Schertler Guitars And Their Parts

By Judy Sullivan


Stefan Schertler is a well-known designer and maker of transducers and pickups for acoustic devices. He resides in Switzerland and he first began his work in early 1980s. Since his initial invention, it has been more than thirty years of continuous development and great research. Acoustic amplification devices manufactured by Stefan are becoming a major reference in the music arena. New acoustics from this guy could be ordered from reputable brands such as Gibson, Santa Cruz, and Martin. The acoustics contain blue-stick pickups from Schertler fixed 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.

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.

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 bridges are produced from ebony wood to guarantee excellent flat surface. Flat surfaces are crucial for even response from electro-static Bluestick under-saddle pickup. The saddles are carved into bones and are precisely installed to give strings twelve degrees of angle. The accurate placement of the under-saddles facilitates transmission of thread vibrations with effectiveness. It also gives best compensation in tuning when the string action is raised and/or lowered.

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 made from fine rosewood, contrasted by elegant binding line in maple. The guitars come in a variety of makes. There are those that produce bass, alto, tenor, soprano, and a mixture of all the sounds. The leather strings that come with them render them easy to lift and handle around. The sizes, shapes, colors also vary, giving one a wide choice 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.
