Acoustic Guitar Quality, Detailed Discussion

Acoustic Guitar Quality: Something You Should Know

What comes to your mind firstly when talking about acoustic guitar quality?Sound, material, stability or playability? We think all of them are related with “quality”.

For players or performers, they can only get the “quality” when they have guitars on their hands. But here, we are talking about batch purchasing of wholesalers or guitar designers. They should pay most of their attention to the quality when beginning of production.

Therefore, we would like to talk about the quality of acoustic guitar as comprehensive as possible to show you how to make sure you get what you want.

Is Sound the Only Standard of Guitar Quality?

As we have been experienced, all of our clients focus on the quality of guitar when they are purchasing. “I need high quality guitars” is the most frequent requirement that we have met. Most of time, they pay much attention to “sound”.

“Sound” is the final standard of quality of guitar. But it is not the only one refers to “quality.

Actually, we think “sound” is just a result of cooperation between wood material and building techniques.

Thus, it is better to check more specifically to make sure you will get the “sound” that expected.

Wood Determines the Quality: Really?

Really.

There is a consensus that quality of wood material determines the quality of acoustic guitar and classical guitar.

We all know that solid wood is the best material for guitar building. Because after fine drying (the best is dried naturally, but it may take decades, even a hundred years), the wood reaches the best tone reaction ability. Also, the weight of the wood is greatly reduced. Through drying, the wood also gets a high strength for further processing and ensure stable performance.

Because of the natural characteristics, solid tone wood is considered as the best choice for building guitars, especially high-end types.

And the solid wood determines the sound performance and stability of guitar.

Some may say laminated wood also a good choice. If you are looking a cheaper guitar, laminated may be a good choice. But it depends on the quality of wood of different layers.

Playability & Sound Performance

In our opinion, playability refers to the result of construction technology of guitar.

Actually, guitar building is never a guessing work. You can not hope to get an excellent quality by getting “lucky”. Every part of acoustic guitar has its own standard of production.

Size, shape, finishing, etc. influences the playability in many ways. Thus, such data must be figured out before production.

Through fine production, you should get a guitar with smooth surface, fine finishing and good had-feeling. When playing a guitar, the string is set up with a proper tension for easy pressing. And there should not be any problem like string buzz appears.

Well, as mentioned above, “sound” is the final and the most important aspect for “quality”. So, play it when you have it.
