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.
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 Originally made famous by classic Gibson models in the 1950s, burst finishes evoke a sense of vintage charm and rock ‘n’ roll heritage.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.
An electro-acoustic guitar is an acoustic guitar equipped with built-in electronics—usually a pickup and preamp—that allow it to be easily amplified without losing its natural, warm acoustic tone. This makes it perfect for live performances, recording, or playing with a band, where projecting sound clearly is essential. Electro-acoustics offer the best of both worlds: the rich, resonant sound of an acoustic with the convenience and versatility of electric amplification. Many models also include onboard tone controls and tuners, giving players more control over their sound on stage or in the studio.
Maple is a popular tonewood used in the construction of guitar necks, fretboards, and bodies. Known for its bright, clear sound with strong attack and sustain, maple adds definition and snap to your tone. It’s also prized for its durability and smooth playing feel. Visually, maple often features a light, attractive grain and can be finished in various ways to highlight its natural beauty. Many iconic guitars use maple components to achieve that classic, vibrant sound.
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.
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.

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.
