	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.
		Archtop guitars were immediately adopted upon their release by both jazz and country musicians and have remained particularly popular in jazz music, usually using thicker strings (higher guaged round wound and flat wound) than acoustic guitars.
		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.

	Dobro and Non-Pedal Steel Guitar Players, Tunings and Techniques
		This page deals with dobro, a generic term for 6 or 8 string acoustic resophonic guitar, not to be confused with the brand name Dobro currently owned by Gibson Guitars; and non-pedal steel electric guitar, anywhere from 6 to 12 strings, 6 or 8 being the most common.
		Like standard guitar, the touch used on the electric is generally lighter than the touch used on acoustic, due to the lighter string gauges.
		The advantage of open G for the standard guitarist switching to steel guitar is that strings 4,3,2 are exactly the same as standard guitar tuning, which helps give you bearings on the new note layout.

		The music of Teja Gerken on his solo guitar release "Postcards" is a travelogue of textures, a satisfying mix of style and substance played on six and twelve-string steel string, and nylon string guitars.

		Steel guitars are a small family of instruments closely related to the six string Spanish guitar.

		To make this easier, the original steel guitar was held in the player's lap, and the electric ones are often referred to as a 'lap steel'.

	guitar anatomy
		The raw acoustics of the electric guitar aren't quite as interesting as the acoustic guitars (although you may be interested in Dan Russell's work); the body is essentially a good-looking hunk of wood to counterbalance the weight of the neck and to keep the strings vibrating a longer time.
		Nylon guitars usually have rather rounded bodies and the neck joins the body at half the effective string length (12th fret).

	Acoustic bass guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the electric bass guitar, which is generally a solid body instrument, the acoustic bass guitar usually has a hollow wooden body similar to (though usually somewhat larger than) that of the steel-string acoustic guitar.
		The acoustic bass guitar is an acoustic string instrument based on the configuration of the electric bass pioneered by Leo Fender's electric Fender Precision Bass.
		Thin-body semi-acoustic basses such as the violin-shaped Höfner made famous by the early Beatles and several Fender models are not normally regarded as acoustic basses at all, but rather as hollow-bodied bass guitars.

		By the late teens, Hawaiian recordings were the biggest selling records in the U.S., especially acoustic steel guitar and vocal recordings.
		Some Hawaiian steel guitar tunings (and thus, some of the Mainland steel guitar tunings) evolved from slack key tunings, especially the G Major tuning for the dobro and lap steel guitar, and the C Major 6th tuning (similar to the C Mauna Loa tuning) for the pedal steel guitar.

	baritone guitar strings
		For Steel-Strung Baritone Guitar (in B) As with conventional steel-strung guitars, the acoustic has a heavier gauge of string than the electric, with acoustic sets ranging from a 13 thou top to a 16 thou, broadly corresponding to a 10 thou to 13 thou top string on a conventional acoustic guitar.
		For Classical Baritone Guitar (in A) It's possible to use the same "dodge" as hago do for their B-Bass, combining a single string for the deepest notes, and a conventional set (minus the top string) for the remaining strings, so that each conventional string is one higher that on the classical.
