Gibson Acoustic Guitar Facts.

By Thomas Goldman

Gibson acoustic guitar facts are presented here. This article tells you about Gibson acoustics and how to choose the very best one for your personal needs.

Gibson acoustic guitars are available from prices of around one hundred dollars all the way up to $25,000 or even more. They come in a wide variety of different styles and colors, and are suitable for many different styles of music and a variety of different uses.

Styles available include super jumbo, square shoulder, round shoulder, small body, jumbo, contemporary and archtop styles of guitar, each one a little different, suited to different applications.

Many Gibson acoustic guitars are now "acoustic-electric" which means that they have an onboard pickup and electronics which enable them to be plugged easily and directly into a PA system on stage for immediate and easy use. This makes them much easier and quicker to set up, to sound-check, and to use on stage without feedback problems associated with miking up an acoustic guitar. Also having the electronics rather than a microphone means you can move around a bit while playing, as most people naturally tend to do, although in the recording studio a microphone would still be used to obtain the very highest quality sound.

Some Gibson acoustics have model-descriptions which include the letter "J". These are the "jumbo" guitars, designed to have a richer and fuller bass response than the standard acoustic guitar design. Some models of acoustic are designed with a cut-away on one side. This makes it much easier to play on the higher frets comfortably.

The higher priced acoustics will often be made from more expensive woods which help them to produce a finer sound quality than cheaper models. The Gibson acoustic that suits you best will be influenced by many of the factors mentioned above, including the style of music you play, your budget and any personal preferences of yours. - 2361
