"Acoustic vs Electric!

Whether you are a beginning or intermediate guitar player, choosing the right guitar involves a few questions. First what type of music do you want to play? Second, what guitar does your favorite artist play, acoustic or electric? Then choose the type of guitar that inspires you to have the passion to play!

An acoustic guitar is great for country or pop music while an electric guitar is typically used for rock-n-roll, blues etc. However, both an acoustic and electric guitar can be used for any type of music. One advantage of an acoustic guitar is that it can be played right out of the box while an electric guitar requires an amplifier.

Acoustic guitars come in a few different flavors; however, the standard dreadnought is by far and away the most common style. Electric guitars, on the other hand, offer many different choices. Whether you choose a Les Paul, a Stratocaster, or a different body style, this really comes down to personal preference.

For the guitarist wanting an acoustic tone with the ability to plug in to an amplifier, an acoustic electric guitar combines the best of both worlds. An acoustic electric consists of an acoustic guitar with a built in pickup that allows you to use a standard instrument cable to plug into an amplifier.

American Musical Supply also offers guitar packages in both acoustic and electric versions, which include everything to get started right out of the box. These packages are perfect as gifts or for the player that wants all the accessories provided.

Choosing an instrument is a very personal decision so remember to select one for playability, comfort and tone. "
