ACOUSTIC GUITARs (Steel String)

Steel-String Acoustic Guitars are extremely versatile instruments and are used in many different styles of music. Steel string acoustic guitars have a larger body size than Nylon String guitars, but also have a narrower neck and fingerboard which makes stretching between notes on the neck more comfortable. 

Steel string acoustic guitars can be played with the pick or with the fingers, and can produce a wide range of tones depending on the wood types used to build the guitar. Many steel string acoustic guitars also come with electronics built in that can amplify the guitar through an amplifier or PA system. 

Compared to nylon strings, steel strings are thicker and therefore harder for beginning guitarists to press down and can lead to finger fatigue as you develop calluses on your fretting hand. It is important for beginning guitarists to spend time acclimating to the pressure required in their fretting hand on the acoustic guitar.
