Acoustic Handmade Guitars

For authentic stringed sound, many guitarists prefer acoustic handmade guitars. The natural wood grain combined with the body style creates a specific sound, one that is particularly conducive to certain genres of music, whereas the electric guitars may lend themselves better to others. If you like the more modern styles with the classical acoustic sound, you might be interested in steel string acoustic guitars. Whichever sound you gravitate toward or whichever method you prefer to play, Luthier’s Collection has the instruments you need from the world’s leading guitar makers.

The natural acoustic sound is largely predominant in the following musical genres:

Folk music
Bluegrass and traditional country
Rhythm and blues

Acoustic guitars, however, are a staple instrument in classical styles and modern music, especially with the technology that exists currently. The sound can be amplified, distorted, elaborated, and more. Even the rock genre—notably preferential to the electric guitar—takes advantage of this distinct, “unplugged” sound created by the acoustic counterpart.

Acoustic handmade guitars are a fixture in the music industry. They have been around forever and have changed many times over the generations. They continue to be enhanced and changed by master luthiers around the world.
