Acoustic Guitar Manual: How to Buy, Maintain and Set Up Your Acoustic Guitar (Haynes Manual/Music)

Product Description New in Paperback. Most rock and pop guitarists begin their playing on an acoustic guitar, and the advent of MTV's Unplugged and improvements in acoustic amplification mean this once poor relation has returned to centre stage - although, of course, the acoustic guitar has always reigned supreme in classical, flamenco, folk, delta blues and country music.
