A 12-string guitar is a type of guitar that has twelve strings arranged in six pairs, or courses, with each pair tuned either in unison or an octave apart. This setup creates a richer, fuller, and more shimmering sound compared to a standard six-string guitar. Often used in folk, rock, and blues, 12-string guitars add natural chorus and resonance, making them ideal for rhythm playing and jangly textures. They can be acoustic or electric, but require a slightly different playing technique due to the paired strings.
Acoustic guitars are beloved for their rich, natural sound that requires no amplification, making them perfect for intimate settings, songwriting, and practice. Available in various shapes and sizes—from full-bodied dreadnoughts to smaller parlour and travel models—they offer diverse tonal qualities to suit different playing styles. This category includes steel-string and classical guitars, along with accessories like cases, strings, and picks, providing everything you need to enjoy the pure, resonant tones of acoustic playing.
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.
An electro-acoustic guitar is an acoustic guitar fitted with a built-in pickup or microphone, allowing it to be plugged into amps, effects units, PA systems, or recording gear. It retains the natural tone and resonance of a regular acoustic guitar but with added flexibility for live performance or studio use. Electro-acoustic guitars aren’t tied to any one style—they’re used in everything from folk and rock to classical and jazz—offering traditional sound with modern convenience.

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.
