  • 5.2 Humbuckers
    5.2 Humbucker 5-9 5.2 Humbuckers The interference occurring with single-coil pickups motivated the development of the Humbucker. Single-coil pickups do not only pickup the vibration of the strings and generate a corresponding electric voltage, but they are also sensitive to magnetic fields as they are radiated by transformers, fluorescent lamps, or mains cables. Instead of having one coil, the "Hum-Bucker" consists of two coils connected to form a dipole and wired such that they are out of phase. The magnetic field generated by external interference sources induces in each coil the same voltage. Because of the anti-phase connection of the two coils the voltages cancel each other out. If the field generated by the permanent magnet would also flow through both coils with the same polarity, the signals generated by the vibrating string also be cancelled – this of course must not happen. For this reason the permanent field flows through the two coils in an anti-parallel manner such that the voltages induced by the vibrating strings are out of phase. Because the coils are connected out of phase, the voltages are turned twice by 180° i.e. they are again in phase (180° +180° = 360° corresp. to 0°). With this arrangement the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved somewhat compared to single-coil pickups (chapter 5.7). As early as the 1930s designers sought to develop a marketable pickup based on compensation principles which were generally already known. Seth Lover, technician with the guitar manufacturer Gibson, achieved the commercial break-through.

  • Guitar Body Shapes May 14, 2020
    Guitar Virtual Learning Guitar Body Shapes May 14, 2020 Guitar Lesson: May 14, 2020 Objective/Learning Target: What different guitar shapes are there, and what are the differences between those shapes? Warm-Up Activity Watch the following video by YouTuber “Minor7thb5” (which is a music theory reference!). In it, he plays the same piece of music two times with two different guitars. The guitars are of similar build quality and materials, but they are different shapes. One is a parlor guitar and the other is a dreadnaught. How do they sound different to you? These differences are subtle. It might be easier to hear by using headphones. 2nd Warm-Up Activity These were the two guitars he played. The one on the left is an Eastman parlor guitar, the one on the right is a Martin dreadnought. How do they look different? How do they look the same? Guitar Shapes For the lesson today, we are going to do a brief overview of the different guitar shapes and styles you can find today. This lesson will build on the lessons from earlier in the week where we discussed the differences between classical, steel-string, and electric guitars. Now, we will see what different body shapes there are, especially for the steel-string and electric guitars, and what makes them different! A Brief history of guitar shapes The word “guitar” comes from the Greek word “kithara,” which shows up in Greek mythology from thousands of years ago. These stringed instruments didn’t look much like our guitars now, but they were strummed like our guitars.

  • The Fender Custom Shop and “Blackie” Your Questions Answered…
    The Fender Custom Shop and “Blackie” Your questions answered… A few days before the launch of the Fender Eric Clapton “Blackie” Reissue, Mike Eldred – Director of Sales and Marketing for the Fender Custom Shop, was interviewed by Guitar Center for his personal account of the “Blackie” Reissue project. GC: So Mike, what’s your role at Fender, and in the Custom Shop specifically? Mike: I’m Director of Sales and Marketing for the FMIC Custom Division, and that encompasses all brands: Tacoma, Guild, Gretsch, Fender, Charvel, Jackson, and the amplifiers. GC: What is it about “Blackie” that makes it so special, even within that special world? Mike: It’s an iconic Stratocaster. The story about the guitar is really such a great story about how Eric bought the guitar--bought several guitars--and then pieced together basically just one guitar from a bunch of different parts. So he actually built the guitar, which is very unique when it comes to iconic guitars like this. A lot of times they’re just bought at a store or something like that. But here, an artist actually built the guitar, and then used it on so many different recordings, and it was so identified with Eric Clapton and his musical legacy. GC: Then, after 35 years of ownership, he offered it up for sale. What did Fender think when they heard that Guitar Center had bought Blackie at auction for almost a million dollars? Mike: Just that we were glad that it was sold to someone we have a relationship with. The concern that we had was that somebody was going to buy it and then just lock it away and that would be that, or some private collector would buy it or something like that.

