Schertler Guitars And Their Components

By Judy Sullivan


Stefan Schertler is a known producer of pickups and transducers for acoustic appliances. He lives in Switzerland and he started his job during the early 1980s. Since his first development, it is over 30 years of ongoing research and development. Acoustic amplification instruments made by this man are becoming an anchor of reference in the music world. New acoustic from this man may be ordered from eminent brands such as Martin, Gibson, and Santa Cruz. The acoustics have bluestick pickups from Schertler installed 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 made using Swiss alpine spruce moonwood. Moon wood is defined in the encyclopedia as wood that in view of tradition exhibits unique and outstanding characteristics. The unique characteristics are as a result of felling during specific phases of the moon. Certain moon-related felling practices have been carried on through several generations and have shown to be helpful in certain 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 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 instruments can be purchased from a number of dealers worldwide. They are not as expensive as one may think, though performance is guaranteed. For an exclusive musical moment, these devices are the real deal.
