Guitar production
1. Handmade guitar:
The guitar was once a popular folk instrument in young people’s circles and campuses, and it is still used by many people today. A favorite performance tool for amateur music lovers. Use the materials around you to make a mini guitar for him, and get familiar with the music rhythm and fingering first.
The materials needed to DIY a homemade guitar include: discarded cardboard boxes, rubber bands, acrylic paint, PVC plastic water pipes, a knife, and hot melt glue.
1. Use a knife to dig a small circular hole in the middle of the carton as a sound outlet. Drill four smaller holes below the hole for the strings. Use hand spray paint or acrylic paint to paint the entire surface of the box red (or another color you like).
2. Cut four small pieces of paper out of cardboard and dig holes. The spacing between the holes is the same as the spacing between the small holes on the carton in the previous step. Tie the rubber band to the piece of paper as shown, and then thread the rubber band from the inside out of the box.
3. Tighten the rubber band outside the box, then pass it through the round hole on the box through the small hole on the other side of the guitar, then tie it to the cardboard piece, and stick it to the surface of the guitar with hot melt glue , covering the string (rubber band) holes.
4. The guitar strings are done, and the next step is to make the handle. A small hole must be dug on the side of the box to insert the handle. Then, insert the PVC plastic pipe (spray painted black) through the small hole and fix it with hot melt glue.
5. Add some personalized decorations according to your own needs, and a DIY mini guitar is ready. Try playing a song.
Guitar production process
First: coloring and sealing The first step in the varnishing process is coloring. At PRS, coloring work is an art and a creation. Most colors are developed locally, each with its own unique pattern and process. PRS's coloring process is divided into single coloring, double coloring, and grinding, which emphasizes the inherent quality of PRS wood instead of covering it up or forcing the wood into a specific style. The wood determines the color and stain chosen. The purpose is to reflect the personality of the wood itself. Ultimately, the color of the painted surface cannot be like a mask, and craftsmen use a piece of cotton to apply color evenly on the wood. That piece of cloth is very important, because you need to apply enough color to the surface, but not too much. The coloring of the body veneer must ensure that the three-dimensional sense of the wood is reflected. This is the key to ensuring the success of other steps in the painting process. .
Second: Primer spraying and 220 polishing In PRS, there are different paint systems for different models. Including nitrocellulose paint, nitrocellulose exterior paint using polyester primer, and urethane exterior paint using nitrocellulose primer. This last system is the standard PRS paint finish which is often used as a demonstration process for PRS.
Third: Preparation The preparation table is the last step in the basecoat area of ??the spray painting hall. Here the guitar is well treated and prepared for topcoat spraying. The craftsmen will carefully check and mark any undercoat. Defects in the paint process and repaired.
Fourth: Topcoat spraying Topcoat spraying is the first step in the topcoat process. After the preparation process is completed, the guitar will enter the topcoat warming room. The painter will line up the guitars in the greenhouse, decide how they need to be painted (based on the stickers on the body pickup slots), and follow the instructions. If the guitar needs to be painted, this step will be done first. After the paint is complete the guitar will sit for 10 minutes and the tape and coverings will be removed except for the fretboard and the painter will watch the guitar to make sure the paint is not running onto the binding etc. If this happens, workers will scrape away these marks with a razor blade. The guitar will then be wet sanded and polished. and ready for final assembly.
The guitar is a stringed instrument that produces sound by plucking the strings on it. Its production process, from the selection of raw materials, to the production of speakers and necks, to painting, grinding, polishing, tuning and other aspects, is relatively strict.
1)? Production needs. Know how to use wisdom instead of blindness. We should use theory and practice to enrich technology, rather than relying on so-called theory. Be careful and patient, rather than impatient and angry. Pay attention to the problems that arise, rather than just ignore them.
2)? Good at using it. You must know how to ask yourself why you made a mistake in everything, so as to find out the root cause of the problem and the solution.
3)? To correctly understand the real guitar sound.
3)? Continuously conduct research and experiments.
4)? Rely on theory and technical humanistic design of guitar.
5)? Be open to all rivers, absorb the advantages of others, and at the same time see the shortcomings.
6)?Don’t make guitars for fame and fortune. Warning---Don’t make guitars for fame and fortune.
7)? Don’t always imitate, always imitate the producer, his life is the life of a miserable craftsman. Just like dry music has no vitality.
