- The guitar is a
musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of
musical styles. It typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight,
ten, and twelve string guitars also exist.
- Guitars can be
divided into two broad categories, acoustic and electric
- The very first
instrument recognized as a guitar is said to have been invented by the
people of Malaga.
- When choosing a wood for the
back and sides, it is important to consider a couple of factors.
The harder the wood, the brighter the sound, and adversely softer woods
provide a mellower, softer sound Brazilian rosewood is a very
popular choice for the backs and the sides of a
guitar.
- Guitars can be
constructed to meet the demands of both left and right-handed players.
- The major components
of the electric guitar include the bridge, the body and the neck.
Secondary components include the fingerboard, strings, nut and tuning
heads. A guitar manufacturing facility is, to a large extent, a
woodworking facility, as wood selection and body design are large parts
of the electric guitar construction process.
- Raw materials that
go into the construction of the electric guitar include well-seasoned
hardwoods such as maple, walnut, ash, alder, and mahogany for the solid
body.
- Wood is also used in
the construction of the neck, including maple, rosewood, and ebony.
Other raw materials include glue to hold the pieces together, chrome for
the hardware, and a nitrocellulose lacquer for finishing the
body.
- New-generation
compact pedal employs COSM modeling technology to transform any electric
guitar into a variety of beautiful acoustic guitars.
- The technology that
enables the Gibson digital guitar is an Ethernet media delivery system
called MaGIC. MaGIC stands for Media-accelerated Global Information
Carrier and is designed to replace all wiring systems in the musical
instrument field and in consumer electronic applications.
- A few things to keep
in mind before buying a guitar:
- Have patience- do
not decide you HAVE to buy the guitar that day. Plan on taking at
least two trips to the music store.
- Maintain control-
You are in charge! Don't let music store salesmen intimidate you.
- Research- The web
is a great place to find info on guitars. Use it to your advantage!
- Get help- if at
all possible, recruit a friend who plays guitar to help you choose an
instrument.
