This is what often makes us confused, there is also a producer of pick-ups that make the pick-up does not match the existing standards or the customization again. This type of pick-ups are found "embedded" in the Telecaster guitar, a pick-up called soapbar was a bit strange but that's reality affect.
Pick-ups of this type has a higher output from the single coil but lower than the double coil, voice crunch, twangky, rather bright n very ordinary once used in the flow of a jazz-blues or country.
Other Types of Pick-Up
Single Pick-Up
Well his name is also single (read: singgel) yes of course, means "alone". Now pick-up is commonly used on guitar Stratocaster, Telecaster guitar and on the type installed in the middle of RG on the guitar body. Output from this type of pick-up is low enough (mid-low) but the excess is generated sound more twangky and Crunch with clarity and detail are quite clear. This is the added value of single coil pick-ups. Biasanaya pick-ups of this type used by guitarists who were jazz and classical genres, although did not rule out the rock guitarist also uses a pick-up is to add variation in the sound of music they deliver.
Guitar Pick-Up
In the world of "guitar" that we draw in this case is an electric guitar, would not feel comfortable, safe, peaceful and serene without discussing (albeit slightly) about the name PICK-UP. Pick-ups or the language we call this person or persons spuel call this technique as a transducer which certainly means this function to convert string vibrations into electrical signals so that we can not change the guitar sound (or voice output can be regulated effects) or more "clear" his pick-up is what we continue to capture the vibration of the strings vibrations converted into electrical signals which flowed form the cable into the amplifier which then "spit out" through the speakers. For more details, you better take the college faculty or engineering courses in electrical engineering majors with a concentration in electronics :)
In the world of regular or frequent pergitaran we heard two different types of pick-ups ie single pick-ups (single coil) and hambucker pickups (double coil). This pickup coil made of coil (wire email) that there is metal in the middle-middle magnet (coil). Magnetic metal used as the material making pick-ups are usually a mixture of metals such as Alnico (A mixture of Al-Ni-Co), ceramic, steel, iron and copper.
Make a Guitar with 'Taste'
Guitar, who does not know these strings? Not only the passage of the musicians who make the rhythm guitars to be beautiful. But there's skillful hands of it's maker
which underpins every passage of a harmonious, beautiful and playbility.
Making the guitar had to be filled with 'taste'. Thus expressed Mr. Wen (45). Male full name Wenardi Wigono Yosefat this was a guitar maker with brands Guitar Secco. 'Pain' that's what he tried to instill in eight of its employees while producing the guitar.
According to Mr. Wen to produce a quality guitar with a rhythm determined also by the production process of the guitar itself. Starting from selecting materials
quality, construction techniques with a slick production and the expertise of the manufacturer in making every detail or craftmanshop.
For materials, Mr. Wen chose wood for the main component. Rosewood (sonokeling), Spanish cedar, sprus Germany, maple or mahogany. Each timber has a different color and line. That, he said, will affect the color of the guitar sound when plucked.
So is the mood or the mood of its maker. Susana liver becomes so important because it may be critical to make every detail look perfect. For in the making of this guitar, said Mr. Wen, the potential for failure is high. One bit can change back the finished component.
Nothing wrong if Mr Wen said, making the guitar have a taste. It could be related to the premises also boasts a music game 'feel'. So, Mr. Wen also
always tried to instill positive thoughts in every employee.
Mr. Wen with Secco Guitarnya initiate steps in this guitar making business in 1999. In 2000, he began to open a production room at Jalan Tanjung 13.
Guitar-acoustic or classical guitar is the main production. In addition, Mr. Wen also produce a violin and mandolin.
For Mr. Wen, a guitar is a challenge. "What makes things beautiful rings, assembled from wood, then arranged to live. From there arose something fun," said this gentleman born in Purwokerto.
In one month, could generate 10-20 Secco Guitar guitar with the material composition of the layers of wood and wood bodyside. But for pure solid wood guitar throughout
components of wood, Secco Guitar only produce just two guitars.
