When buying a 6 string acoustic guitar, there are a number of factors one should take into account. Most notably, acoustic guitars come in a variety of sizes. From smaller guitars all the way up to the legendary Dreadnought, it's important to find the size that best suits your needs. Also, the shape of the body changes from guitar to guitar with a cut-away design offering you easier access to the upper frets, which is certainly something a lot of players will appreciate. Equally as important to the body is the neck of your guitar. You will want to have a neck that you are comfortable holding in your hand. As a general rule, you can expect the size of your guitar's neck to directly correlate to the size of the body‰Û_ the smaller the guitar, the smaller the neck. Acoustic necks are usually listed as 12-fret or 14-fret, referring to the total number of frets that clear your guitar's body.As well, different types of wood will produce different types of tone for your guitar. A wide variety of options exist, each of which give you a distinct sound and tone.
