Guitars Ever notice how many web sites published by solid modeling specialists ("CAD Geeks") have some kind of tie-in to guitar fabrication, repair, or music theory? Well I'm an aficionado, too. Maybe it's the beautiful curving shapes; perhaps it's the form meeting function; it could be the desire for control-- exerting influence over material objects, guided by the laws of physics--to produce subtle tones and harmonics; or maybe there's a gene that predisposes people who excel in one field to also strive for mastery in the other. I have a better shot at producing an amazing guitar than I do at producing amazing music. So I'm developing my crafts-both solid modeling and guitar fabrication/repair. Signal Synthesis and Analysis Ever hook an oscilloscope to the output of your guitar and wonder how the waveform got so distorted? Some guitar technicians believe the pick-ups must be overloading when they see the wave-shape. Check out the cause here.
I've always loved my 1972 Les Paul Deluxe. It's mini-humbucker pick-ups are little screamers. I replaced the Tune-O-Matic bridge pieces many years ago with custom-machined 316 stainless. I get sustain that never ends.
This repair job was demanding. This vintage Framus needed an extreme makeover!
