  • Superstrat Elektromos Gitárok
    Visszalépés a Muszty-Dobay Főoldalra SUPERSTRAT ELEKTROMOS GITÁROK Találkozhatunk még a Superstrato vagy a Sooperstrat elnevezésekkel, illetve ugyanezeket ír(hat)ják egybe vagy külön, esetleg kötőjellel is, ám a leggyakoribb mindenhol, minden nyelven a Superstrat megnevezés. De van, ahol nemes egyszerűséggel „modern Strato (alakú vagy formájú)” elektromos gitárnak nevezik. Nincs hivatalos és pontos meghatározása a Superstrat-nak, ez egy szubjektív elektromosgitár-design, amely hasonlít a Fender Stratocaster-re. Tény, hogy sokan sok helyen vitatkoznak azon, vajon egy-egy gitármárka bizonyos modellje Superstrat-e, vagy sem, ám ettől függetlenül a nagyobb internetes gitáráruházakban már külön kategóriaként kezelik a Superstrat elektromos gitárokat, és külön oldalt kapnak. Ezt a gitártípust a heavy metal zenének az 1980-as évek elején megnőtt népszerűsége hívta életre. A gitárosok elkezdtek keresni egy olyan elektromos gitárt, amelyik jobban megfelelt az új zenei stílusnak úgy a kinézetében, mint játszhatóságában. „Kövérebb” zenei hangot kerestek, illetve egy olyan elektromos gitárt, amely igazán alkalmas az ún. „high-gain” torzított erősítésre. Voltak ugyan gitárosok, akik már használták effélére a Fender Stratocaster-eket is, mint például Ritchie Blackmore vagy Dave Murray, ám az általuk eszközölt módosítások viszonylag csekélyek voltak annak érdekében, hogy a hangszerük minél inkább illeszkedjen a saját egyéni játékstílusukhoz. Természetesen ma Mr. Blackmore-nak és Mr. Murray-nek is van ún. „Signature” gitárja a Fender Stratocaster-ek között. Valószínűleg az első és egyben legismertebb Superstrat gitár Eddie Van Halen legendás Frankenstrat-ja, vagyis egy Frankenstein Stratocaster a ’70-es évek közepéből: A Frankenstrat-nak nem csupán története, hanem történelme, sőt, mára legendája van, fogalom lett, és még Eddie Van Halen honlapján is saját részt kapott.

  • 5-Sept-15 Dear Chris. I Am So Glad I Bought Your Pickups. My Experience with Kinman Humbuckers in My Gibsons Is Simply Amazing
    5-Sept-15 Dear Chris. I am so glad I bought your pickups. My experience with Kinman humbuckers in my Gibsons is simply amazing. I love the sound and the total absence of noise the Extra Vintage Suite produces. When I play in live performances or during recording sessions I always feel comfortable since I am certain of their performance. These Pick ups are without question the best ever. I am really proud to endorse your products. Dario Chiazzolino (international jazz guitarist – composer. Awarded "Best Guitar Player" Umbria Jazz Festival. Nominated Best Guitarist in Italian jazz magazine Guitar List. Nomination for Artist of the year in D-Mag) 31-Aug-13 Installed the Kinman Extra Vintage suite into my Les Paul Standard. The sound is so clear and string balance is just perfect. Even on split coil, they sound great (very little hum). Previously once the AC30 started to clip, the sound lost definition. Now I can get the growl without losing notes. Thanks Chris. These are just brilliant. Regards, Phil Sharp (Australia) 5-July-2013 I have the Impersonator 54 and PAF Astound HSS setup fitted in my favourite Parker Nitefly. Wow!! The sound really nails what I was looking for - some authentic bell-like strat tones from the singles along with some player-sensitive creamy bite from the humbucker. The volume balance is just awesome. The guitar sounds like it really should now - incredibly versatile and all round fantastic. If anybody else should seek advice on doing a Parker Nitefly, you can confidently recommend the setup I've just installed.

  • The Seymour Duncan Thirty-Five
    The Seymour Duncan Thirty-Five History & Care Instructions Welcome & Congratulations T h e S e y m o u r Duncan Story The sound of an electric guitar or bass starts with the pickups—but in Seymour W. Duncan’s hands, the pickups themselves become masterfully crafted instruments. Starting as a young teen, Seymour often worked ten-hour days as a professional—if underage—guitarist. During that time he kept detailed notebooks about guitar sounds he heard, and tinkered with the instruments of friends, who included young Robbie Robertson and Adrian Belew. In the early ’70s, Seymour relocated to London, playing sessions by night and work- ing days at the Fender Sound House, the repair shop that served as his postgraduate laboratory. There, he serviced guitars and wound pickups for Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, the Who, Robert Palmer, Mick Ronson, Jeff Beck, and other leading lights of British rock. Some came for pickup repairs, others to seek help creating a distinctive guitar voice via one of Seymour’s custom pickup creations. Seymour kept exhaustive notes and took meticulous measurements on every guitar that came in. In 1975, Chris Rainbow brought Seymour to LA as guitarist for his recording session there. Seymour connected with the vibrant music scene in Topanga Canyon, where Jamie Shane of Canned Heat fame introduced him to Cathy Carter. Just like in London, musicians at the time were on a quest to capture the best tone of the old “pre-CBS” Fenders and Gibsons, yet colored with more output and new sounds. The large “corporate” guitar brands at the time had lost their heart and changed most everything about their guitars for the benefit of the “bottom-line”.
