Acoustic Guitars

The acoustic guitar is an instrument that speaks for generations of music. For nearly two centuries, the acoustic guitar, as we know it today, has represented countless cultures and lifestyles. Our acoustic guitar shop is a place where beginners, collectors, and working players can explore instruments with rich tone, smooth playability, and reliable craftsmanship.

The acoustic guitar’s foundation was largely started in the middle ages in which the “lute”, a guitar-like instrument often made with five or six course or unison strings, was strummed to entertain heads-of-state as well as the people of a town. The lute would eventually prove to be largely unreliable, much of this is due to the composition of the strings being made of animal gut and fairing quite poorly in differences in temperature, humidity, and lack of endurance. This led to the development of the acoustic guitar. With the inclusion of the soundhole as well as increased knowledge of acoustic properties the structure of the acoustic guitar began to take the shape of what it is today. It was realized that the vibrations of a guitar’s top in conjunction with the oscillation of strings would create sound in which bounced throughout the chamber of the wooden body and ultimately be voiced through the soundhole with resonance and volume.

In Nazareth, Pennsylvania in the year 1833, Christian Frederick Martin began the C.F. Martin & Company guitar company in which here at Nstuff we are exceptionally proud to be an officially dealer of their instruments. Chris Martin brought to the forefront of guitars the “steel string” in which would totally replace the previously used and unreliable gut strings. The traditional “dreadnought” style guitar in addition to scalloped bracing was also created, two styles in which a majority of acoustic guitars replicate today.

N Stuff Music is a proud dealer of the finest acoustic guitars in the industry, from Yamaha to Fender to Cordoba. We are also quite proud to carry a plethora of Martin, Taylor, and Eastman instruments, which represent the very finest production in acoustic guitars.
