and bright. They are spaced closely together on the neck and are often used in rock, country, and pop music.
• Nylon: A lot of vintage guitars have nylon instead of steel. Acoustic guitars with nylon have wider necks to provide more space between them. They also have a shorter fretboard. Since they make a softer tone than steel, they are most often used in classical and flamenco.

• Solid: These are constructed out of two single-ply pieces of wood pressed tightly together side-by-side. The grain is matched up exactly, making it look like one piece of wood. Solid guitars have louder and crisper notes than laminate ones.
• Laminate: This design uses many layers of wood pressed together. The more aesthetic pieces of wood are on the outside with the thinner pieces on the inside. Laminate guitars do not vibrate as much as solid ones, so it will not be as loud or produce the same sound quality.
