Inlocuire Fretboard Gibson Les Paul Firebrand

[avatar2100]

 Salutare, aceasta chitara a fost fabricata in 1980 si apartine unui profesor de muzica, acesta si-a dorit sa customizam aceasta chitara, pentru a fi transmisa din generatie in generatie.

 Fretboardul original avea scala mai mica, dar am luat decizia de a construi unul nou cu scala de 24.750" si un nut din os. A fost o placere sa lucrez la aceasta chitara iar la final nu a fost nevoie de relacuire.

Cu tot respectul, dar nu prea am inteles afirmatia: "avea scala mai mica". Cat de mica? Si ai inlocuit-o cu una mai mare sau cum?

Cred ca a vrut sa spuna ca avea limba (lungimea efectiva a bucatii de palisandru) mai scurta si probabil ca a facut-o mai lunga pe cea noua. Caci de modificat scala nu ai cum fara sa:modifici pozitia bridge-ului. Se mai putea spre exemplu prelungi tastiera si monta un nr. suplimentar din taste, pastrand insa scala, dar din ce vad in poze nu este cazul. Eu cred ca a vrut sa zica de lungimea limbii care se intinde pana peste corp, nu scala.

 Ok, voi incerca sa explic.

 In primul rand tastiera montata este din abanos de cea mai buna calitate, nu palisandru.
 Scala originala era in jurul a 24,525 nu foarte exacta, eu mi-am facut modelul in corel dupa care am gravat cu laser bucata de lemn si am terminat-o de construit manual, radiusul de 12" l-am facut tot manual inainte.  
 Ambele tastiere sunt identice ca lungime, dar pentru a putea alinia perfect cu imbinarea grifului in corp si pentru a nu modifica pozitia bridge-ului, am dus putin mai in fata noul fretboard iar nutul l-am facut un pic mai ingust.
 Totul foarte simplu, doar un pic de atentie.

A-SCALELENGTH

WHAT IS SCALE LENGTH?

A guitar's scale length is calculated by measuring the distance from the front edge of the nut, where it butts against the end of the fingerboard, to the center of the 12th (octave) fret, then doubling that measurement.

If your 1930's Gibson L-OO, for example, measures 12-3/8" at the 12th fret, then your guitar's scale length is twice that—a 24-3/4" scale. For good intonation, the guitar's saddle will be placed so a little extra string length is added. This extra length is called "compensation," and it means the actual string length is longer than its 24-3/4" scale measurement. At the center of the saddle it will be closer to 24-7/8". Compensation varies for different strings, and that's why your saddle is placed at an angle.

HOW SCALE LENGTH AFFECTS TONE

Fender
One of the most common scale lengths is the Fender 25-1/2" guitar scale. Found on Stratocasters^®, Telecasters^®, and the huge variety of instruments inspired by them as well as the replacement, and custom parts available for them.

The 25-1/2" produces a rich, strong, bell-like tone, and defined low-end.

Gibson
The Gibson 24-3/4" scale is also very common, but it is also the most confusing of all scale lengths—this is because it rarely ever measures out to be 24-3/4 inches! This scale has gradually changed over the past fifty or so years due to changes in production equipment.

Being shorter than the Fender 25-1/2" scale, the Gibson 24-3/4" scale has a lower tension/easier to play feel, and a warmer tone.

PRS, Dobro, & National
When luthier Paul Reed Smith was developing his now highly desirable guitars, he was looking to capture the harmonic richness of the Fender electric's tone as well as the fullness, warmth, and playability of the Gibson electric guitars. PRS opted for a scale length of 25", which is also found on Dobro and National guitars.

The bass strings on a 25" scale are fuller sounding than some 24-3/4" instruments, which can sometimes sound muddy. The treble strings are not only easier to bend than on a 25-1/2" scale, but also have a warmer, and fuller tone.

Clar distanta la octava nut-tasta12 trebuie sa fie perfect egala cu distanta tasta12-cordar

Bravo man...la solutia sa impingi putin tastiera spre nut nu m-as fi gandit nicio data si sa lasi cordarul pe gaurile lui originale

Arata super fain asa chitara

Sincer sa fiu, am multe de comentat, dar prefer sa renunt, pt. ca constat ca @avatar2100 e un tip de buna-credinta.

Din punctul meu de vedere, comentariile sunt bine-venite, doar suntem pe un forum unde facem schimb de opinii/experienta.

Am repostat fotografiile deoarece nu mai erau vizibile.

Ma enervezi :))

Cind vad lucrari din astea imi vine sa ma apuc iar de studiul chitarei. Felicitari!
