Abstract
The sound radiation from a guitar contains about 50 fundamental semitones and about 200 harmonics. The resonant modes of the guitar body are insufficient in number and of insufficient bandwidth to support all of these frequencies, so some frequencies are coincident with resonances and some are not. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss the role of resonances as they occur in the guitar top, sides, and back in affecting the radiation. Conjectures about the role of the nonresonant radiation in the attack of the sounds and the hearing mechanism on the perception of the sound are presented in a tentative manner.
