How to use acoustic in a sentence?

1. The Prince:

   The special, stripped-down demo recording captures a 20-year-old Prince in a raw, intimate moment, and begins with the sound of the artist pressing the record button on a cassette tape recorder and picking up the acoustic guitar.

2. Kevin Bacon:

   When we were making the movie, we didn't have the song yet, in the middle of shooting, Kenny Loggins was still writing the song. It was just Kenny on an acoustic guitar, that was the demo... I heard the song and was like,' Yeah, That's cool.' It just hits you. I did what I could, but I don't think the movie would have been what it was without it.

3. Blake Sheltonsurprised:

   I’m doing my normal, you know, what I think is rockin’. Standing up there with my acoustic guitar in front of my stand and singing my songs, i had my band work up one of her songs, ‘Hella Good.’ And I thought ‘Man, that’d be so cool to have her come out and surprise.’ It’s the worst thing I could have done because all it did was make me look terrible.

4. Michael Pfadenhauer:

5. Carey Balaban:

   The energy may be acoustic, pressure waves, you've probably heard of LRAD devices (or long-range acoustic devices) -- devices they've discussed in the press -- so ultrasound is one mode that could be used for this. We also could have radiofrequency. We could have microwave. We could have light -- lasers are an example of it. I'm going through these just as examples, i want to make it eminently clear that we don't know what they were exposed to and certainly can't make any inferences as to whether it was deliberate or inadvertent.
