Top 10 folk guitar brands in the world
United States
MarTin
Recognized as the best musical instrument company in the world, and the oldest in the acoustic guitar at present, it began in 1833, and it is also a family business, which has been passed down for six generations, and the piano must have nothing to say, but after all, all family businesses have the same problem, that is, the development is relatively slow, there is not much innovation, and the era of its classic model (D28) is gone forever, but the stability of Martin's timbre, no one can surpass.
Taylor
Started in 1974, it is Taylor who can be on the same level as Martin, and it has developed in the form of a company, and has used the most advanced technology to practice on the guitar, NT neck, ES pickup system has never been seen before, so now everyone should understand why so many world star performances use Taylor's guitar, and here's why.
Gibson
Needless to say, it only produces high-end acoustic guitars, and its company's electric guitars are among the best in the world, and every guitarist wants to own a Gibson.
Ovation (Owison)
The world's first panel made of carbon fiber material, only one-third the weight of ordinary spruce, but several times stronger, is characterized by grape sound holes.
Greven
This brand may not be familiar to everyone, but Oshio Kotaro (Japanese fingerstyle master) everyone should know, Oshio personal collection of ten of this piano, basically all the recordings of Oshio are completed by this brand of piano, the most classic model D-45 World War II period can be comparable to Martin timbre, some models even beyond, combined with the advantages of Martin and Gibson, it is really a luxury in the handmade guitar, and the local tyrant god can pass by.
Breedlove (B. Braun)
This piano is more interesting than the Eastman piano, one is a veteran luthier from Taylor's factory, and he started anew, that is, he has always imitated Taylor, but never surpassed it.
Eastman
Like B. Braun, the senior luthiers from the Martin factory specialize in imitating the tone and shape of Martin from World War II, and the jazz guitars of this brand are remarkable.
Santa cruz
Started in 1968, although the start time is not very early, but this brand is still a bull, where is the cow, there is only one general handmade luthier, but the team of this brand is a master luthier, they combine the guitar development of nearly two hundred knowledge and experience is practice, the pursuit of better timbre balance and tone. Enthusiasts and tyrants can consider.
Dream voice
Founded in 1962, mid-to-high-end handmade custom pianos. The biggest feature of this brand is that the sound source is very well handled, which is worth having for musicians who are looking for tone.
Ayers
Ayers Guitars USA is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, founded in 1989, strictly speaking, the company's characteristics are that every Ayers guitar has a lifetime warranty, 60 days to return, haha this benefit if in China for sure....
Andrew whit
The second-line high-end handmade custom piano in the United States (similar to the positioning of the domestic fledgling Li guitar) is very beautiful, and I still like it personally, and the designers are inspired by the classical mythological goddesses, not to mention the timbre, it is certainly not bad.
There are a number of other American brands at different price points, such as Doolin, Froggy, Bottom, Grimes, H.G.Leach, Huss & Dalton, Klein, McAllister, Mcpherson, Tippin, Wechter, Everett, Guild, Tacoma, and many more.
Japan
Morris
Japan's most handmade brand, founded in the 70s by Mr. Toshio Moridaira, because of the previous work with Gibson, I was fortunate to visit Gibson's factory, and since then I have determined to put the positioning of Japanese guitars up, the same combination of Martin and Gibson's advantages, positioning high-end, in 1978 and absorb the advantages of ovation, in one fell swoop to put their brand positioning up, Japanese fingerprint master Nakagawa Sandto and Takasawa Daisuke and other masters have used this brand.
Takamine
Started in 1978, the concept of the electric box piano was introduced, and it became popular for a while, the original soundchoice pre-amp system, so that a xylophone can easily have a few tones, for this kind of brand with its own innovative things, I like it very much.
Kawashima
Canadian luthier, born in a Japanese luthier family, has worked for Roland, Takemine, handmade brands, not much information can be found on the Internet.
Syairi
Founded in 1938, to be honest, after the introduction of this piano into China, it was really like a tornado, and it was crazy, at that time, I personally felt that the appearance of this piano was very harmonious, very beautiful, and the timbre felt good, the key is that the price was also very suitable, so good things, especially guitars, everyone thinks that good is really good, but maybe dark horses are like this, come fast, go fast, From this, I thought of the domestic (Lavis) and I was a little worried about whether I would repeat the mistakes of the past, but I can still see Yayli's guitars on the market, and I personally feel that it will not go back to the past.
