With the Ibanez VC44-OPNacoustic guitarAcoustic guitar: An acoustic guitar is a musical instrument in the string family. When a string is plucked, its vibration is transmitted from the bridge, resonating throughout the top of the guitar. It is also transmitted to the side and back of the instrument, resonating through the air in the body, and producing sound from the sound hole. The original, general term for this stringed instrument is guitar, and the retronym 'acoustic guitar' distinguishes it from an electric guitar, which relies on electronic amplification. In standard tuning, the guitar's six strings are tuned (low to high) E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4. The guitar likely originated in Spain in the early 16th century, deriving from the guitarra latina. the traditional Japanese manufacturer presents a perfect travel and beginner's guitar that is a musical enrichment for on the road and also makes it much easier for beginners to take their first steps on the instrument.
