The Left Handed Gibson Guitars Were Inspired By The Greatest Guitarists and Their Instruments

November 15th, 2010

The Left Handed Gibson Shop series has drawn considerable attention from players due to the unconventional artists that are already represented. For instance, actor Kiefer Sutherland’s KS-336-based model, to regional guitar ace Johnny A.’s two uniquely styled hollowbodies. The Left Handed Gibson stands by its decisions with pride, choosing artists with passion and a good ear to make unique guitars.

The “Inspired By” Left Handed Gibson guitars differ from the standard signature guitars in their extreme limited release. While some artists, like Zakk Wylde and Peter Frampton have both signature and Inspired By guitars, the Inspired By guitar is limited to 300 pieces, after which it is put away forever, while the Signature Series are meant to be able to be reproduced for years to come.”

Some of the Inspired By Left Handed Gibson guitars reflect the exact representation of a specific guitar, as in the case of the Jimi Hendrix 1967 Flying V, the first guitar in the Inspired By line. Released in 2006, it was an exact recreation of Jimi’s hand-painted V, used during The Experience’s ‘67-‘68 tour of Europe. Others are built to the specifications of the artist – taking into account their needs and modifications desired to build their dream guitar.

An example of this is the Peter Frampton Les Paul Special, which adds a third P-90 to the traditional design, as well as a Tune-o-matic bridge and slim taper neck profile – features not typically associated with Specials.

While Left Handed Gibson Shop never claims that it can predict who it will feature next, it did share its next Inspired By model: the John Lennon Les Paul, based on the modified Les Paul Junior that John played during his Madison Square Garden performance in 1972.

There’s Nothing Like The Acoustic Guitar

April 16th, 2010

Guitars have played an important part in molding the music of many cultures. Different types of guitars, including acoustic guitars, are used to create certain sounds and styles. Acoustic guitars got their name from the type of amplification they provide. Unlike the electric guitar, they do not need external devices for amplification; they are amplified acoustically. Acoustic guitars generally feature a standard array of six strings, although twelve string ones are also available. Wood is the most commonly used material for making acoustic guitars.

The type of wood used to manufacture acoustic guitars affects the quality and sound of the guitar. Some of them, however, can be made of several other materials. The more expensive guitars are generally made of solid wood tops, sides and backs. Beginner guitars are usually constructed with layers of wood pressed together, though, which is known as laminated wood. Different types of acoustic guitars are classified according to the material used in making their strings.

Nylon is commonly used, but steel string acoustic guitars are sometimes preferred because they can produce a louder sound. Guitars featuring steel strings require stronger construction than nylon string guitars, though. This is because there is a higher tension in steel strings. The body of a steel string acoustic guitar is also larger than nylon string guitars. The size and shape of acoustic guitars dates back to the mid 1800s, and these dimensions remain the same to this day. An acoustic guitar can be used either for finger picking, or for strumming. Regardless of the chosen method of playing, a pick is generally used. The acoustic guitar is used in many styles of rock music, such as folk, country, blues, bluegrass and folk. These guitars are also popular for solo performances. They are perhaps the most diverse instruments of our time. visit: http://www.zagerguitar.com
