Members Django Sentenza Posted March 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 Nice post! : This said (and in all seriousness), in my experience with archtops and djangoboxes, it is the opposite that is true: the higher the bridge/greater the string angle, the louder the attack, the shorter the sustain, and the more focussed the tone. Lower the bridge enough and your Djangobox will start to sound like a dreadnought: more harmonics, longer sustain, and your tone does not cut through the mix anymore. To achieve appropriate bridge height/string angle, the neck is also at an angle to the body (whatever the technical term for this is... neck break angle?). How do you explain this? Floating bridge/hollow body vs. fixed bridge/solid body? I am full of {censored}? Other? Edit: see for example what I found on a luthier's website (it's actually about mandolins, but you know that archtops are pretty much built like mandolins, right?) Longer sustain, eh? I've never experienced that with a shallower angle. You definitely get more harmonics. Have you considered that your guitar may be haunted?

Have you considered that your guitar may be haunted? So you don't know? I am disappointed. Also, I can't see the image you posted, so I am doubly disappointed.

Members Django Sentenza Posted March 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 So you don't know? I am disappointed. Also, I can't see the image you posted, so I am doubly disappointed. Without bringing your guitar into the tonemanship laboratory for further analysis, I would just be guessing. The missing image: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted March 27, 2012 Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 Nice hat... I collect hats (not strats...hate those damn things) but I don't have one like that. I wonder if she'd sell that one? EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Happy Ending Posted March 27, 2012 Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 The Strat is an imperfect instrument, but still one of the greatest concepts ever put into the hands of guitarists. Despite its shortcomings some of the worlds most respected players have managed to be very creative with it. I will always have at least one Strat.

Members aliensporebomb Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 Look, nobody plays the JIZZMASTER, the name is too offensive and nobody can get past it. The Jageueueueueuerr is also a problem instrument due to the spelling. Jageueueueueueueuerr is another problem in that the name keeps elongating and. .... just get an Ibanez.

Members Rex Machete Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 Uma, why are you copy-pasting your old {censored}ty string angle thread here? I mean you take the time to create the thread and respond to posts, but you can't even be bothered to write a new pretentious justification for your toys?

Members gtrwiz Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm a bit late to the party, but the OP definitely has some points. When I was a kid, like 18-20, I thought strats were cool. By the time I was a grown man I realized it's really a child's instrument. You know the kid that always wanted to be included and be "one of the guys", but was just an aloof dorky kid? Those guys play strats in the 2 & 4 position going "wow, I've really got that 'strat quack' thing happening!" as they jam away to John Mayer and SRV records. When they get old they eventually start listening "mature" players that have a more "hip" vocabulary like Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, and other coma inducing musicians.
