Types of Guitars - Acoustic Electric Guitars, Electric Guitars, Classical Guitars, Hollow-body Guitars, Steel Guitars

Acoustic electric Guitars: this is a term used to describe acoustic guitars that have pickups installed in them so they can be plugged into amplifiers or PA systems. The majority of acoustic guitars you see on stage are acoustic electric guitars.

Structurally, they are identical to traditional acoustic guitars.Electric Guitars: these types of guitars made out of a solid piece of wood and rely exclusively on their electronic pickup systems and amplifiers for their volume. Their unique sound lends itself best to rock and roll, but they have also substantially shaped the sound of country music in the last 50 years. (Think "twang")

Classical Guitars: also called "nylon-string", classical guitars are used almost exclusively in the classical and folk idioms, but can also be found on more popular recordings.

Carlos Santana makes a lot of use of the classical guitar in his recordings. Slightly smaller than a traditional acoustic, they feature slightly wider necks and strings that are made of nylon rather than steel, to give them a very gentle, warm sound. The best Classical guitars are usually from Spain.

Hollow-body Guitars: These are simply traditional electric guitars that have chambers cut in the body to allow for more sonic resonance. They come in many different sizes and are favored primarily by players of blues and jazz music.

Steel Guitars: These are the farthest breed apart from traditional guitars so far. While any guitarist can pick up any guitar from the above list and play, a steel guitar requires special training to play. The guitar is played flat on its back, and the strings are elevated approximately half an inch above the fretboard. This allows the strings to be played using a "tone bar" that takes the place of the fingers on a fretboard and gives the steel guitar its classic "crying sound". This is the archetypal guitar sound.

Douglas 5 String Neck Thru Bass Guitar Model WPB955T


I bought this bass guitar from Rondo Music in 2008 and played it for less than an hour. Still has the original strings on it and is in pristine as new condition. I bought it to do some recording, but I never got around to it, so it has sat for several months in my closet. I purchased a brand new Fender ($74 new) Extra Deluxe style gig bag for her. This bag is the most padded gig bag i've ever seen. This is a killer sounding and playing bass, and features: Ash Body w/Walnut Runners, Maple neck, Active EQ, Brass Nut, Saturn Inlays, Fantastic Hardware and pickups (BTW are Active and require a battery change every now and then) Neck Thru for incredible sustain, Fender Gig Bag and more. The red paint on the ASH body is translucent, so you can see the woodgrain, which is outstanding. Plastic still on the back electronics plate. Missing from when I recieved it, is 2 small bottom screws that hold on the truss rod cover. This bass rocks and sounds awesome.
