History and Evolution
The guitar's history stretches back over centuries, with the modern classical guitar taking shape in the 19th century. Acoustic guitars evolved with the introduction of steel strings and larger bodies in the 20th century. Iconic models and musicians have shaped their evolution, making both instruments central to various music genres.
The Anatomy of Acoustic and Classical Guitars
Acoustic and classical guitars share many parts, such as the body, neck, fretboard, headstock, and tuners. However, classical guitars typically have nylon strings, wider necks, and smaller bodies, which contribute to their distinctive mellow tone. Acoustic guitars, designed for a broader range of music, often feature steel strings that produce a brighter sound.
