Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best acoustic guitar for a beginner?
We highly recommend the Eastman PCH Series or the Martin Road Series. Both offer solid spruce tops and professional playability at an entry-level price point. Unlike cheap "starter packs," these are real instruments that inspire you to play.
What is the difference between solid top and laminate?
A solid top is a single piece of wood that vibrates freely, creating better tone and volume that improves with age. Laminate is layered wood (plywood) that is more durable but less resonant. We recommend always choosing a guitar with at least a solid top for the best sound.
Do you set up guitars before shipping?
Yes! Every guitar from The Acoustic Shoppe—regardless of price—receives our exclusive 23-Point Professional Setup. We adjust the nut, saddle, truss rod, and fretwork to ensure low action and easy playability right out of the box.
What is the difference between a Dreadnought and an OM?
The Dreadnought is larger and produces a deep, booming bass perfect for strumming and bluegrass. The OM (Orchestra Model) is smaller with a "waist," offering a more balanced tone that is ideal for fingerstyle playing and recording.
Does The Acoustic Shoppe offer financing?
Yes, we offer several financing options including Affirm and Shop Pay Installments, allowing you to split your purchase into manageable payments. You can select these options at checkout.
