bob rains steel guitars
Description
Bob Rains has been playing steel guitar for 35 years, as a road player for Western Additions (ID), and as a session player recording at Muscle Shoals, AL, San Jose, CA, and Abilene, TX. For years Bob had dreamed of designing and building his own line of pedal steel guitars.
In 2002 that dream became reality when Bob debuted his line of pedal steel guitars. The classic design and rock-solid workmanship are by the team of Bob Rains and James Foster, a retired Lockheed machinist and accomplished steel guitarist ...

Pablo Requena, Maker of Fine Spanish Guitars.
Pablo's guitars are built following traditional Spanish methods of construction. He learnt these methods over the years and has developed them in his own personal way.
Pablo has worked with classical and flamenco guitars of well known makers who have created history. The makers who have influenced Pablo the most are Antonio de Torres, Santos Hernandez, Marcelo Barbero, Reyes and Hauser. Having studied their work has enabled him to incorporate some of their methods into his own guitars ...
To achieve the highest standards, Pablo personally selects all the woods for their individual qualities. Once in his workshop, they are stored to season to the optimum level to be used only when the wood is ready.
Pablo likes finishing his guitars in French polish, especially classical guitars as this enhances the sound and the beauty of the wood. For those in need of a more resistant finish he also offers polyurethane which is a high gloss finish, very tough and easy to maintain.

David Whiteman Guitars:
The guitars I make are precisely constructed, handmade from the finest materials to produce a finely balanced instrument with a firm, even response. I'm very selective when choosing timber to make a guitar, and reject over 80% of what I see when buying wood.
This attention to detail is continued in every aspect of my guitars, from the handmade rosettes, each individually designed and assembled, to the traditional French polish finish ...
I make guitars for concert musicians, professional teachers and keen enthusiasts, and have sent guitars to America, Japan, and throughout Europe and Scandinavia. The building of one of my guitars was the subject of the television documentary, The Guitarist and his Maker with recitalist Richard Durrant.

Rene R. Chouard: Die feinstimmbare Gitarre.
Solange Gitarren gebaut werden, gibt es Versuche, die Ungenauigkeiten der Intonation durch Veränderungen am Instrument zu beseitigen.
Die Ungenauigkeiten setzen sich aus vier Komponenten zusammen:
aus der durch fixierte Bünde festgelegten Mensur,
der Inhomogenität der Saiten,
den jeweiligen Eigenschaften des Instruments und
der individuellen Spieltechnik des Spielers.
Eine Lösung des Problems war letztlich nur in der Suche nach neuen Möglichkeiten für den Bereich der Mensur erfolgversprechend.
Für den Gitarrenbauer WALTER J. VOGT bestätigte sich diese Erkenntnis nach langjährigen Versuchen und Messungen, deren Leitbild die temperierte Stimmung war. Bei Versuchsanordnungen mit Testinstrumenten und dem gleichen Saitensatz ergaben Messungen mit einem Präzisions-Stimmgerät für jede Gitarre völlig abweichende Abstände der Bünde ...
The fine-tuneable guitar:
Ever since guitars have been built, numerous attempts to overcome the inaccuracies of intonation by means of instrument modifications have been made and failed.
Inaccuracies of current tuning arise from four factors: the compromise of fixed fret positions, inhomogenities of the strings, the instrument and the way of playing.
Imperfections in strings may be reduced but hardly eliminated. It remained to find a solution via the first factor, the frets.
After a lot of computations and series of experiments the guitar maker WALTER J. VOGT was led to believe in an new fretboard system tunable exactly to tempered scale. He demonstrated, that the scales displayed distinctly divergent intervals when the same strings were transfered from one to another test instrument ...
La guitare à frettes règlables:
Depuis qu'il y a des guitares, de nombreux essais ont été entrepris afin de venir à bout des inexactitudes du diapason fixe par des calculs et des expériences.
Les imprécisions de l'accord actuel dépendent de quatre facteurs:
le diapason fixe
les cordes et leur inhomogénéité
l'instrument et sa touche
la technique individuelle du musicien.
WALTER J. VOGT s'est penché sur ces problèmes dans les années 80.
Après de longues années de recherches et d'expériences la solution résidait dans un total boulversement du diapason fixe. Les valeurs calculées sur des guitares diffèrentes donnaient lieu, tout en utilisant des jeux de cordes de même marque, même calibre, a des divergences telles, que l'on jugea inutile de se donner plus de mal avec les frettes fixes.
Ceci a abouti à la touche, sur laquelle on peut accorder exactement les 110 - 120 demi-tons. Hélas Walter Vogt nous quittait en 1990. Il "peaufina" quelques jours avant sa mort l'ultime système de touche pour accorder le diapason temperé avec haute précision. La frette en plastique de haute qualité, fixée sur curseur, se meut dans un rail. Les frettes une fois fixées ne peuvent quitter leur position sous la pression des doigts du musicien ...
