Leading: The top of the guitar is generally made of 1 piece of close grained spruce, split in two and laid in half over the leading. This process is called 'bock-matching'. To improve the appearance of the guitar a rosette may perhaps be inlaid around the soundhole or a thin strip of darker wood may possibly sometimes be inlaid along the guitar behind the bridge. Bridge: Steel string guitars have non-adjustable bridges fixed to the guitar top. The function of the bridge would be to transmit the string vibration to the guitar leading, which will vibrate in turn and amplify the sound of the guitar. The bridge is typically made of rosewood or ebony and is fitted with a bone or plastic saddle. The acoustic guitar bridge doesn't compensate for intonation.
Want to buy a Fender American Standard Strat?
My new guitar teacher has one, and I really like it, but I haven't really heard how it sounds...I will this weekend...anyway
She said that she got it for around $1800
I was looking at it on eBay and It was like $1000-$1400
Why is that? The guitar is new and everything
And do you think its safe to buy something like this off eBay?
Cos, now i will get $50 every week, and I already have $200, so I can get the money, but still its better if cheaper, cos I need the money for an amp too and I dont want a crappy one...
People are always trying to cut deals on eBay, I've bought about 7 guitars off there and everything went OK, but you have to be real careful.
If you like the look of the strat, look at the squire brand. They are licensed by fender (same people who make the strat) but most are made in Mexico, with wood that is a little cheaper. You can get one for around $100-300. It won't sound exactly the same as a "real" fender, but will be pretty close, and will leave you with enough to get a great amp (a good amp is priceless). That way if you end up not liking the sound after awhile, you're not out much cash.
Just remember that the single coil pickups have a thin twangy sound, where something like a les paul style guitar has humbuckers, and will have a fuller, darker sound.
Best advice is to play what you can at a music store like Guitar Center, decide what you like, and try to find a deal either through the store or online.
Oh yeah...fender American standard Strat's on Musiciansfriend.com are going for just under 1,000. Your teacher got ripped off. Unless you're not in the US
Basically, it is not all about the functions. Not even the looks and the name of the brand. You know what makes it a cut above the rest? It is the tonal quality. And if you talk about tonal high quality, every and each and every Fender Electric Guitars has their own tonal top quality to brag about and has been employed and abused by a number of the greatest axmen of all time. For instance, with regards to the good old surf rock of the 50's and also the Grunge rock of the late 80's and early 90's, the Fender Jaguar was the axe of selection. Its clean tone was best for that very good old surf vibe and we you soup it up with distortion; it becomes the perfect weapon for grunge.
