Schertler Guitars And Their 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 made by this producer are professional and designed for use by people of varying skill levels. The products are made to look as appealing as the sound they make. The sides, neck, and top are made in a unique way to make them outstanding. The 2007 business association with the Italian Claudio Pagelli has boosted the guitars further.

Tops are made from Swiss alpine spruce moon wood. Moonwoods are defined by most encyclopedias as woods that in the view of tradition exhibit unique and outstanding attributes. The unique attributes are result from felling at specific moon phases. Certain moon-related felling beliefs have been passed on through numerous generations and have confirmed to be useful in given timber industries.

The Schertler guitars have the headstock reinforced with a piece of ebony timber that is three millimeters thick. The reinforcement is intended to produce better tones and to create an excellent optical effect that elongated fingerboards produce. The headstocks are also lightweight and add to the general balance of necks and show the original Schertler appliance-heads. Knobs are made from ebony wood and are of greatest quality with time-less 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 made neck has ebony fingerboard that has a flat profile to enable players of the instrument to even enjoy it more. Steel-string models have a truss rod that allows adjustments in either direction to get a good shape on the neck in any position. The resistance of the neck in classical brands is improved by a glass fiber rod. The nuts are made from 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 equipment can be bought from a couple of worldwide dealers. They are not as costly as one might think, although performance is a guaranteed feature. For a special musical moment, these appliances are the real deal.
