Publisher's Synopsis
Understanding what an acoustic guitar is, including all of its essential parts and how they work, will be critical to choosing the one that is right for you. In this Riff Notes series book you'll discover everything you need to know, not only to help guide you in choosing the right acoustic guitar, but also how to understand the instrument so you can get off to a fast start. There are many types of acoustic guitars and all the basics - necks, tuning keys, fret boards, pick-ups, bridges, bodies, woods, and more - are not the same, so having a basic understanding of them will help immensely. Also included is how to do basic electric guitar maintenance and care. All of this and more will be explained in this Riff Notes book.
