Ken Miller Guitars:
Specializing in fretted instruments, we design and build each individually handmade instrument with an endless variety of options available to the customer - including woods (and extra fancy woods), inlays of shell, stone, metals and wood, and carving. We enjoy building with traditional materials, and are proud that the Brazilian Rosewood, Koa, and Ivory that we use are all from salvage or renewable harvest sources, so as not to contribute to the global depletion of these materials - while honoring those already harvested by recycling. These instruments are our interpretations of traditional art and designs which have inspired us and others.
We believe that a world class instrument is made of three essential components: (1) It must have quality sound and good volume, (2) it must be comfortable to play, and (3) it must be visually artistic and appealing. The final product is not only a result of our skills, but it is also an accumulation of the energy that is transferred from the builders into the very wood itself. We believe that our intention to build the very best guitar possible and our love of the work are incorporated into the essence of the instrument. We invite you to play our instruments and experience this essence.

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 ...
