A list of Affiliates will be made soon.
This page will have some general information on guitar parts, etc.
Hardware:
Fixed bridge - Great for stability. If you drop to D a lot this is for you! Better overall tone and sustain.
Floyd trem - Double locking to keep you in tune. You can do marvelous things! Great for the out there solo god! Be prepared to take time to set it up, restring.
Standard style trem - There are some great trems on Fender American Strats, that do a great job. Yngwie loves a well set up standard trem. Great for melodic players, not in need of pyrotechnics!
Pick ups:
Humbuckers - Higher output, more gain. The louder the pick up the less treble response on the whole.
Single coils - Sharp, clean. Great to cut through a rather large racket.
Construction:
Bolt on neck - Bright punchy tone, very 'immediate' response, snappy.
Set neck - Great sustain and raw power.
Neck thru - Very tight, good sustain. It can almost sound compressed... ? The 'wings' contribute less to the overall tone, most of the sound comes from the centre piece.
Woods:
Alder - Bluesy, warm. The classic Strat wood. Great for most styles. The tone of Hendrix, Ynwie, Beck...
Mahogany - Thick, warm, more low end and lower mids. Less top end. Great for heavy, chunky rhythm, doomy riffs, sweet lead tone with a nice growl! Used in Gibson SG, V, Explorer. Angus, Sabbath, early Metallica.
Mahogany/Maple - The classic Les mix. Pounding bottom end, aggressive tops. A great match. The tone of Zep, some Rhoads, Slash...
Basswood - Popular Ibanez and Jackson wood. This slightly softer wood has tons of mids for throaty leads, shreddy riffing and crunchy rhythm. Seems to work well on Floyd style guitars. Think Vai, and early Satriani.
Maple - Mostly used for necks. Strong, bright, good looking! |
