Metodi di fissaggio del corpo della chitarra (Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured CB)

Il metodo con cui il manico è assemblato al corpo della chitarra elettrica svolge un ruolo essenziale nel suono dello strumento musicale. In realtà, ci sono 3 tecniche principali di giunzione al corpo:

• manico avvitato
• manico incollato
• manico a conduzione

Manico avvitato (bolt-on neck)

Inizialmente utilizzato da Fender, questo metodo produce strumenti musicali in kit con parti sostituibili.

Questo tipo di fissaggio conferisce brillantezza alla chitarra.

Manico incollato o set neck

L’assemblaggio viene effettuato tramite una giuntura a maschio e femmina.
Promosso dalla marca Gibson, e successivamente dalla marca PRS, aumenta la durata del suono (sustain) e il vibrato.

Manico a conduzione (neck-thru)

Questa pratica risulta essere la più costosa. Il manico si estende dall’inizio alla fine della chitarra elettrica ed è parte integrante del corpo.
In questo modo garantisce una perfetta propagazione delle vibrazioni.

Su cosa basarsi per scegliere una chitarra elettrica (Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured CB)

Grazie al suo peso leggero, la chitarra elettrica è ideale per tutti i musicisti, anche per chi si sta avvicinando a questo strumento.

È adatta a numerosi stili musicali come:

• funk
• blues
• rock
• metal
• jazz

Per scegliere quella più adatta, bisogna tenere in considerazione alcuni criteri di selezione come:

• tessiture del corpo
• legno
• casse di risonanza
• microfoni
• manualità del manico
• numero di corde

Guitar Neck Attributes (Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured CB)

The size of a guitar neck varies depending on the model. Although the difference is not significant, it has an effect on the strings.

This has an impact on the melodies.

A short guitar neck

Since the strings are less tense and more flexible, playing becomes easier, as is the case with Les Paul guitars.

A longer neck

When the guitar neck is larger, like that of an Ibanez or Stratocaster, their vibration is livelier and string tension increases.

Guitar Scale Length

The scale length refers to the length of string vibration between the bridge and nut.

This size affects not only sound but also playability.
In fact, a shorter scale length will feel more comfortable.

The two preferred scale lengths are Fender Stratocaster’s 25.50 inches and Gibson’s 24.75 inches.

Electric Guitar Woods (Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured CB)

The woods used by most professional luthiers determine the resonance and sound of the electric guitar.

For the neck, the most common woods are mahogany and maple. For the fingerboard, it is usually:

• maple
• rosewood
• ebony

Changing the wood can easily alter the sound of the guitar.

Below are two of the most commonly used woods:

Rosewood

This dark wood, with its unmatched density and hardness, is chosen for fingerboard construction. It provides a warm resonance.

Mahogany

It offers a deep, round sound with strong sustain.

Guitar Bodies (Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured CB)

The type of resonant body has an impact on the sound of the guitar.

Semi-hollow body

It combines characteristics of both hollow and solid bodies.

This offers a semi-acoustic sound with more audible midrange and lower frequency. Thus, it is ideal for starting out with a small amplifier.

Hollow body

Guitars with hollow bodies are often used in jazz music. They are perfect for beginner guitarists as they produce better resonance.

Solid body

The first solid-body guitar was invented in the 1950s.
Its lightweight design makes it easy to handle. This style of guitar is popular in rock music.

Selecting Guitar Pickups (Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured CB)

When acquiring an electric guitar, attention should be paid to pickups. The pickups differ based on their winding.
There are:

• Guitars with humbucker pickups, like Gibson, which provide a higher output volume.
• Electric guitars with both single-coil and humbucker pickups.
• Electric guitars with single-coil pickups are more suitable for country, blues, or rock music.

How Many Strings? (Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured CB)

Usually, electric guitar strings are made of nickel or steel.

This makes them different from nylon strings.

The 12-string guitar

The 12-string electric guitar was particularly popular among folk music bands in the 1960s.

The 6-string electric guitar

This 6-string guitar has three bass strings and three treble strings.

The 7-string guitar

A 7-string electric guitar is a type of guitar for metal players. The strings on these models are similar to those on a standard 6-string electric guitar but have an additional lower-pitched string.
