The guitar is one of the top three instruments in the world and ranks third. Many people know the guitar, but little is known about him. There are many varieties of guitars, such as folk guitars, classical guitars, jazz guitars, and electric guitars. Since I know a lot about electric guitars, I mainly talk about my opinions on electric guitars. Everyone knows that the most common electric guitar brands are probably Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, which are the three major brands of the world guitar. The world’s first electric guitar was invented by Fender during the Second World War. So until now Fender’s guitar type is still recognized as the traditional guitar type of electric guitar. The traditional guitar type of electric guitar is the kind of electric guitar that you first show in your brain whenever someone brings you an electric guitar. That is the basic guitar type of electric guitar. But from my personal point of view, I really don’t like the guitar of Fender. The reason is simple: vulgar! It looks too vulgar! !
Whenever someone mentions an electric guitar, people will definitely think of Fender’s electric guitar, so there is no way to make it a recognized standard electric guitar.
Gibson is more expensive than Fender in similar guitars. Because Gibson is more attentive than Fender in terms of materials and origin. The authentic Gibson is native to the United States. Usually Gibson’s piano twists are made of finest jade. Every Gibson body is made of mahogany, because mahogany can make the body vibrate to the extreme. Only when the body vibration is increased, the tone can be fuller and the volume can be louder. If you see a Gibson body is not a mahogany, I think Gibson is not safe. But I got a message not long ago that the current mahogany has banned or restricted mining. Therefore, the use of redwood wood to gradually replace the mahogany. Because the vibration frequency of redwood is the closest to mahogany. And there is news that Gibson will set up a factory in China in the near future in order to reduce costs. It may be difficult to see the American-made Gibson again in the future.
A good guitar, you put your right hand on the guitar head, and the left hand sweeps the strings. The more the shock, the better the guitar. I have tried Gibson, God! That feels so cool.
Feel the wrists are shaking! The good Gibson body is made of superior mahogany, and the fingerboard is made of ebony. And dried in the natural environment for several years, so that the piano can be made to cope with all kinds of weather, without shrinking and deforming.
For example, there is a well-known brand in the box piano called Martin. Martin’s guitar is usually tens of thousands. The wood used is the finest wood that has been dried for decades.
The best Gibson I have ever seen is the 1959 replica Gibson Les Paul, produced in 1996.
Most notable is the use of 5A grade maple veneer, hand-made pickups. As long as you take this guitar out, you don’t have to talk to you. People think that you are a master. Usually a good series in a guitar brand is the CUSTOM series, meaning Chinese means custom.
For example, Fender CUSTOM series, GibsonCUSTOM series, a Gibson CUSTOM usually sells for about 16,000 yuan, this is the official price. It can be said that it is quite expensive.
All of its metal parts are gold-plated, and the workmanship is superb. Of course this is not the most expensive guitar in Gibson. Jazz guitars are usually more sophisticated in manufacturing, so they are more expensive. The jazz guitar body is hollow, and the body has f-space on both sides and a long violin. This design is to make the sound more full.
The vibrating sound of the strings resonates in the vacuum body and is released through the f-holes, making the sounds fuller and rounder. A Gibson jazz guitar is conservatively said to be more than 20,000, and it will be more expensive with a shaker. Some may reach 30,000, so the average guitar enthusiast can only sigh, can not be reached, this is also a symbol of high quality.
Next, talk about Fender. Fender is the most popular electric guitar in the world. It has two parts: cents and ink. It means American and Mexican. The quality of American products is the best, but the quality is proportional to the price. Its price is also the most expensive.
In contrast, Mexico’s production is slightly inferior to American production. A good Fender body is usually made of eucalyptus or ash, and the neck and fingerboard are made of maple, rose or mahogany.
The best Fender I have ever seen is seen in the friend’s house of my master.
The most amazing thing about Fender is that its fingerboard is made of bird’s eye maple.
The bird’s eye maple is the leader in the maple, rarely seen in the world. Because of its rarity, the rate of finished products makes it extremely expensive. The surface of the wood is golden yellow, and it is covered with patterns, just like ink painting. Unfortunately, the guitar is just a fingerboard is a bird’s eye maple. If the entire neck and the head are all integrated with a bird’s eye maple, then the piano can be worth a lot of money. However, I guess there are not many such guitars in the world. A Fender is only 3,000 yuan cheaper, which is definitely good news for guitar lovers who are looking for high quality but not enough money. The most expensive Fender I have ever seen is the 16,000. This is a lot different from Gibson. So Fender’s penetration rate is much higher than Gibson.
