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.
On the other hand, those playing together with a band are likely to go for a smaller instrument like a classic or artist acoustic guitar. The smaller body shape produces a treble sound that will carry over the sounds of the other instruments while minimizing feedback. They also make a good instrument size for beginners as they are easier to hold.
The Alvarez acoustic guitar is world-renowned for being an excellent quality instrument that demonstrates attention to tradition and detail and produces a pleasing tone. Alvarez is based in St Louis, Missouri. Mostly their guitars are made in China. However, Kazou Yairi of Gifu, Japan, hand-crafts a number of higher-end instruments himself.
An especially popular series in the Alvarez range is the Regent series. Beginners gravitate towards these less expensive entry level instruments for the smaller price tags and assurance of quality. Compared to other brands, Alvarez offers a superior product at this level. They ensure optimum tone and excellent tuning stability in all their guitars.
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.
In comparing these two brands, it is important to keep in mind that there is no one acoustic guitar that will suit all players. Different players will prefer different tones and body shapes. Takamine produces a very wide range of guitars for all budgets and skill levels, but many dislike the bright, clean tone that these instruments produce. The Alvarez is popular for its rich, mellow tone.
