acoustic guitars

Non-electric string instruments

Acoustic guitars are guitars that produce sound through a hollow wooden body rather than electronic amplification.

The vibration of the strings resonates in the sound chamber, creating volume and tone without need for external equipment.

Distinguished from electric guitars, they're favored for folk, classical, and unplugged performances: She switched to acoustic guitar for the ballad.
