How it's used
Refers specifically to the hollow-bodied instrument that relies on natural resonance rather than electronic amplification. While the term is widely understood, younger generations often simply use the loanword 結他 or specify 電結他 for electric versions. It is common to hear musicians refer to the instrument simply as 結他 when the context of it being acoustic is already clear.
