Choosing a Musical Instrument - Folk Guitar Tips
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Let's take a look at a folk guitar. This particular instrument is a steel string guitar, but the
body is classical guitar shaped and sized. It doesn't have nylon strings like a standard
classical would, and the neck is narrower as in standard traditional steel strung instruments,
so that's a little easier to play. This instrument features a high quality gloss finish, a cedar
soundboard, abalone inlay, which is the king of inlay materials for its beauty, a very
nice set of tuning machines considered perhaps the best, and a very beautifully inlayed centered
stripe in the back here. The sides of the guitar and the back of this guitar feature
mahogany. This guitar will have a very nice open tone, it's a very good sounding instrument,
yet it's affordable for most people looking for this class of instrument. This is a folk
guitar with steel strings, and it's a very good intermediate grade instrument.