    HUMBUCKER INSTALLATION GUIDE Thanks for purchasing a Tonerider Humbucker. This guide provides wiring and installation information for all our four-conductor humbuckers. This included Alnico II Classics, Alnico IV Classics, Rocksong, and Generator models We’ve included several common guitar wiring configurations; however if you need any extra information, don't hesitate to contact us. We are musicians at heart and no question is too large or too small. All Tonerider pickups have a lifetime warranty when purchased new. Please see your warranty card for details. POLARITY AND WIRING: NORTH North/Slug Coil Start North/Slug Coil Finish South/Screw Coil Start South/Screw Coil Finish SOUTH THE QUICK GUIDE: * Install with screw coils facing outwards. * Pressing the strings against the high frets, set the pickup heights to 3mm from the strings (neck) and 2mm (bridge). * The RED wire is “hot” and connects to the input lug of the volume pot or switch. * The GREEN wire and SHIELD are “ground” and connect to the back of a grounded pot. * The BLACK & WHITE wires should be soldered together. This is done at our workshop. * Test the guitar through an amplifier and make final adjustments to the height of the pickups. FROM NECK PICKUP 3-WAY TOGGLE SWITCH FROM “HOT”/ BRIDGE PICKUP SIGNAL OUT GROUND Diagram 2 DPDT (on/on) COIL SPLITTING: This wiring option leaves one coil on, making the pickup work like a true single coil.

  • Patented Electric Guitar Pickups and the Creation of Modern Music Genres
    2016] 1007 PATENTED ELECTRIC GUITAR PICKUPS AND THE CREATION OF MODERN MUSIC GENRES Sean M. O’Connor* INTRODUCTION The electric guitar is iconic for rock and roll music. And yet, it also played a defining role in the development of many other twentieth-century musical genres. Jump bands, electric blues and country, rockabilly, pop, and, later, soul, funk, rhythm and blues (“R&B”), and fusion, all were cen- tered in many ways around the distinctive, constantly evolving sound of the electric guitar. Add in the electric bass, which operated with an amplifica- tion model similar to that of the electric guitar, and these two new instru- ments created the tonal and stylistic backbone of the vast majority of twen- tieth-century popular music.1 At the heart of why the electric guitar sounds so different from an acoustic guitar (even when amplified by a microphone) is the “pickup”: a curious bit of very early twentieth-century electromagnetic technology.2 Rather than relying on mechanical vibrations in a wire coil to create an analogous (“analog”) electrical energy wave as employed by the micro- phone, “pickups” used nonmechanical “induction” of fluctuating current in a wire coil resulting from the vibration of a metallic object in the coil’s magnetized field.3 This faint, induced electrical signal could then be sent to an amplifier that would turn it into a much more powerful signal: one that could, for example, drive a loudspeaker. For readers unfamiliar with elec- tromagnetic principles, these concepts will be explained further in Part I below. * Boeing International Professor and Chair, Center for Advanced Studies and Research on Inno- vation Policy (CASRIP), University of Washington School of Law (Seattle); Senior Scholar, Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property (CPIP), George Mason University School of Law.

Kerry Keane, Christie’s consultant and Musical Instruments Specialist, remarks, “In any creation narrative there are always multiple protagonists, but the name Les Paul ranks at the pinnacle when discussing the electric guitar. His development of multi-track recording, and audio effects like delay, echo, and reverb all profoundly influenced how music is reproduced and heard.

    Page 1 of 2 www.gretschguitars.com Acoustic and Electric Guitar and Bass Guitar Set-up Specifications All of the following specifications are for guitars/basses with the standard gauges of Gretsch strings that the guitar or bass is equipped with from the factory. Compensations may need to be made, if you plan to change string gauges. Modifications of the specifications can be made (within limited parameters) to adjust for player application (how hard the player picks or frets the guitar), or other considerations. Note: These are minimum specifications, meant to guide you, not to be taken as hard and fast rules. Always refer to your Gretsch Guitar Guide (owner's manual) for additional information and/or instruction.
