| | Types of guitars:
“Guitar types” is one of the most serious & global question, for which exists huge confusion all over the world. Fairly, none had tried to unsolved the issue & classification is completely absent here. Questions about what type of guitar - acoustic, electric, electro-acoustic or semi-acoustic” are constantly asked.
It is a difficult topic. Manufacturers of guitars name the guitars in a chaotic order & come-out with their types of guitars or often use “incorrect” terms of other manufacturers.
So, let's address two basic monumental concepts such as “body type” & “sound type” of guitars and further discuss them in detail as a lecturer of institute acting on the brains of students.
“Body type” & “sound type” - never confuse them as as you don't confuse your right hand with the left one even though they look similar.
We have three guitar bodies which we'll address below. Outwardly, they look very identical to each other & it is the reason for confusion.
Another thing is that each one of these body type is configured to certain tone type.
For example, hollow-body is often used for acoustic tone. Therefore, stereotype exists that if the guitar has hollow-body, then it is necessary to call it an “acoustic guitar”.
And solid-body, as a rule, is used for electric tone.
But again, lot of exceptions is found around us - we live in such a world, where everything is messed-up & became rather unusual.
I would rely on all aforesaid & suggest naming all guitars on the basis of body design & tone type.
Types of guitars are mentioned below (only guitar types & nothing else), based on body & tone types (with examples from popular guitar models):
* Hollow Body Acoustic (Martin Drednought, Gibson Jumbo)
* Hollow Body Electric (Gretsch Brian Setzer, Ibanez George Benson)
* Holow Body Acoustic & Electric (Gibson John Lennon J-160E)
* Semi-Hollow Body Electric (Gibson ES-335, ES-175, ES-135)
* Semi-Hollow Body Acoustic & Electric (Godin Multiac Jazz)
* Solid Body Electric (Gibson Les Paul, SG, Fender Strat, Tele)
* Solid Body Acoustic (Gibson Chet Atkins)
* Solid Body Acoustic & Electric (Parker Fly, Godin LGX)
