A few weeks ago, I ordered a new acoustic guitar for my birthday which is in around a week. It still hasn’t arrived yet, but I hope it will arrive within the next two or three weeks. The guitar was Baton Rouge’s AR11C/ACE model. Baton Rouge makes a lot of other models, but the reason why I chose the AR11C model was because it wasn’t too expensive. It also has a cutaway next to the higher frets making it easier to play higher notes as well. The AR11C/ACE is part of Baton Rouge’s Auditorium guitars which are designed for fingerstyle guitar which is what I play. Most of the Auditorium guitars also have a pickup system so you can plug the guitar into an amplifier making it an acoustic/electric guitar. A few guitar players I enjoy listening to also use Baton Rouge guitars like Eddie Van Der Meer and Andrew Foy.
From my experience with acoustic guitars, the strings are tighter than my Yamaha Pacifica PAC311H which is an electric guitar that I’ve had for a while now. With an acoustic guitar, I won’t need an amplifier to be able to easily hear myself playing and I could perform more of the percussive techniques. When the new guitar arrives I’d probably be more motivated to play and practice some songs that I’ve already learned or am trying to learn. I’m most likely going to write again after I receive and use the new guitar with my opinion and thoughts on the guitar.
