Old Town School Music Store: Laminated Wood Vs. Solid Wood

March 24, 2008
Acoustic Finishes

We visited Tim Joyce at Old Town School Music Store where Tim showed what it is to look for when buying an acoustic guitar -- specifically, your first acoustic. Tim explains the major differences between laminate, solid top and all solid wood guitars and shows how to differentiate between the three in terms of appearance, sound and feel.

Stay tuned for more with Tim Joyce at Old Town School of Folk Music.

By: Andrew Waugh

This chap makes sense while he's talking but the recording of the actual guitar sounds lets him down. The first 2 sound identical, and the third merely a little more mellow.
