What Is a Semi Acoustic Guitar?

A semi acoustic guitar also known as an electro acoustic guitar is an acoustic guitar with a built-in pickup and preamp system that allows you to plug into an amplifier or PA system for live performance.

Does Wood Type Affect Guitar Sound?

Yes absolutely. The Westwood GC-8E M Semi Acoustic Guitar uses mahogany for the top, back, sides and neck. Mahogany produces a warm full and rich sound with excellent sustain and mid-range depth that is especially well suited to fingerpicking, blues and folk styles. Unlike spruce which delivers a brighter and crisper sound, mahogany gives you a warmer more focused tone that improves with playing over time and translates beautifully through the built-in pickup system for live performance.
