caption_attribution_description: Epiphone PR-5E VS Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar (Vintage Sunburst) New acoustic purchased on Wednesday from my friend Ed the sound guy at Musicians Pro Shop in the Valley. It was a toss up between this one and another Epiphone that Ed recommended. After a few hours sound-testing, I finally went with this one. Ed gave me a good deal too.
context_page_description: The steel-string acoustic guitar is a modern form of guitar that descends from the nylon-strung classical guitar, but is strung with steel strings for a brighter, louder sound. Like the classical guitar, it is often referred to simply as an acoustic guitar.
  The most common type is often called a flat top guitar, to distinguish it from the more specialized archtop guitar and other variations.
  The standard tuning for an acoustic guitar is E-A-D-G-B-E, although many players, particularly fingerpickers, use alternate tunings, such as open G, open D, drop D, or D-A-D-G-A-D.

  The most common type is often called a flat top guitar, to distinguish it from the more specialized archtop guitar and other variations.
  The standard tuning for an acoustic guitar is E-A-D-G-B-E (low to high), although many players, particularly fingerpickers, use alternate tunings (scordatura), such as open G (D-G-D-G-B-D), open D (D-A-D-F♯-A-D), drop D (D-A-D-G-B-E), or D-A-D-G-A-D (particularly in Irish traditional music).
