  Guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The main purpose of the bridge on an acoustic guitar is to transfer the vibration from the strings to the soundboard, which vibrates the air inside of the guitar, thereby amplifying the sound produced by the strings.
Guitars usually have six strings, although there are variations on this, the most common being a twelve-string guitar; the seven string guitar; the ukulele, which has four strings; and the bass guitar, which usually has four strings but also exists in five, six, eight, and twelve-string versions.
Acoustic bass guitars also have steel strings, and match the tuning of the electric bass, which is likewise similar to the traditional double bass viol, the "big bass", a staple of string orchestras and bluegrass bands alike.

 Semi-acoustic Guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A semi-acoustic guitar or (hollow-body electric) is a type of electric guitar.
Like electric guitars, semi-acoustics have a pickup which magnetically captures the string vibrations and transmits the pitches produced as electrical impulses to the amplifiers, loudspeakers and other appropriate devices which accept this type of input.
Semi-acoustics are capable of producing a fuller and richer tone than most solid-bodied electric guitars, and can be played at a much louder volume than simple acoustic models.

The majority of acoustic basses are fretted but a significant number are fretless instead.
Because it is virtually impossible for a strictly acoustic bass to be heard over other instruments, even acoustic guitars, many (but by no means all) acoustic basses are fitted with internal pickups, either magnetic or piezoelectric or both, so that they can optionally be used with an amplifier.
As with semi-acoustic electric guitars, the line between acoustic instruments fitted with pickups and electric instruments with tone-enhancing bodies is sometimes hard to draw.

All of the tracks are complex for quick comprehension and are filled with highly polymorphous, yet, excellently harmonized noises, which was achieved thanks to the well-coordinated interplay between all five of the band members, each of whom used a few special sound-making instruments.
Also, two of the band members, one of whom is of the female gender, use their voices as additional instruments, which have place on six out of the eight tracks on the CD: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 7.

 KGB Jazz Guitar Review from Guitar Magazine,KGB Music,luthier,UK
When Keith G.Bennion said he had a guitar TGM might like to see, he was being typically understated: the thinline jazzer that subsequently appeared proved exceptional.
Check the build: subtly arched hand-carved bookmatched flame maple top, two piece mahogany body with routed sound chambers, finely scraped natural edge binding, the subtle vintage sunburst (Keith uses a thin acrylic lacquer: 'it has similar properties to cellulose,' he claims, 'but it's less likely to crack or craze').
The PRS McCarty sounds quite PAF-like: brightish and clear with smooth mids, a well-balanced bass and slinky highs; the Duncan is louder with a thicker, fluid tone that really suits the jazzier aspects of the guitar.
