Acquired by Peavey in 2010, Composite Acoustics revolutionized the acoustic guitar market with the introduction of instruments totally built from composite materials featuring stunningly gorgeous weave soundboards. Play any of the guitars in Composite Acoustics line and youll be impressed not only with their volume, but also the incredible tonal clarity and chiming sustain. Carbon fiber allows Composite Acoustics to create a guitar that is more consistent than any other acoustic guitar on the planetno matter the climate conditions. The nature of carbon fiber produces an instrument that stays in tune longer and never needs adjustment. By varying the carbon fiber material density in different areas of the body, Composite Acoustics instruments are able to achieve an amazing, finely tuned tone that is consistent from instrument to instrument. Carbon fiber construction and heelless neck joints also allow for instrument shapes not possible with wood. Incredibly strong, these guitars are as much fun to play in a studio or on stage as they are on a mountaintop or by the pool.

It’s the Schoenhut Piano Company , but the venerable ("since 1872") toy piano manufacturer used its grand Toy Fair 2012 display space to promote a new series of acoustic guitars--along with its traditional keyboard-based toy and children's music instrument product.
"Every kid gets a guitar at some point in his life," says Schoenhut's Leonard Trinca, who co-owns the company with his wife Renee.
"Generally, it looks like a guitar--but it's not really a guitar," he continues. "The finish is shoddy, the frets aren't in the right place, etc. We wanted to get into guitars--but make a real student guitar."
So Trinca went to the annual NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) music product trade show in Anaheim, Calif., and studied the guitars.
"A guy showed me a $5,000 guitar and explained that the back was composite shaped with a dual curve, and had a glued-on soundboard made of wood," says Trinca. "It was a great-sounding guitar, and really beautiful. So I went home and put my thinking cap on: I made a mold, glued on a basic soundboard, added a hardwood neck with a molded fretboard and proper spacing between frets. Everything was great, and several guitar teachers said it was a heck of a neat little guitar."