Different components also determines the price of each guitar. Mr. Wen sells his guitar from the start price of USD $ 3 million to dozens of million rupiah. In each of his guitar, Mr. Wen
provide a lifetime warranty for every customer.
Customer satisfaction is primary. Making a guitar, to him as to create two guitars. If consumers do not get satisfaction with his guitar. Mr Wen will then transform it into a new guitar.

[IMMEDIATE] Country Guitar Makers
Tray Village, a village which belonged Sukoharjo District, Central Java, has since the 1970s known as the village of guitar makers. Cottage industry of making guitar music instrument originated from two citizens who return home, after working in the land of rising sun of Japan in the 70s.
Two people this is the forerunner to the village known as Village Tray guitar. It is said that when in Japan, they both worked at a guitar factory. But not many who know these two people personally, because they then migrate to the city of Solo.
However, their skills are still lasting impressions. Now almost all the citizens of the Village Tray, relying on income from handicrafts to make a guitar, or other similar instruments. Like Selo, Bass, choke, Rebab and mandolin.
One thing that stands out, the villagers worked shoulder to shoulder in order, especially if the numbers quite a lot. There are some houses that are specifically working on guitar parts procurement handlebar. While some other home made guitar parts, and some specific conduct or the finishing stages of completion. Rarely do his own guitar-making in one house. because it requires large capital and sufficient amount of labor.
Parto Widodo for example, recently began operations in 1994 wrapper, specifically working on the guitar body or bodies. Every day should be completed six dozen Parto body guitar, to meet weekly targets as much as 30 dozen, which was subsequently assembled and polished in another place by the finising.
For home-based business category, as do Parto, it takes at least 10 million rupiah in capital. The largest allocation of funds, to purchase equipment and penghalus board cutting machines, most of whom are still imports. Appliance was sometimes still have to be adjusted here and there according to needs. The principal problem faced by Parto and guitar craftsmen in the village of Baki, is how to survive as well as return of capital.
Both the poor quality of the guitar, among others determined by the type of wood used. This wood choice will greatly affect the sound of guitar echo. While the quality of the glue plywood to the guitar, will greatly affect the strength endurance. Every craftsman has his own concoction of glue. So it can be said, the glue is the secret ingredient of each production house.
The price of this guitar body, varies between 15 thousand to 25 thousand dollars. when it is finished, the guitar output tray Village could be sold with price range between one hundred thousand to three hundred thousand dollars.

Order of Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, and Singapore in the last two years kept the guitar makers mengalir.taraf life is arguably mediocre. To make a guitar, they are often indebted to a number of raw materials store in the city. Price was certainly become more expensive, than if they can obtain raw materials from nature.
In addition to production costs, any income earned, such as Parto for example, still must be used to pay five people pekerja.Sungguh dear indeed. Expertise to make a guitar, do not also raise the economy of this family in the village Tray. they continue to live from hand to mouth. (Sup) gan ni ad a few pictures.

The maker of Guitar World Class Mojokorto
Who would have guessed that a village in East Java is a site where a world-class guitars made by several young children? But this is reality..
Miftachul Falaq, citizens of Mojokerto, East Java, every day got up at five o'clock in the morning. After bathing, prayers and deliver his son to school, she waited for her colleagues at home for pushing breakfast together.
They later gathered at the workshop a very, very simple in the back of the house. The goal? Creating something that seems impossible to do with equipment that is more a very, very simple again: a world-class guitar.
From about nine o'clock to five o'clock, Falaq and six colleagues to make guitars and guitar only, not other than that, for six days a week. Is it electric or acoustic guitar is not a matter for them.
On a small table in the workshop, along with an ashtray full of cigarette butts, screws, screwdriver and other tools, lay piles of catalogs renowned guitar manufacturer like Ibanez, Fender and Gibson. You just point to the desired model, price negotiation for one or two minutes, and within three weeks of your order is complete.
"During this time we are always on time," said Falaq.
"Our capital is not only the skills and morale, but also trust the buyer."
