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.

Burst

A burst guitar finish is one of the most iconic and visually striking styles in the guitar world. Characterised by a gradient that fades from a rich colour at the edges to a lighter centre—like sunburst, cherry burst, or tobacco burst—it highlights the natural beauty of the wood underneath. Originally made famous by classic Gibson models in the 1950s, burst finishes evoke a sense of vintage charm and rock ‘n’ roll heritage. Each burst is slightly different, giving the guitar a unique personality that ages beautifully over time.

Charcoal

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

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.
