Classical Full Body Guitar Tips

This is a better quality acoustic electric guitar that does not feature a dreadnought body, rather, a combination of a classical size body up here that's a little smaller and easier to hold, but a full size body down here so that you get great sound out of it. This is called an auditorium shape, and this guitar also features a cutaway to allow access to the upper frets so that the player can easily play higher notes that you could not play easily, if at all, on a conventional guitar with no cutaway. This features a cedar top; it features electronics to amplify the sound created by the pickup installed under the saddle, and routes that sound to the jack in the end of the guitar where you can run the cable to an amplifier. This also serves as a mounting point for your strap. And one of the features of this guitar is a rosewood sides and back, which is considered the top wood for guitar construction, and a satin finish which is a little bit lighter, and some people consider it acoustically more desirable. This is a full sized, auditorium, cutaway acoustic electric guitar.
