To the untrained eyes many guitars look alike, but even guitars that appear to look alike may have very different sounds. There are also many variations in hardware that guitar aficionados recognize. It goes without saying there are dozens of guitars that look nothing alike too! Here is a range of guitar styles.Perhaps the most universally summoned image of a guitar is that of the dreadnought acoustic, so called because of the guitar's resemblance to the battleship with the same name. Though Martin coined the term, the word "dreadnought" has become a general phrase to describe standard steel string acoustic guitars. They can range in the details: some have cut-aways, some have inlays on the fret board, and they can range in colours from standard browns to blacks to sunbursts. A lot of mellow rock and roll, country and folk are played on acoustics because of their down to earth sound, stripped down sound.The classical guitar is a little different in appearance to the standard acoustic. It has a thicker, usually shorter neck. Crucially, its strings are made of nylon, not steel, which produces a mellower sound used for classical music and even jazz and blues on occasion.
