2024 Latest Edition - Top 10 Most Popular Acoustic Guitar Ranking

Are you thinking of starting acoustic guitar? Maybe you’re considering buying a second acoustic guitar! In this issue of Sound House, who has more than 600 acoustic guitars in their warehouse, I am going to introduce 10 acoustic guitars that sold well in quantity in the second half of 2023. Maybe the second half of the year will be different? Please take a look at them to reference when you go to buy yourself a new guitar♪

No.10FENDER / Sonoran Mini All Mahogany

The Fender mini all mahogany ranked in the top 10! My first impression is…it’s cute. The plush, pieced-together look is very appealing. The all-mahogany construction gives it a very warm, austere, yet punchy sound! Check out the performance video on the product page.

No. 10Yamaha / FG820 Brown Sunburst Acoustic Guitar

Also in 10th place is Yamaha's FG820 series, which was also in the top 10 in the first half of the year in two colors. This is the first time for the Brown Sunburst to be ranked in the top 10! The top is made of spruce veneer and the sides and back are made of mahogany. The most distinctive feature of the FG series is the incorporation of Yamaha’s unique scalloped bracing technology. This refers to the sound bar affixed to the back side of the front board. It’s common for some parts of the sound board to be gouged, but Yamaha’s technology was used to precisely determine the position and depth of the scalloped bracing, which is particularly effective in enhancing the sound in the bass register! It is indeed a very comfortable guitar with a stable bass range.

No.8Yamaha / FG820 Black Acoustic Guitar

The FG820 series by Yamaha was also ranked in the top 8! This is the first time this color has been ranked in the list. This is a reasonably priced acoustic guitar packed with Yamaha's technology, and is perfect for beginners as well as those who are looking for a second guitar! The color is jet-black and the white binding really stands out! The Black acoustic guitar shines in black on stage, so choose one that best fits your performance image.

No.7Yamaha / FG820 Sunset Blue Acoustic Guitar

This is the third consecutive entry in the FG820 series, and this brightly-colored FG820 has made the list! As the name suggests, this color is reminiscent of the sky at sunset. As with the other colors, the gloss finish gives it a deep, dark blue color that is very beautiful! Please enjoy the art of Yamaha at your fingertips.

No.6PLAYTECH / ZD18 Sunburst Dreadnought

No. 6 is a dreadnought acoustic guitar from Sound House's own PLAYTECH brand that has an unbeatable price that even beginners can easily afford! The loud sound that is distinctive of dreadnought guitars is perfect for live street performances. The deep, austere sunburst color is also very mature. This guitar is also recommended as an introductory guitar.

No.5Yamaha / JR2 NT mini acoustic

Next is Yamaha's mini-acoustic guitar! Despite its small size (850mm in length), it’s designed for playability and sound. The slight arch on the front board provides a moderate tension and expansive sound. The exterior is a new exterior specification that is called “Mahogany Finish UTF (Ultra Thin Film), which realizes stable quality and a beautiful appearance. This is an acoustic guitar that can be enjoyed by parents and children alike, from children to adults!

No. 5Yamaha / FG820 NATURAL

This is the fourth time for the FG820 series to appear in the top five, and the natural coloring that matches the acoustic appearance is very popular. The FG820 series is also available in five other colors, including Autumn Burst! Try to find your favorite color.

No. 3Legend / FG-15 N

Ranked in third place is Legend, popular for its good value and is recommended for beginners and children! The FG-15 uses spruce for the top material and features a responsive and ringing sound. This acoustic guitar is a must-try for first-time guitar players as well as for those who want to play guitar as a hobby.

No.2Yamaha / FG830 Natural Acoustic Guitar

This model was ranked No. 1 in the first half of the year, and it was also popular in the second half! The FG830 is also popular in the second half of the year, and features an attractive avalon shell decoration that is not found on the FG820 series! The top is made of spruce veneer and the sides and back are made of rosewood. It is a very beautiful guitar with a clear yet deep sound. There is a video comparing the FG series on the product page (^-^)

No. 1PLAYTECH / AD28MC Dreadnought Cutaway Type

The winner of the second half of the year 2023 is PLAYTECH's AD28MC, which has moved up from No. 2 to No. 1. The AD28MC is made of high-grade mahogany at a surprisingly low price. It features a loud sound and clear contours! Rich-lite fretboard makes it easy for beginners to move the frets. The fretboard with RichLite allows even beginners to move the frets smoothly!
