Custom Guitars

Written by Jamorama on May 31, 2009 — 3 Comments

Hello,  It`s the weekend but that doesn`t mean I`m not blogging, songwriting, forgetting to eat and here ready to update your knowledge of the guitar from A to Z.

So check out Rick Toone` guitar luthiery here. Rick fuses the history and tradition of guitar luthiery with contemporary knowledge, physics science and materials. Check out Ricks site because it is a highly informative resource for anyone interested in how guitars actually work and how they could be improved. Rick has taken this thinking forward to pioneer such ideas as:

• Acoustic instrument with tremolo/vibrato
• Simple realtime at-the-bridge player-adjustable intonation and action
• Alternative neck-to-body joint designs for improved upper fret access
• Easy inclusion of electric guitar pickups in an acoustic instrument
• Asymmetrical ergonomic body shapes
• Use of locally grown sustainable woods for body and neck construction

Keep it real . Yeah!

Beautiful Guitars

Written by Jamorama on May 28, 2009 — 1 Comment

I`m always looking for a sweet guitar machine  and here are some completely indulgent guitars from Teye Guitars. These beauties start out at a surprisingly lightweight three and a half grand U.S. dollars! Lucky. These guitars are hand made to varying degrees in Austin, Texas. If you want to look like a killer mayan gypsy guitar god then these are definitely the cup of tea you wanna be pouring! Yeah! Straight at you from the home of Johnny Winter…if you feel like a bit of a blues education try starting with Winters collection of albums. He can do it all.
