Comparing Two Leading Brands Of Acoustic Guitar
From beginners to professionals, it is important when looking for a new guitar to know what brands will offer the best in quality, range and sound production. Buyers should be aware of what body shape will best suit their needs, which materials provide the best quality, and which guitars offer good sound in a visually appealing guitar.
Deciding on a body shape will depend on what you are using the guitar for. A steel-stringed dreadnought acoustic guitar is great for stand alone performances by artists with a little experience. It has a bigger, more bass sound than the smaller classic body guitar, and a tone that many artists prefer.
Smaller instruments, such as the nylon-stringed classic acoustic and the steel-stringed artist body shape are ideal for beginners. They offer a good sound whilst being easier to hold. They are also used by artists who perform with a band, as they produce a more treble sound that carries better over the noise of other instruments, and causes less feedback.
The Alvarez acoustic guitar is world-renowned for being an excellent quality instrument that demonstrates attention to tradition and detail and produces a pleasing tone. Alvarez is based in St Louis, Missouri. Mostly their guitars are made in China. However, Kazou Yairi of Gifu, Japan, hand-crafts a number of higher-end instruments himself.
An especially popular series in the Alvarez range is the Regent series. Beginners gravitate towards these less expensive entry level instruments for the smaller price tags and assurance of quality. Compared to other brands, Alvarez offers a superior product at this level. They ensure optimum tone and excellent tuning stability in all their guitars.
At the other end of the scale is the Masterworks series, which offers the best in performance and visual appeal. Though they are more expensive, they are an excellent choice for the discerning artist who is looking for the best in tone and quality.
Takamine is another highly distinguished guitar manufacturer. Since they began operation in the early 1960's, they have maintained a high level of innovation, including being the first to manufacture acoustic/electric guitars. What started as a small family business has grown into one of the world's biggest producers of quality guitars. The Takamine acoustic guitar is usually modelled to resemble Martin guitars, though without the accompanying price tag.
In comparing these two brands, it is important to keep in mind that there is no one acoustic guitar that will suit all players. Different players will prefer different tones and body shapes. Takamine produces a very wide range of guitars for all budgets and skill levels, but many dislike the bright, clean tone that these instruments produce. The Alvarez is popular for its rich, mellow tone.
