The radiation patterns of 32 guitars are investigated. Therefore the top and back plates are measured using a 121-microphone array, back-propagating the recorded sound field onto the guitar top and back plates. Both, the eigenvalues and the forced oscillation patterns are measured, the latter by plucking the guitar strings for all possible notes. For each note the forced-oscillation radiation pattern is calculated for 20 partials up to 4 kHz. These radiation patterns are then forward-propagated into the surrounding space around the guitar. Considerable differences appear between the different guitars within the same frequency region in terms of shape and intensity.
