Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars are timeless instruments known for their warm, natural sound and versatility across genres like folk, blues, rock, and classical. Played unplugged or with a pickup for amplification, they come in various body shapes such as dreadnought, concert, and parlour, each offering unique tone and comfort. This category includes everything you need for your acoustic journey—from full-sized steel-string and classical guitars to travel-sized models, pickups, preamps, cases, and essential accessories. Whether you’re strumming chords or fingerpicking melodies, our range covers it all for beginners and seasoned players alike.

Natural

Red

A red guitar is bold, fiery, and full of attitude. Whether it’s a deep wine red, classic cherry, or bright candy apple, red guitars command attention and radiate energy on stage. They’ve long been associated with passion and power—think of iconic players like Hank Marvin or John Frusciante, who helped cement red guitars in music history. The colour suits a range of styles, from vintage to modern, and pairs beautifully with both chrome and black hardware. For players who want to make a statement without saying a word, red is always a strong choice.

Top

The top of a guitar refers to the front face of the body, usually the wood panel that has the sound hole on an acoustic or the pickups mounted on an electric. It’s one of the most important parts for tone, especially on acoustics, where the top’s wood type, thickness, and construction greatly affect resonance, volume, and warmth.

Common woods for guitar tops include spruce, cedar, and maple. On electrics, the top can also be a separate piece with special finishes or inlays, adding to the instrument’s aesthetics as well as its sound character.

Transparent

A transparent guitar finish showcases the natural beauty of the wood by using a clear or lightly tinted coating that lets the grain and texture shine through. This type of finish highlights the craftsmanship and quality of the tonewood, giving each instrument a unique look since no two pieces of wood are exactly alike. Transparent finishes can range from glossy and polished to matte and satin, offering both aesthetic appeal and protection without hiding the guitar’s character. It’s a favourite among players who appreciate classic, organic style and want their guitar to speak visually as well as sonically.

About Ibanez

We have new and used Ibanez musical equipment available on our website for fast direct delivery from sellers across the UK & Europe.

The Hoshino Gakki company began in 1908 as the musical instrument sales division of the Hoshino Shoten, a bookstore chain. Hoshino Gakki decided in 1935 to make Spanish-style acoustic guitars, at first using the “Ibanez Salvador” brand name in honor of Spanish luthier Salvador Ibáñez, and later simply “Ibanez”.

In the 1970s, the Nisshin Onpa company who owned the Maxon brand name, developed and began selling a series of effect pedals in Japan. Hoshino Gakki licensed these for sale using the name Ibanez outside Japan. These two companies eventually began doing less and less business together until Nisshin Onpa ceased manufacturing the TS-9 reissue for Hoshino Gakki in 2002.
