guitar frequencies

[Jason M Hancock]

Can someone tell me what the recordable frequencies are for acoustic and electric guitars? From what I can see an acoustic guitar should come in from 70 hz to 2,000 hz.

???

Thanks!

In standard tuning, a guitar bottoms out at 82 Hz. If you factor in the harmonic overtones, the upper limit of the frequency range is MUCH higher than 2KHz. With an acoustic you could easily find some material around 8-10KHz, and the electric is limited by the speakers, which is usually in the 6 or 7KHz range.
