Capacitors used in electric guitars are differentiated by the following electrical characteristics: Capacitance – the amount of electrical energy the capacitor can store. Capacitors used for the tone circuit are usually in the 10–50 nF range, [ 13 ] while treble bleed caps are smaller, usually 1–2 nF.
Leo Fender's Telecaster was the design that made bolt-on neck, solid body guitars viable in the marketplace. [ 3 ] Fender had an electronics repair shop called Fender's Radio Service where he first repaired, then designed, amplifiers and electromagnetic pickups for musicians—chiefly players of electric semi-acoustic guitars , electric ...
However, his most iconic guitar is the Mojo Chessmaster, a lefty Telecaster with a custom body built for him by Chris Cush of the Mojo guitar shop. [39] The Chessmaster (named by Flansburgh for its resemblance to a rook) has appeared in promotional images and music videos for the band from the early 90s up to 2018.
Telecaster Custom was introduced just around the time that Fender began to lose its reputation as a quality instrument company. Blighted with Fender's allegedly unstable 3 bolt adjustable neck joint and the characteristic 1970's style “notchless” upper cutaway, the Custom was also tarnished by negative perceptions surrounding the Pre/Post-CBS quality control debate.
The Fender Telecaster Thinline is a semi-hollow guitar made by the Fender company. It is a Telecaster with body cavities. Designed by German luthier Roger Rossmeisl in 1968, [1] it was introduced in 1969 and updated in 1972 by replacing the standard Telecaster pickups with a pair of Fender Wide Range humbucking pickups, bullet truss-rod and 3-bolt neck.
The heel is the term used to describe the thickened area of the end of the neck and/or body where the neck is attached to the body. Body-neck connection area thickening is required for structural integrity. In violins this area's called the "button", "saddle" or "nose". The area where the neck attaches to the body is naturally a weak zone.
Body capacitance was a significant nuisance when tuning the earliest radios; touching the tuning knob controlling the tuner's variable capacitor would couple the body capacitance into the tuning circuit, slightly changing its resonant frequency. Design of such circuits intended to be adjusted by a user must prevent interaction of the user's ...
A capacitor is a passive device on a circuit board that stores electrical energy in an electric field by virtue of accumulating electric charges on two close surfaces insulated from each other. This is a list of known capacitor manufacturers, their headquarters country of origin, and year founded. The oldest capacitor companies were founded ...
