My Favorite Acoustic Guitar

When I was in Junior High School, my mother bought me an acoustic guitar.
It was my first guitar. I learned some basic guitar chord with it. It
accompanied me since I was a beginner who know nothing about guitar, until
I managed to improve my skill to a better level. Even though I have another
guitar right now, but this one is still my favorite. The sound produced by it is
still as clear as it was. Its classic and simple design is just irreplaceable.

My favorite acoustic guitar is mainly made of mahogany wood. It is a steel-
string type of acoustic guitar. Three different colour were used to cover the
major parts of the guitar. The colour of the front side is peach with wooden
fiber pattern which intentionally designed to be clearly visible with our eye.
The colour of the back side is black, and the colour of the edges is dark
brown. The neck of the guitar was painted in black, but the headstock is dark
brown. The tuning pegs or tuning keys are made of white plastic and are
attached to the headstock, three on the top side and three on the bottom side.
There is a part called "nut" placed between the neck and the headstock. It is
made of white plastic too. The fret of the guitar is mainly made of copper.
There is only one sound hole on my guitar and it is located at the end part of
the neck. The bridge, where the end part of the strings were attached, is made
of wood and is painted in black.
