5 Reasons You Probably Need Another Acoustic Guitar | Trey Hensley

Grammy-winning guitarist Trey Hensley has assembled a convincing—and entertaining—case for expanding your acoustic collection. In this exclusive Guitar Center video, Hensley explains why every acoustic guitar has its own personality, why different body styles can unlock new sounds and even how one new guitar inspired a song on his latest album.

Every Acoustic Guitar Has Its Own Voice

"You can play ten acoustic guitars in a row and most of them are going to sound different,” says Hensley. “That's a good thing, so you probably need another guitar for that reason alone."

Different Body Sizes Inspire Different Sounds

"There are dreadnoughts, there's OM size, there's concert shape and they all sound different,” explains Hensley. “And they all look cool."

Find a Guitar Everyone Enjoys Hearing

"You want to have a guitar that's going to be pleasing to everyone's ears," counsels Hensley. “After all, your friends, family and neighbors are probably going to hear you practicing.”

New Guitars Create New Ideas

"Every guitar feels differently,” says Hensley, “and that’s going to change the way you play. It's also going to change the way you think."

Play My Signature Taylor

Hensley’s fifth reason for buying another acoustic guitar bears his trademark humor.

"I have a guitar that's got my name on it," he says. “You should have this guitar, too.”

You can do just that by picking up Trey's the Taylor Gold Label 510e Special Edition acoustic-electric guitar.
