Guitar Brands

Hello and welcome.
This time I'm gonna share about another things that wee need to know when choosing a guitar or for easy classification as a basic knowledge that a guitarist should know well.
Here I have listed and described a lil about guitar brands that are most popular among guitarist and are commonly used in the music industry. There are a couple of guitar manufacturers that have been around for many decades, known for the general good quality of their instruments:

Yamaha is well known for the quality of its instruments making a wide variety of acoustic and electric guitars, most of which are copies of popular American models, although a few are original in design to Yamaha. They also make a line of classical-style guitars based on Spanish models.

Ibanez guitars were best-known for their reasonably priced copies of popular electric guitars, including models inspired by Les Paul and the Stratocaster in the early 1970's. Using cheaper materials and automation in manufacturing, they were able to sell their high quality guitars for a significantly lower price than the originals. They abandoned the strategy of copying classic electric guitar designs and the newer models began incorporating more unique design elements such as slimmer necks, radical body shapes and flatter fingerboards, colorful finishes and higher-output electronics.

Gibson The Gibson Company has a long history, going back to the 1890's. After a period of corporate ownership in the 70's, the company underwent a remarkable revival. They make acoustic, folk guitars, jazz models and the famous Les Paul electric guitar or the Flying V. They have also imported less expensive Japanese-made instruments, marketed under the Epiphone name.

Schecter, is an American guitar manufacturer. The company was founded in 1976 by David Schecter and originally produced only replacement parts for existing guitars from manufacturers such as Fender and Gibson. Today, the company mass-produces its own line of electric guitars, bass guitars, and steel-string acoustic guitars.

Fender was founded in the early fifties by Leo Fender, this company is famous for two guitars, the Telecaster and Stratocaster, as well as its Jazzmaster bass guitar. Original Stratocasters from the 50's are worth huge sums of money.

Jackson guitars were equipped with angled, pointy headstocks and unique body designs - a couple of things that really made the brand stand out. Jackson Guitars was started in 1978 by Grover Jackson, a part owner of Charvel guitars. The merging of Jackson and Charvel happened in the 1980's. Charvel guitars where based on the Fender Stratocaster with bolt-on necks while the Jackson guitars had more unique body shapes often with an aggressive look, popular with harder rock and metal music.

Martin makes some classical and acoustic-electric instruments, but basically is known for their large-bodied, Dreadnought styled guitars, the standard for acoustic players.

Alvarez acoustic guitars are a popular choice among leading guitarists worldwide. Their quality originates from an exclusive relationship with Japanese luthier Kazuo Yairi whose family had an experience of more than 60 years in hand crafting fine classical instruments. The company's current, skilled workers continue this tradition and their attention to detail and quality separates Alvarez from other acoustic guitar manufacturers.