I have already said two of the world’s three major guitar brands, and the last one is Ibanez.
I have nothing to say about this brand, and I know very little about it. So it is not convenient here to have too many views of myself. But the quality of this brand is unquestionable, absolutely great, not less than Fender and Gibson! The weapon of the world rock emperor Steve Van is this brand! ! China’s guitar industry has just started, and many foreign brands are still not known to us. There are many excellent brands in these brands, and there are many brands that are economical and cost-effective, such as WASHBURN (Warrior), B.C.RICH, CORT, JACKSON (Jackson), SQUIER, Epiphone (Ipperial), YAMAHA, etc. Let’s say one by one.
First of all, WASHBURN, some people may be a bit strange to this brand.
But when someone mentions the word “warrior” to you, you probably know.
This brand is a famous brand.
For example, some unique piano models have become their brand patents. For example, the signature guitar endorsed by Pantera band guitarist Dimebag Darrell, the Dime series has become one of the iconic instruments of heavy metal music. There is also the N4 series.
The WASHBURN N4 has a neck that is extremely suitable for fast performance. The five bolts are connected in a curved manner to the neck and the body, allowing you to play in high positions without difficulty. Using the famous Bill Lawrence L-500 and the Seymour Duncan ’59 pickup, combined with the anti-head design, it has a miraculously beautiful sound.
The Floyd Rose bridge with a locking system is not easy to run and works perfectly with the Fei-ten correction tuning system. This is a flagship model of Washburn, which has long been an immortal model in electric guitars. Of course, its price is also very expensive, up to 15,000 yuan.
Let’s talk about B.C.RICH, this brand of guitar, just two words, beautiful! A variety of shaped guitar body types, extremely luxurious, can easily impress the hearts of consumers.
But big-name bands are rarely used, perhaps because they look good but not practical.
And the quality is difficult to guarantee, the legendary B.C.RICH, all are made in China.
Some guitar companies buy domestically made Korean products, and generally can’t tell the truth, and even B.C.RICH in foreign guitar stores is exported from China. I have never seen American-made products, and many people say that there is no real B.C.RICH in China, unless you let people take one from the United States.
The guitar of the CORT brand has been known to many guitarists in recent years. However, due to its excellent quality, the high cost performance has made it a household name. For example, the NZ series guitar endorsed by guitarist NEIL ZAZA. The body is made of top American ash, the top is tiger skin maple, and the pillow made of animal bones adds to the sturdiness. The winder is made in the USA and can lock the strings. And in order to increase the tension of the strings, this signature piano uses the winding of the strings through the body. This unique design is designed to increase the vibration of the strings and enhance the sustaining effect for a better sound. And such a high-quality guitar is priced at just over 5,000, which is unmatched in similar guitars. The famous Tang Dynasty band guitarist Chen Lei is also a loyal user of CORT.
JACKSON brand is also a brand that has to be said, cost-effective, Nissan guitar. Good JACKSON is a work of art, designed by the master of graffiti, drawing the pattern of the guitar, usually for four or five thousand dollars to get a good guitar.
Next, talk about SQUIER. To put it bluntly, if you are a beginner guitarist, don’t want to invest too much, and want to buy a guitar that you can say, buy SQUIER. As we all know, this brand is a subordinate brand of Fender, authorized by the US Fender company. Usually everyone is affectionately called the Fender SQ series, and the market price transparency is very high.
The domestic SQ is also about 800, and the pickup of the real guitar is printed by the SQUIER logo, usually there is no fake guitar. Even if it is a fake guitar, the authenticity of the guitar can be determined without the SQUIER logo on the pickup. If the fake guitar is marked on the pickup, it will increase the cost, and the seven or eight hundred guitars will not earn.
Therefore, increasing the cost is the fate of the loss, so generally no counterfeiters do this.
Finally talk about Epiphone. The Korean brand is a beautiful brand with a touch of beauty and is the first choice for heavy metal instruments. And JACKSON is also called rock and roll.
There are too many words about this brand to say, the brand is good. We have a lot of misunderstandings about the Epiphone brand. For example, the most common saying is that the role of Epiphone is like SQUIER. Epiphone is a subordinate brand of Gibson, this is true.
But in history it was Gibson after the Epiphone. In fact, the American-made Epiphone is quite powerful, definitely not inferior to Gibson.
