The Acoustic Guitar
Acoustic Guitars are hollow-bodied guitars that are unamplified by design, though electronics are often added to send the acoustic signal to an amplifier. They are manufactured out of wood and are arguably one of the most popular musical instruments in the world.
However, acoustic guitars should not be confused with their acoustic cousin, the classical guitar. The steel-string acoustic guitar is a modern form of guitar descended from the classical guitar, however it is strung with steel strings, not nylon, and therefore gives a brighter, louder sound. The acoustic generally has a larger soundbox than a standard classical guitar.
The 12-String
Acoustic guitars generally have six strings. However, another variation on the standard acoustic guitar is the 12-string guitar, which sports an additional, doubling string for each of the traditional six strings. These extra six strings definitely give the twelve-string acoustic a distinctive sound.
Vintage Acoustics
Many of the early versions (up to the 1970's/80's) are considered "vintage guitars" and are actively sought out by collectors around the world. Most steel-string vintage acoustic guitar tops are constructed of a type of spruce (Adirondack, Appalachian, Sitka) although not all vintage acoustic guitars are made of wood.
Vintage acoustic guitars that have been repaired and worked on hold less value than those preserved in their original condition. A vintage acoustic guitar that looks weathered but has its original finish will always be worth more than a guitar that looks great but has been refinished. If you find vintage Martin guitars for a great deal, you definitely want to take advantage of such a find. Or, if you are a true collector, you will just love the idea of having such a great instrument all to your self as a part of your vintage guitar collection.
The Music
Until the 1960s, the predominant forms of music played on the flat-top steel-string guitar remained relatively stable and included acoustic blues, country, bluegrass, folk, and several genres of rock.
And, although acoustic guitars are often associated with folk music and "mellow" music in general, they are in truth in all styles of music. They are, indeed, wonderful instruments that have played a very significant part in the music revolution.
Acoustic guitars are good options for a clean sound which is generally required in slow or country songs. Thus, like a fine wine, acoustic guitars get better with age because the quality of the wood used also improves and gives a better, lingering sound.

How much is an acoustic guitar?
I want to learn how to play a guitar, but i don't want to buy a really expensive one or really cheap one. Where can I buy an acoustic guitar for beginners and how much would it cost?
And is it hard to play? I already play the violin and piano.
How long do you think it would take to be ok at it? Do you think being self-taught would be ok?
$199 for a decent starter steel-string acoustic
You need to learn and practice the chords and hand positions.
It takes practice to get used to it. You get calluses on your fingers. But that's part of it.
You'll be fine being self-taught. But you have to practice correct habits before they become bad. There are a lot of YouTube videos. Practice songs you like, look up chords @ http://www.ultimate-guitar.com. Also learn how to read tabs.
It really helps to practice with songs you know because you know the tempo and how it sounds. It takes a lot of patience and practice everyday. You'll do fine.
