An acoustic guitar is a magnificent thing. It’s simply wood and strings—and yet, it’s so much more.
What is it that makes acoustic guitars so appealing?
For one thing, they’re the all-in-one instrument. You don’t need a guitar amp and cables for a great live sound—everything you need to put on a show is in your hands. Whether you’re at home or the café around the corner, the ability to sit down and play, with no setup required, is freeing.
Then there’s the portability. Because they’re lightweight and ampless, acoustic guitars can come everywhere with you. No road trip or camping trip is complete without an acoustic guitar in the backseat. Just don’t forget your gig bag!
You can also switch genres at will. Sure, acoustic guitars may be mainstays of folk, bluegrass, and country music, but they’re incredibly versatile. Rock, jazz, and even EDM artists incorporate the acoustic guitar into their sound, both onstage and in the studio. There’s nothing an acoustic guitar can’t do.
And, of course, while you don’t have to plug in an acoustic guitar to make music, you certainly can. Choose from acoustic guitars that are electrified, so you’re stage-ready from the moment you bring your new instrument home. You’ll even find beginner acoustic guitars with a built-in pickup and equalizer, allowing you to perform at home, onstage, and everywhere in between.
At Gibson, we sell many acoustic guitars made with Sitka spruce and other materials that are made to last a lifetime. We know you’ll want to bring your guitar everywhere with you—and that’s why we make them durable, beautiful, and infinitely playable.
Our acoustic guitars are a masterclass in sound and expression. From the booming low end of the SJ-200 to the twinkling highs of a small-bodied L-00, you can find your sound at Gibson.
