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.

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 constructed from ebony to guarantee an elegant flat surface. A flat surface is important for uniform response from the electrostatic Bluestick under-saddle pickups. The under-saddle is shaped into bone and is precisely fixed to give strings an angle of twelve degrees. The precise placement of under-saddles facilitates the transmission of string vibrations with efficiency. It also gives better compensation in tuning when string action is reduced 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 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.
