Unique acoustic guitars are the perfect expression for unique guitar players who want to have multiple dimensions to their sound. Unique guitars may be unique for their looks, or they may be custom built guitars. Not many guitar players have purple guitars or pink guitars or guitars that have salamanders painted all over them. Unique acoustic guitars may also be custom built for a baritone range, or to have seven strings, or to have a harp neck in addition to the regular neck, or to accommodate guitar players with relatively small hands, or to have scalloped necks. One thing that most people know, however, is that unique guitars are eye catching, or ear surprising, or both together.
Unique acoustic guitars might be designed and built around specific sounds or styles of music, or they may be designed and built around visual themes. Research sometime the unique guitars built for unique guitar playing personalities like electric guitar wizard Steve Vai! When it comes specifically to unique acoustic guitars, there are luthiers who specialize in these such as Joel Guitars, Worland Guitars, and now even famed unique guitar makers of the electric kind at the Paul Reed Smith company.
Unique acoustic guitars don’t need to be custom designed. There are unique-looking acoustic guitars that can be bought from existing stock. Quite often these are of outlandish painting schemes, color-wise. Other times, unique guitars are made as limited line stocks, meaning a certain unique design of guitar is made by a guitar maker and put on the market for anyone who wants one. This is a good thing, because custom built guitars cost much more money than stock guitars, even unique stock guitars.
There are well-known unique acoustic guitars. Among these are compact guitars, and a sub-group of these called travel guitars. Compact guitars are made with smaller bodies, and sometimes with thinner necks, for smaller-bodied people. Travel guitars are small bodied guitars made with a different purpose: ease of transportation. Hence the name. A travel guitar may come apart easily so that it can be easily carried and re-assembled. Another well-known unique acoustic guitar is the Martin OM (Orchestra Model) guitar. This is a guitar that Martin developed by shortening the body of the company’s 000 model, which was a guitar size a little big smaller than their even more famous Dreadnought acoustic guitar so beloved among country guitar players and rock players. The Martin OM guitar was supposed to be for guitar players who were used to playing classical guitar, but many bluegrass guitar players have since fallen in love with this model and play it extensively. And one of the more unique acoustic guitars today is the cutaway neck acoustic, which was designed to give electric guitar players an acoustic guitar with an electric guitar feel.
So, you have plenty of options if you’re checking out unique acoustic guitars. Find one that fits your needs and your budget.
