TWANG... my guitar blog 关于吉他的信息 Guitar talk. Fender vs. Gibson. The comparisons never end. When it comes to guitar sound, sometimes the musician has more control by personal style than the instrument itself... however that can also be disputed. Let's look at the specs: The Fender Stratocaster model has a scale length of 25-1/2" that's measured from the nut to the bridge. The Gibson Les Paul model (depending on the year manufactured) has a scale length of 24-3/4" from the nut to the bridge. That's about 3/4 of an inch difference.... in general, a longer string has deeper bass tones and a stronger sound. The shorter string has a warmer tone, lower tension and easier to play. Jimi Hendrix popularized the Stratocaster. It's said he tuned 1/2 note lower than standard tuning This gave his guitar more of a 'twangy' sound. There's so much more to guitars than this quick blog reveals... for example, Fender guitars are made as components and assembled on a production line. The neck is 'bolt-on' and can be removed for adjustment or replacement. Gibson necks are typically glued on directly to the body. The difference? Most say the glued on neck has better sustain as the string vibration transmits directly to the body. Again, the setup and musician performing typically can override those claims. When you're standing in front of three stacks of 100 watt Marshall amps, lack of sustain is NOT an issue! 短规模吉他有着圆润的声音。长期规模吉他有更强的声音。 |
