Acoustic Guitar is a monthly magazine published in the United States since July/August 1990 by String Letter Publishing. The magazine offers information related to acoustic guitars for players of all levels from beginners to teachers.
An acoustic guitar is a guitar that uses only acoustic methods to project the sound produced by its strings. The term is a retronym, coined after the advent of electric guitars, which rely on electronic amplification to make their sound audible.

After the riot
A Farida acoustic guitar was damaged when it was thrown at a limited edition (?3400) Gibson, which was also damaged.
Dawsons Music store in Manchester, the morning after the riot / looting spree. The ground floor was ransacked of keyboards and high tech gear like microphones, and considerable damage done to shopfittings, though it could have been much, much worse. The dumbass looters, whilst wrecking some guitars on the way through, largely ignored high-end Gibson and Taylor guitars to run off with entry-level beginners bass guitars. If only they'd paid attention in school, they would have been able to read the price tickets. And they complain that they can't get a job (not that they want one...).
Within an hour of these photos, the shop was open and trading, with a stream of customers and friends dropping in to wish us well - and buy stuff.
