  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Christie's to Offer Les Paul's Personal “Number One” ~ the Guitar That
    PRESS RELEASE | NEW YORK I FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : 18 A U G U S T 2021 CHRISTIE’S TO OFFER LES PAUL’S PERSONAL “NUMBER ONE” ~ THE GUITAR THAT STARTED IT ALL THE FIRST GIBSON LES PAUL GUITAR OWNED & APPROVED BY THE FATHER OF THE SOLID-BODY ELECTRIC GUITAR ~ OFFERED AT CHRISTIE’S ‘EXCEPTIONAL SALE’ ON OCTOBER 13 IN NEW YORK Gibson Incorporated, Kalamazoo, Michigan, Circa 1951-52 The solid-Body Electric Guitar, Known as Les Paul’s “Number One” Les Paul Model Artist's Prototype Estimate: $100,000-150,000 Les Paul “is part of a homespun tradition of scientific wizards that includes Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison.” ~The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame New York— Christie’s announces Les Paul’s own personal ‘Number One,’ the very earliest approved production model of the famed Gibson Les Paul electric guitar which monumentally changed the development of Rock’n’Roll in the 20th Century will be featured in The Exceptional Sale on October 13 in New York. Along with Mr. Paul, Gibson Incorporated developed this innovative solid body electric guitar circa 1951-1952 to meet the demanding standards of guitar virtuoso and inventor, Les Paul, who designated this his Number One; the first solid electrified guitar that met with his approval, and was the culmination of his lifelong dream. 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.

  • Electric Guitars and Basses
    About Electric Guitars and Basses Since the development of the Spanish six-string guitar in the early 1800s, guitar makers and players had searched for a way to make the guitar's sound louder. (See Acoustic Guitars for more info.) Big changes came at the beginning of the 20th century when a number of guitar players and designers experimented with electrical amplification. Major changes in guitar design began with the invention of the electromagnetic transducer commonly known as a "pickup." A pickup is a device placed underneath the strings of a guitar converting string vibrations into electrical energy. This energy is converted back into sound by an amplifier. The amplifier has knobs or switches that allow the player to increase or decrease the sound level of the guitar. (See section on Amplifiers for more info.) As early as the 1930s guitar players began installing pickups in their acoustic instruments. Although this helped make the sound louder, it created a whole new set of problems - especially "feedback" when the guitar was played at high volume. Several inventors developed a solution to this problem by experimenting with a solid body for the instrument by attaching a neck with strings to a solid block of wood. This solid wood body - not as resonant as a hollow body - created less feedback when amplified. By the 1950s solid body electric guitars were mass-produced to keep up with the increasing demand for these new instruments. First seen as just a novelty, electric guitars have become one of the most popular and influential instruments in modern music - used to play blues, jazz, rock & roll, country, and rhythm & blues styles.

  • Telecaster Buying Guide
    Telecaster Buying Guide Posted on Sunday, 01 December 2013 16:19. From: Musiciansfriend’s hub The Electric Guitar that Transformed American Music Table of Contents A Brief History of the Telecaster Tele Players: a Who’s Who of Guitar Wizardry Basic Telecaster Features Squier Telecasters Fender Telecasters USA Made Telecaster Guitars Fender Custom Shop So, Which Telecaster is Right for You? A Brief History of the Telecaster In 1951 the Telecaster was introduced to the world by Leo Fender, a Southern California inventor and businessman. Now a legendary instrument available in dozens of variations, the iconic “Tele” became the world’s first successfully mass-produced solid body electric guitar. Fender's Esquire guitar was the first prototype for the Telecaster and was produced in limited numbers. It was introduced in 1950 and renamed the Broadcaster shortly after. To avoid confusion and trademark issues with Gretsch Broadkaster drums, the guitar was renamed as the Telecaster. The Esquire was brought back as a single-pickup version of the Telecaster in 1951. The Telecaster’s simple, straightforward design along with its versatility and playability have led to its longevity. It features a single cutaway body and two single-coil pickups that produce the Tele’s bright and twangy trademark tone. The headstock has six single-side tuners, and the original design featured three innovative barrel-shaped saddles that allowed guitarists to adjust the string height for better playability. Fender incorporated production techniques no other guitar builder had used previously. Bodies were built using solid pieces of wood, referred to as blanks, and cavities for the electronics were made using a router.

The rarity and celebrity association of the model has pushed the values of original examples into the stratosphere. Gibson Custom’s 1959 Les Paul Standard is a painstakingly-accurate replica of these highly-valuable guitars rendered in detail so intricate that even the chemical composition of the parts has been scientifically examined and e-engineeredr – and that’s just one small example. Sonically, visually, and tactilely, owning a 2018 Gibson Custom Historic ’59 Les Paul Standard is as close as one can get to owning a priceless original.

  • Pickups and Wood in Solid Body Electric Guitar – Part 1
    Pickups and Wood in Solid Body Electric Guitar – Part 1 by Butch Iafelice - Calaveras Fretworks Custom Guitars - May 2011 Introduction: Well here you go – this is the first in a series of papers where I will try to give the reader a comprehensive overview of how different pickups and wood interact and produce the sounds in solid body electric guitars. Trying to understand these effects and interactions was actually the motivation for why I started building guitars in the first place and the beginning of Calaveras Fretworks Custom Guitars. A few years back I put a Maple Tele neck on the first CFCG mahogany body and was floored by the new sounds I heard – especially from pickups like the Fender Texas Specials and Gibson 57 Classics that I was already familiar with but had only played in instruments using different body and neck woods. Why did these pickups play so much better? So much more sustain along with a fuller or “fatter” tone. You all know what sustain is – there is so much more hang time to the note or chord that the guitar seems to play itself. A fatter sound to me means that there’s more meat or gain in portions of the audible spectra – more on this later. First let me establish a few definitions on how the data will be presented here – some of which will be my own loose interpretations without taking too much away from the technical accuracy of my statements or conclusions. The audible frequency range is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (or 20 kHz).
