Acoustic & Electric Guitar Report: Innovations that can Amplify Market Growth

Acoustic & Electric Guitar Report discusses challenges, innovations, new technical approaches & market dynamics in the guitar industry. This involves solving challenges related to noise reduction, electric strings, guitar body, pickup system and durability. The report will also take us through the startups, companies, global trends, collaborations & acquisitions in the area.


The guitar is a splendid musical instrument and is in use since times immemorial. Guitar has brought a revolution in the music industry. With change in the taste of music globally, a lot of modifications in the guitar design are taking place. The traditional guitar has typically six strings and fretting with the fingers produce music.

Electric guitars came into existence in the 1930s and the music industry changed forever. The electric guitar uses an amplifier and a loudspeaker to boost up the sound produced. The electric signal that is produced can be manipulated given that it produces an electric signal when played. Innovations are made in the amplifying system, to reshape the tone. The use of an equalizer and a wide variety of electronic effect units are coming up with emerging technologies.

The most commonly used ones being distortion and reverb to give sound effects. The increasing popularity of musical events and festivals, and the growing participation of people are among some key factors that are driving the growth of the global guitar market.

Report on Challenges in Guitar Technology

Innovations in Electric Strings

We analyzed the most faced challenges associated with noise reduction for electric stringed instruments. The permanent magnet is built into the pickup, and when the strings vibrate, the magnetic flux passing through the coil inside the pickup changes. Thus the alternating current that is almost similar to the vibration of the strings is generated. Electromagnetic wave noise (noise) in space gets superimposed on AC signals, and noise reduction becomes an issue for electric stringed instruments.

Innovations In Noise Reduction

Signicent studied a patent by Teijin Limited that resolves the issue associated with noise reduction. Presently, the electric string instrument is provided on the body, a pickup unit that detects vibration of a metal string attached to the body. It then converts it into an electric signal.

An output electrode, a jack portion having a ground electrode and a pickup accommodating portion, and a pickup is electrically connected to the ground electrode. It is characterized by having a conductive fiber-containing resin layer arranged to cover at least a part of the inner surface of the accommodating portion.

Challenges With Guitar Body

Electric basses, electric guitars of conventional design consist of a body, preferably made of wood, to which a neck, likewise preferably made of wood, is screwed or glued. In case the body is made of one piece, the acoustic properties of the electric guitar can only be adapted structurally to a limited extent.

Electric Guitar With New Technical Approaches

Signicent studied a patent by BACHMAIER PETER that reveals information on the innovative body design of guitars. The central assembly part, upper and lower body part offers greater variability in the choice of materials. The central assembly part is preferably made of aluminum or CFRP and thus leads to different acoustic properties than when using conventional woods. The central mounting part of an Electric guitar consists of sufficiently stable material, preferably aluminum, and has a thickness of at least 5 mm and a maximum of 20 mm, preferably 12 mm.

Innovations In Body Design Of Guitar

Acoustic Resonance Enhancement is an original wood-reforming technology developed by Yamaha. A modified non-scalloped bracing design retains the L Series’ characteristic bright tone while enhancing its low-end tone. A re-evaluation of string spacing, string height, fingerboard binding, and the neck taper led to a distinct neck shape that better suits today’s traditional players, offering stable grip and smooth playability over the full length of the neck.

Emerging Technologies In Pickup System

The SRT Zero Impact pickup system is a passive pickup configuration designed to minimize the pickup’s impact on the tone and traditional appearance of the instrument. The system utilizes individual, Piezo-electric elements for each string to faithfully reproduce the dynamic sound of the L Series and give the instrument an outstanding presence when playing in a band.


Each year Signicent provides consultancy to hundreds of organizations to help transform their innovations to value.


The guitar report will shed light on the advancing and innovative technologies that are shaping up the guitar industry.

Advancing Technologies In Noise Reduction

Donner noise killer guitar effect pedal supports unwanted noise cancellation from the music. The Threshold knob allows you to adjust the levels between -70 to +10 DB. The product can be used in either Soft or Hard mode, and this is ideal for those that play different styles of music.

Innovations In Maintaining Durability

D’Addario XT strings combine durability and tone by giving life-extending treatments to the guitar body case. The extra-durable NY Steel core wire and Fusion twists into one string is one such life-enhancing method. It helps in ending the tradeoff between corrosion-resistant coatings and natural tone and playability. High carbon steel cores and popular alloys with an extended-life treatment on every string delivering enhanced break resistance, pitch stability, and long-lasting performance.

Report on Innovative Guitar Products

Fender’s American Ultra Series has launched new body contours with ultra noiseless pickups. The new eye-catching colors, and advanced electronics.

American Ultra instruments carry two types of innovative new noiseless pickups: Ultra Noiseless Vintage pickups deliver authentic Fender single-coil sound –you can launch your without hum. Ultra Noiseless Hot pickups offer modern performance and classic tone so amp into overdrive.
