How to choose a novice guitar? What is a veneer guitar
The veneer guitar is a kind of guitar, which is made of a whole piece of wood, while the plywood is a three-layer or multi-layer board that is cut into thin veneer with wood segments or sliced into veneer from wooden squares, and then glued with adhesive. The material is usually made of odd-numbered layers of veneers, and the fiber directions of adjacent layers of veneers are glued perpendicular to each other.

The material is usually made of odd-numbered layers of veneers, and the fiber directions of adjacent layers of veneers are glued perpendicular to each other. The pianos made of plywood are relatively low-end, and those of several hundred dollars are generally made of plywood, and the price of single-board pianos is relatively high.
Single-board guitars are divided into face single, face side single and full single. No matter the veneer or the plywood, the front panel, side panel and back panel are made of two pieces or more than two pieces, which is to make the guitar have better stability and easy maintenance.
" Liangpin " means that the same piece of wood is cut horizontally, just like opening a book, and then two boards are put together after opening. Due to the problem of Chinese translation, many people mistakenly think that the "veneer" is made of a piece of wood.
How to identify a veneer guitar ?
The simple identification method is that the wood grain of the veneer is irregular and caused by natural growth, while the plywood is artificially compressed, which means that the wood grain rules of the artificial wood are very regular. However, if the paint is sprayed deeply, this method is not easy to identify.
The wood of the panel determines the grade of the guitar, so whether the panel is veneer or plywood, there is a big difference in price.
The purpose of plywood is to reduce the consumption of high-quality wood, and it will be thinly sliced and then added with cheap miscellaneous wood in the middle, so the cost is reduced.
The veneer panel is not blocked by miscellaneous wood and adhesives in terms of tone transmission or resonance.
It has unparalleled advantages over plywood.
In addition, the cross section of the piano box can also be observed through the sound hole.
What are the advantages of a veneer guitar ?
The sound quality of the guitar is affected by the quality of the resonance box. A good resonance box can make the sound of the guitar loud and pure, and the reverberation curls. The single-board guitar resonance box is made of natural wood. Compared with the artificial plywood, the internal structure is natural and compact, which can better conform to the sounding principle of the musical instrument and achieve better resonance effect.
What are the disadvantages of a single-board guitar ?
Because wood has annual rings, the texture and composition of each part of the whole board are different, so when the wood is wet or dry, the coefficient of expansion and contraction of each part is different, and it is more susceptible to weather changes than plywood guitars.
Therefore, we can take some methods to keep the veneer guitar in good condition. Using nursing oil can effectively keep the guitar in good condition, which will make the tone and life of the guitar in a better state.
Which veneer guitars are recommended ?
The veneer guitar is a good choice for an advanced guitar player. Choosing an excellent veneer guitar will quickly improve the level of the guitarist, and it will give you certain instructions for fingerpicking and learning.
