【答案解析】[听力原文]17-20
The guitar's different body styles and shapes help mold the perfect sound for the style you play. From sweet and warm, to loud and thrashing, the guitar is one of the most versatile instruments and can be used for any style of music. Most styles of music have a specific guitar that embodies each genre's sound.
One way a guitar sounds different than other models is the way it is built. Depending on what kind of wood is used the sound can completely change. Some examples of woods used for guitars are ash, pine, sandalwood, rosewood, and maple. The more dense the wood is, the longer the sustain it has. Also, the lighter the wood, the brighter tone it has.
The body shape of a guitar is as important to the sound as is the way it is made. If there are slight imperfections in the fretboard or the body, it can cause problems with intonation. There are many different body styles that all accommodate a different style of music. A hollow body or acoustic guitar has the perfect sound for classical or folk music. A semi-hollow body guitar is also used for blues or rockabilly. All other electric guitars sounds can be changed to fit the style of music you wish to play. Most solid body guitars have the same base tone.
