Different types of guitars have a different device and, accordingly, different sounds. Old samples were gradually modified. The types of guitars have also changed.
The very first classic guitar appeared. It became especially popular in the 19th century and continues to be in greatest demand today. This instrument first appeared in Latin America (then it was ideally suited for the performance of national flamenco). The body of the guitar was made of cypress plates, so its weight was negligible. Now masters do not use this method, preferring durable types of wood.
A classic guitar usually has a wide neck and, as a rule, nylon strings. Most classical guitars come with metal strings (but not always). The technique of the game is finger. Such guitars are preferred by bards.
But various types of acoustic guitars spread only in the 20th century. The case (drum) they have more than the classic ones, the neck is narrower, and the strings are set only metal. The sound is bright, rich, powerful. Strengthens his mediator even more.
Non-classical types of acoustic guitars are very suitable for combat, solo parts, rock, country, blues.
It is worth highlighting in this category an acoustic guitar like Jumbo. She has the largest body, the bass is brighter, and the sound as a whole is more powerful. Jumbo is just perfect for combat and accompaniment.
Some types of guitars are called hybrid (electro-acoustic guitars). They have a built-in piezo pickup and can be connected to an amplifier. In addition to the sensor, they have an equalizer and tuner built in, which allows you to tune the instrument. Ideal for live performances.
A semi-acoustic instrument can be called a hybrid of an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar. A fairly large deck should amplify the sound, but a reduced resonant hole prevents this. The sound is well revealed when you connect an amplifier and use a pick. Such types are preferred by jazzmen.
A characteristic feature of twelve-stringed guitars is the arrangement of 2 strings (in 6 pairs). The tree for these guitars is selected as strong as possible, since the tension of 12 strings "weak" tree simply can not withstand. That is why the "twelve-string" is quite massive and heavy.
Well suited for combat (busting is pretty problematic to play). An idea of the sound can be obtained by comparing ordinary photos and HDR photos. When applying multiple photos, a richer picture is obtained (and in our case a wider range).
Specially stand types of bass guitars. There are quite a few
distinctive features : the shape of the case, the number of strings, the passivity (or activity) of the electronics, the type of neck (fretless, fret), etc.
For convenience, it is customary to divide these types of guitars into semi-acoustic, fretless and fret. Most frets belong to Jazz Bass and Precision (or “Jazz” and “Bass”).
The main difference between these types of bass guitars is in electronics, so the pickups began to call p ("step") and j by the first letters in the name of these types.
