Frequently Asked Questions

Have a Question? We've Got the Answer!

What brands of acoustic guitars are the most popular?

Alvarez, Tanglewood, Cort, Martin, K. Yairi, Crafter and D’Angelico offer a range of popular acoustic guitars available at Music Planet NZ

What are the best acoustic guitars for beginners?

For beginners, some of the best acoustic guitars include Alvarez AD60, Tanglewood TW28, Cort AD810, Martin LX1 Little Martin, and D’Angelico Premier EXL-1. These models are easy to play, stay in tune, and deliver a great tone, making them ideal for learning chords and songs at home.

What is the difference between acoustic and classical guitars?

Acoustic guitars typically have steel strings, producing a bright, crisp sound suited for pop, rock, and folk music. Classical guitars use nylon strings, giving a softer, warmer tone that’s ideal for classical, flamenco, or fingerstyle playing.

What body size should I choose? (Dreadnought vs. Parlor vs. Concert)

Body size affects comfort and tone. Dreadnought guitars have a larger body with strong bass and volume, great for strumming and band playing. Concert guitars are mid‑sized with a balanced tone and are more comfortable for players with smaller frames. Parlor guitars are smaller and more comfortable to hold, with focused, articulate sound, ideal for fingerstyle or travelling.

What is a "Solid Top" and why does it matter for tone?

A solid top refers to the front facing part of the guitars body, made from a single piece of solid wood rather than laminated layers. Solid tops produce richer, more resonant tones that improve with age and playing.

What is the lifespan of an acoustic guitar?

The lifespan of an acoustic guitar depends on its build quality, care, and playing conditions. A well-made guitar from brands like Alvarez, Tanglewood, Cort, Martin, or D’Angelico can last decades with proper maintenance, including regular string changes, humidity control, and safe storage.

How should acoustic guitars be stored to prevent damage?

Acoustic guitars should be stored in a hard case or padded gig bag to protect them from bumps and dust. Keep them in a stable environment away from direct sunlight, heaters, or damp areas, as extreme temperatures and humidity can warp the wood.
