Imported items are generally regarded as quality, and they can also usually offer some different features than non-imported guitars, as they come from a different country of origin. Guitars are obviously not an exception to this fact. Imported acoustic guitars are of high quality, available in different varieties, and they offer you great value for your money. There are several places where you can easily purchase imported acoustic guitars. These guitars are usually of different models from various well-known manufacturers.
Imported acoustic guitars can also be purchased through auctions. Different models and price ranges of your favorite guitars can also be found online. In general, these imported acoustic guitars are in great demand and the bidding rates increase by the day. It is still possible to find some bargains on these auctions, though - it really is a matter of looking for the right guitar at the right price. Perseverance pays when it comes to looking for anything on auction sites.
Imported acoustic guitars are available from various top brands like Fender, Rogue Starter, Yamaha GigMaker, Ibanez, Dreadnought, Ovation, Ariana, Washburn, and Epiphone. There are various musical stores available which provide you different models of imported acoustic guitars. Millennia Guitars are one of the very famous guitar importers, which provide you high quality acoustic guitars from several countries.
Imported acoustic guitars are increasing in their popularity, since some people prefer different or unique guitar selections. Many people prefer these guitars for their unique style, usage of quality wood, clear and natural sound, and most importantly the wide range available.

Typically, imported acoustic guitars provide enhanced playability and a clear tone. Hand-carved bracing in pre-war patterns, peghead overlays, use of high quality wood, ornate pearl inlays using intricate abalone pearl, abalone inlays, delicate wood marquetry, natural high gloss finishes, nickel platted hardware, herringbone purfling, spruce tops, mahogany necks, and white binding on neck are few of the common features that one can often find when looking for imported acoustic guitars.

Guitar Lesson: Five Ways To Learn The Notes On The Guitar
To find your way around the fretboard of the guitar is very important. It will help you in guitar improvisation, sight reading, and in understanding chords and more. In this guitar lesson we will explore five ways to learn the notes on the guitar fretboard.
How much do you need to practice?
A couple of minutes a day with one of these exercises will help you improve your skills in finding the notes. In this guitar lesson we will focus on the fretboard and not the actual guitar sheet music.
Learning to read guitar sheet music will be much easier when you master the notes on the guitar keyboard. I have divided this article in five lessons that you can alternate between until you master the guitar fretboard.
Guitar lesson 1
Learn the basic notes, the notes of a C major scale (the white keys on the piano) on every string. Let's test this on the first string on your guitar. The first note is an E. You will find F on the first fret. G on fret three. A on fret five. B on fret seven. C on fret eight, D on fret ten and the next E on fret twelve.
The sixth string on the guitar is an E too. It's just two octaves lower but you will find the same note names on this string on the same frets two octaves lower.
On the second string you will find the notes on the following frets:
fret 0-B, 1-C, 3-D, 5-E, 6-F, 8-G, 10-A, 12-B
On the third guitar string you'll find the following notes:
0-G, 2-A, 4-B, 5-C, 7-D, 9-E,10-F, 12-G
I guess you can figure out the names of the notes on the next strings by yourself but here they are in case you will double check. The fourth string:
0-D, 2-E, 3-F, 5-G, 7-A, 9-B, 10-C, 12-D
The notes on the fifth string or the A-string:
0-A, 2-B, 3-C, 5-D, 7-E, 8-F, 10-G, 12-A
I would suggest that you concentrate on one string at a time and learn the names as you play the notes on your guitar maybe by saying the note names aloud as you play.
Guitar lesson 2
Learn a specific note on all strings. This is a great way to learn the notes and quite amusing too. Let's use the note G. You'll find it on the third fret on string six. Where can you find the note G on string five? Right, on fret 10.
The G notes on the strings from the sixth string to the first are on the following frets:
3 10 5 0 8 3
You can make an exercise of this by playing the G notes from string six down to the first string and back again. Try this with other notes too. For example E.
If you devote a couple of minutes a day on this exercise you will soon be able to play the sequence of strings fast, spotting the notes without effort.
Guitar lesson 3
Learn the names of the notes on a fret. We can start with the open strings starting from the sixth string to the first. The names will be:
E A D G B E
Now, play the notes on the third fret in the same order. At the same time try to say the names of the notes aloud. I will help you this time only by writing the note names down:
G C F Bb D G
Try this exercise on different frets and say the names of the notes aloud.
Guitar lesson 4
Learn the notes in a chord. Play any chord and name the notes aloud from string six to string one. This guitar exercise will also help you to understand how the chords are built.
Guitar lesson 5
In this guitar lesson you will use your ability to create random notes on the guitar. As you play notes on your guitar at random you also say the note names aloud.
Play in an even pace, just fast enough to make this exercise a challenge for your mind so your mind will concentrate on the task and not wander off.
All of these small guitar lessons can be used together with a companion. One playing the notes on the guitar and the other saying the note names.
As I mentioned before I think it's best not to overdo these exercises. Choose one of the guitar lessons and work a couple of minutes a day on mastering the exercise.

!±8± Epiphone LP Special II Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, White
Our number one selling model is more than just about the price. The Epiphone Special II is a great way for beginners to get started on guitar with real, Les Paul tone, but seasoned pros love the Special II because it's a great-sounding, workhorse guitar that lets them leave their more expensive axes at home.

Like all of our electric guitars, it comes standard-equipped with 500K Ohms potentiometers, our own heavy-duty 3-way pickup selector toggle switch and non-rotating heavy duty output jack.
