Traditional acoustic guitars include the flat top guitar (typically with a large sound hole) or an archtop guitar, which is sometimes called a " jazz guitar". There are three main types of modern guitar: the classical guitar (Spanish guitar/nylon-string guitar) the steel-string acoustic guitar or electric guitar and the Hawaiian guitar (played across the player's lap). The guitar's ancestors include the gittern, the vihuela, the four- course Renaissance guitar, and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed to the development of the modern six-string instrument. Steel guitar strings were introduced near the end of the nineteenth century in the United States nylon strings came in the 1940s. Historically, a guitar was constructed from wood with its strings made of catgut. The guitar is classified as a chordophone – meaning the sound is produced by a vibrating string stretched between two fixed points. The sound of the guitar is projected either acoustically, by means of a resonant chamber on the instrument, or amplified by an electronic pickup and an amplifier. A plectrum or individual finger picks may also be used to strike the strings.
It is usually held flat against the player's body and played by strumming or plucking the strings with the dominant hand, while simultaneously pressing selected strings against frets with the fingers of the opposite hand. Having said this, there are a lot worse guitars out there, and as well as being historically important, the 1820 bass can certainly provide the goods when required.The guitar is a fretted musical instrument that typically has six strings.
Over the course of the 70s, the Japanese output improved dramatically, and in many ways these early 70s models are a low point for the brand. These new Epiphones were based on existing Matsumoku guitars, sharing body shapes, and hardware, but the Epiphone line was somewhat upgraded, with inlaid logos and a 2x2 peghead configuration.
The Matsumoku factory had been producing guitars for export for some time, but the 1820 bass (alongside a number of guitar models and the 5120 electric acoustic bass) were the first Epiphone models to be made there. By the end of the 1960s, a decision had been made to move Epiphone guitar production from the USA (at the Kalamazoo plant where Gibson guitars were made), to Matsumoto in Japan, creating a line of guitars and basses significantly less expensive than the USA-built models (actually less than half the price).
