Schertler Guitars And Their Components

By Judy Sullivan


Stefan Schertler is a known producer of pickups and transducers for acoustic appliances. He lives in Switzerland and he started his job during the early 1980s. Since his first development, it is over 30 years of ongoing research and development. Acoustic amplification instruments made by this man are becoming an anchor of reference in the music world. New acoustic from this man may be ordered from eminent brands such as Martin, Gibson, and Santa Cruz. The acoustics have bluestick pickups from Schertler installed onboard.

Guitars made by Stefan are highly professional and intended for use by players of different skills. The commodities are made to seem as beautiful as sounds they generate. The sides, necks, and tops are constructed in unique ways to ensure that they stick out. The 2007 business alliance with Claudio Pagelli from Italy has improved the guitars even more.

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 headstock strengthened with a three millimeter thick piece of ebony. The reinforcement is meant to generate better tone and to generate an elegant optical effect which is produced by elongated fingerboard. The headstock is also lightweight and adds to the balance of the neck and shows the original Schertler equipment-heads. Knobs are made of ebony timber and are of highest quality with timeless elegance.

The bridge is made from ebony wood to ensure a stylishly flat surface. Flat surfaces are vital for uniform response from the electro-static Bluestick under-saddle pickups. Under-saddles are carved into bone and are accurately fixed to offer strings an angle of 12 degrees. The exact placement of saddles facilitates transmission of string vibrations with efficacy. It also offers better compensation in tuning whenever string action is lowered and/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 binding is constructed from fine rosewood, contrasted by excellent binding lines in maple. The guitars appear in a wide range of models. There are those that generate bass, alto, soprano, tenor, and a combination of all sounds. The leather straps that are sold with them make them simple to handle and lift around. The shapes, colors, and sizes also vary, providing one with a wide selection 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.
