Your first step when buying a guitar is to think about the intended use and how much money you’re willing to spend. If you’re a beginner looking for your first guitar to practice on, you may not want to buy a high-end model just yet. However, if you’re an experienced player wanting to upgrade, you first need to understand the difference between tone-woods, and how the soundboard affects the quality. \u003c\/span\u003eIf your ideal guitar is for public events, an acoustic-electric guitar offers the best of both sounds. The built-in pre-amplifier allows you to effortlessly plug into a sound system and provides a rich, acoustic sound. When acoustic-electric guitars are not plugged into an amplifier, they provide the same benefits as an acoustic guitar. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eConsider the construction and design.

The neck of an acoustic guitar houses the fretboard, shaped to comfortably accommodate the fretting hand. The body consists of the soundboard, sides, and backing, which form a hollow chamber. Both the size and shape of the body influence the playability and tone of the guitar. Choosing a shape that matches your physical requirements allows for a comfortable play-style. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eConsider styles and sounds. While most acoustic guitars share similar construction elements, there are some differences in the body styles, neck size, string material, and tone-woods that affect sound and playability. Choose a body style based on both comfort and your preferred sound. \u003c\/span\u003eGenerally, the bigger the soundboard, the deeper the tone. Some guitar styles pair a deep soundboard with a small waist for increased comfort levels. The size of the neck varies depending on the body measurements, and while it doesn’t affect the sound, it caters to your preferred comfort level. Smaller hands require a neck with a small diameter for ease of use. String material depends on the type of music that you’ll play. Nylon strings produce a mellow tone, while steel strings are common tools for rock and country musicians. The expansive variety of wood options available affect both the sound and the look of your guitar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: url('\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/7118\/2436\/products\/IMG_8614.jpg?v=1611016798') no-repeat bottom center \/ cover; height: auto;\" class=\"col imageBG\" data-mce-style=\"background: url('\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/7118\/2436\/products\/IMG_8614.jpg?v=1611016798') no-repeat bottom center \/ cover; height: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--END ROW IMAGE RIGHT--\u003e \u003c!--ROW IMAGE LEFT--\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dmRow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: url('\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/7118\/2436\/products\/IMG_5904.jpg?v=1594685508') no-repeat bottom center \/ cover; height: auto;\" class=\"col imageBG\" data-mce-style=\"background: url('\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/7118\/2436\/products\/IMG_5904.jpg?v=1594685508') no-repeat bottom center \/ cover; height: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 26px;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 26px;\"\u003eRelated Services We Provide to an Alvarez Acoustic Guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe cater to all your musical requirements: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGuitar straps.

No matter what music or playing style you gravitate to, this all-solid, finely dressed guitar is a true all-rounder with an impressive, eloquent voicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MF60e is fitted with the LR Baggs HiFi system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"size18 keyfeature_title\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"key_guitarfeatures\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSolid AAA Sitka Spruce\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack and Sides Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSolid African Mahogany\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop Color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNatural\/Gloss\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides Color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNatural\/Gloss\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Facia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eEast Indian Rosewood\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eEbony\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eOM\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfrican Mahogany\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase or Bag\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAFC30\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFS6\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBi-Level Indian Rosewood\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlays\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePremium MOP\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eEast Indian Rosewood\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut and Saddle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBone\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePremium Open Gear\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eD’Addario XSAPB1253\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Meets Body\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e14th Fret\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Frets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e22\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePickup \/ EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLR Baggs HiFi\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"size18 keyfeature_title\"\u003eDIMENSIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"key_guitarfeatures\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e1015\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Width (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e390\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Depth at Heel (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e96\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Depth at Base (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e108\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e630\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale (inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e24 13\/16\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e44.45\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width (inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e1 3\/4\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ALVAREZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45984906576026,"sku":"MF60EHFHB","price":1449.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/7118\/2436\/files\/C41BC92E-9CCC-4AF3-A4DC-7337D563ADB6.jpg?v=1753487777"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0216\/7118\/2436\/collections\/IMG_9972.jpg?v=1581633839","url":"https:\/\/aandbmusic.com.au\/collections\/alvarez-guitars\/classical-guitar.oembed","provider":"A\u0026B Musical Instruments","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
