Classical Guitar Construction

Think about this for a moment

Classical Guitar Construction, Instruments similar to the modern guitar said to have been around for over 5000 years. That is, indeed, a long time. Surprisingly though, they kept the same overall look and sound over the years. Here are the different parts of the guitar, what each for, and what to look for.

Frets
These are the nickel alloy or stainless steel strips embedded along the fretboard. Each fret determines a different pitch. Frets are usually the first permanent part to wear out on a heavily played guitar. They are available in several different gauges, depending on the type of guitar what you want.

The Body
This going to be the major determinant of the overall sound for your acoustic guitar.
