  • Poteg-7-10-2-1-Gibson-Abr-1
    7-122 7. Neck and body of the guitar 7.10.2 Bridges without Vibrato 7.10.2.1 Gibson’s ABR-1-Bridge Orville Gibson was a guitarist and a luthier – characteristics that were not originally natural to Leo Fender, who of course was a builder of guitars, too – but not in the traditional sense. As Tom Mulhern notes in his book on Gibson guitars [Rittor 1996], Orville’s ideas often originated from violin making, and it is therefore not surprising that the famous Style O guitar features an arched top that carries merely the bridge but no tailpiece. The strings are anchored in a trapeze tailpiece that is mounted to the end-side of the guitar body. This separation of bridge and tailpiece resurfaces half a century later in the ES-335, although that guitar is based on a very different principle of construction. The top of Orville’s acoustic guitars needed to be thin in order to radiate sound. While it was still possible to anchor gut strings in a combined bridge/tailpiece that was glued to the guitar top, this approach became a problem with the steel strings increasingly demanded by musicians: their higher pull (parallel to the top) could warp the top, or rip off the glued-on bridge and destroy the thin top. Conversely, with a tailpiece mounted to the side at the end of the guitar, the top was subjected merely to a perpendicular force it was able to withstand due to its curvature similar to the arch of a bridge. The bridge of the Gibson Style O is of a single piece and not adjustable – again similar to that of a violin.

    MusicYo.com - Tech Info http://web.archive.org/web/20080420084708/http://www.musicyo.com/planet/tunegearless.asp [email protected] Go Steinberger Gearless Tuner Installation 1. Loosen the 2 hex set screws that hold the knurled Electric Guitars Basses tuning knob to the tuner shaft and remove the knob. Packages Acoustic Guitars Amps/PA Remove the white Teflon washer, the hex nut and the thick spacer from the shaft. 2. Insert the tuner shaft through the 3/8" (10mm) tuner hole on your guitar from the face (front side) of your headstock. Note there is a pointed positioning pin on the lip of the tuner. This pin MUST be positioned towards the nut. Orient the pin and push down on the tuner to accurately make a small location mark on the face of the headstock next to the tuner hole. 3. Remove the tuner and drill a 1/16" pilot hole 1/8" deep. The fit will be snug, but will be pulled in tight when installation is complete. 4. Insert the tuner again from the face side of your headstock, making sure to insert the pin in the hole that you drilled. From the back of the headstock, install the spacer and then the hex nut. Tighten the hex nut to secure the tuner. CAUTION: Be careful not to over-tighten the hex nut as this will break the tuner. Typically, 1/4 turn after hand-tightening is sufficient. Install the white Teflon® washer and reposition the knurled tuning knob on the shaft. Tighten the 2 hex set screws on the knob again.

Yes, they sell every one they make for prices that would cover two or three of your mortgage payments. And, of course, they’ll make you your very own model if your name happens to be Jimmy Page or Slash. But the most impressive thing about theS folks at Gibson USA and the leg- endary Les Paul guitar they produce is that they have somehow mastered the art and science of making a handmade, custom guitar in a mass-production setting. Think of it: Even as you’re note reading this, dozens of musicians are purchasing an instrument that bears all the hallmarks of a customized product, from its electronics to its high-gloss finish, an instrument that emits a sound as unique and desired by Les Paul afi- cionados as the characteristic “potato- potato” sound is by Harley-Davidson fanatics. And thousands more are sav- ing their hard-earned money with the dream of buying one. Although Gibson USA, Nashville, Tenn., makes a huge variety of guitars and musical instruments, none has The legendary Les Paul guitar. the storied history of the Les Paul.
