Schertler Guitar And Its Parts

By Judy Sullivan


Stefan Schertler is a great producer of transducers and pickups for acoustic equipment. He is from Switzerland and he began his job in the early 80s. Since his first invention, it is over thirty years of ongoing development and research. Acoustic amplification instruments manufactured by this gentleman are becoming a point of reference in the world of music. New acoustic from this guy could be ordered from famous brands such as Santa Cruz, Martin, and Gibson. The acoustics contain bluestick pickups from Schertler loaded onboard.

Guitars produced by this designer are professional and meant for use by individuals of varying levels of skills. The products are made to appear as beautiful as the sounds they produce. The neck, top, and sides are made in unique ways to make them stand out. The 2007 business partnership with Claudio Pagelli has enhanced the guitars even further.

The tops are constructed using Swiss alpine spruce moon-wood. Moonwood is defined by encyclopedias as wood which in view of tradition has unique and outstanding properties. The unique properties result from felling during certain phases of moon. Certain moon-related felling exercises have been carried forward through many generations and have proved to be of help in specific timber industries.

Schertler guitars have their headstocks reinforced with pieces of ebony wood that are three millimeter in thickness. The reinforcements are meant to produce best tones and to form elegant optical effects that elongated finger-boards generate. Headstocks are also light-weight and add to overall balance of the necks and reveal the original Schertler device-heads. Knobs are produced from ebony timber and are of best quality with timeless modishness.

The bridge is constructed from ebony to guarantee an elegant flat surface. A flat surface is important for uniform response from the electrostatic Bluestick under-saddle pickups. The under-saddle is shaped into bone and is precisely fixed to give strings an angle of twelve degrees. The precise placement of under-saddles facilitates the transmission of string vibrations with efficiency. It also gives better compensation in tuning when string action is reduced or raised.

The satin mahogany produced necks have ebony finger-boards that contain flat profiles to allow players of the device to have more fun. Steel-string versions have truss rods which permit adjustment in either direction to attain a good shape on necks in all positions. The resistance on necks in classical brands is improved using glass fiber rods. Nuts are made of bone.

The bindings are made from fine rosewoods, contrasted by nice binding lines in maple. These guitars are made in a wide range of makes. There exists those that generate alto, tenor, soprano, bass, and a blend of all the sounds. Leather straps that appear with them render them simple to lift around when in use. The sizes, colors shapes also differ, leaving someone with a wide variety to pick from.

Schertler guitars and acoustic devices can be acquired from various dealers globally. They are not as pricey as one may imagine, even though they guarantee performance. For an exclusive musical time, these gadgets are the best deal.