Then, what about quality?
I had the opportunity of trying on electric guitars it looks from a distance of about two meters did not differ with the Fender Stratocaster, which is used Eric Clapton or Jeff Beck. Using only local guitar amplifier that had an amazing sound-cs Falaq work can indeed be justified.
Similarly, Gibson-style acoustic guitar which is used by The Beatles and the model Les Paul, the guitarist's favorite kind of jazz-gaungnya loud, dense and musical.
It's amazing, and that's all it was made by six people with educational backgrounds that are not too great but having the talent and extraordinary perseverance.
(Falaq D3 itself only has a diploma for English.)
By paying at least a tenth of its original price, who would not be tempted to have a guitar made Falaq and friends? And you can ask for anything brand-even though-put your name at the head of the guitar.
"Benny Panjaitan of Panbers order a guitar with the signatures soldered on it," said Falaq.
Falaq do have the expertise to create world-class guitar. About six years ago he worked at a guitar factory in Korea in Surabaya. Here he is not just making a living but also to absorb thoroughly the entire process of making music instruments. After 14 months there he felt ready to do the same thing but in a much smaller scale.
After Falaq with his friends several times managed to make a guitar that is sufficient, he decided to go into business. However Falaq need capital to buy equipment and other production facilities such as electric saws and polishing the guitar body and others, of course. A land area of nearly 1000m2, where there is a house, still leaves a place to set up a simple workshop area of 100m2. That's where Falaq and his colleagues began the long process of making guitars.
He then requested a loan to a local cooperative, which then suggested he prepare a proposal to be forwarded to the office of Garuda Indonesia in Surabaya.
This national airline is indeed a 'foster father' of various small businesses, and the work done Falaq entry in that category.
Hope Falaq and his friends began to manifest when several officers dealing with Garuda Indonesia was researching his business. After they survey the workplace Falaq, plans and capital works which he himself would provide, flows the funds used to purchase raw materials and equipment.
"They believe that my business has good prospects, and they were also confident of my skills and seriousness," said Falaq.
"I thank you very much to Garuda Indonesia, which trust me several years ago and now."
From the workshops, is now an area of approximately 200m2 to accommodate the formation of the guitar body, the room to try out guitars at once 'showroom', and painting and drying and polishing, produced about 40 guitars of various types in a month.
"I omset approximately USD 40-50 million a month with a tidy profit after deduction of raw materials and energy," said Falaq.
Unless the string along with the rotation and electric elements, all materials obtained locally, including mahogany is an important determinant of quality guitar sound.
Is he ambitious to increase its business?
"If I do that, I am no longer a producer of custom-made guitars. Precisely this is what I want, create a custom guitar. I stress quality, not quantity, such as plant pursued guitar, "explains Falaq.
"Precisely what I am doing this now makes my heart happy."
In our visit for two hours, coffee, tea bottles, cigarettes, bananas and fried tempeh flows without stopping, according to hospitality typical of the people of East Java. 'Showroom' where we talked to was very hot and only disejukkan by an old electric fan spare parts may now be classed as rare. We often times looked to be ready to step aside; fan any time it seems to be loose from his grip and fell on our heads.
"If you come here next time, this room would have its own air conditioning," he said.
After listening to the quality of products produced Falaq and his friends as well as a growing number of clients, we believe all the promises will be fulfilled.
Guitar is Made of Ice Sticks

Instructables user busupholstery successfully made everyone speachless when he uploaded photos guitar that he made, using ice cream sticks. He bought a 4000 stick, worth $ 900, and finally using 2000 to create his works of DIY. Using his own gremlin guitar as a measure of the pattern, he spent 240 hours of gluing and cutting ice cream bars, until this strange guitar finish.
The most amazing thing about the achievements of this is that he managed to build a guitar craft sticks, somewhere in Costa Rica, basically just using hand saws, some clothesline rubber bands, and glue. Let's face it, most of us will not be able to make something like this with the latest power tools that are available.
