The Acoustic Guitar

*Hardware and Decoration*

A Highly Decorated Guitar

Hardware and decorations are parts of the guitar that don't

necessarily improve the sound or playability of the insturment

These are decorations such as expensive tuners and Mother of

pearl inlays.



Heavily Decorated guitars are much more expensive due to the

Time and crafsmanship that goes into them the following

Table illustrates that point.
