A good instrument is one that once you strum it, you’ll feel the vibrations going from one side all the way through to your hands and back.
The end result is what the pickups will pick from those vibrations, therefore, if the vibrations are incorrect or intersect with each other, you’ll get a shitty sounding instrument. Each wood has its way of picking up the vibrations from the strings and transmitting it back to them and then back to the rest of the components. It has nothing to do with the pickups yet, that is just pure physics. It’s a “closed circuit”, each string has its own amplitude frequency and the guitar components must react to that amplitude, for instance, if the neck is too strong and has no flexibility, you will end up with wrong overtones or non at all. This Kraut quashes the competition every time.Before we dive into it: Does wood make a difference in an electric guitar? Let’s put it this way, If you take a Lamborghini engine and put it inside (let’s say) a Ford Fiesta, it will not be a Lambo, right?! The guitar body and neck is the chassis for the pickups, yes, each pickup has it’s own tonal characteristics, but that chassis will make the pickups behave in a certain way. The way Ray voiced this 00? The latter camp.Įvery detail smacks of perfection, from Alessi tuners to Alder Burl rosette. Lots of guitars you can whale on them and get good projection, but only a few will give up serious volume with even a light touch. This 00 balances some hefty overtones with excellent note definition and separation, and an energetic response to even a light touch. Ray paired all that flair with a creamy European Spruce top that rich cream counts for both the tight-packed grain lines and its creamy bass response. Those Pale Moons are dancing all across this 00, from the back and sides to the bridge, fretboard, headstock-even the fretboard binding. How about Pale Moon Ebony? Regular old Mahogany just doesn’t look the same after laying your eyes on this beauty. Diospyrous Malabar is the name of the game. It’s challenging to know what to do with this Kraut: it’s a 50/50 toss up between indulging its luscious voice or remarking upon its striking visual flair.
Thus rang the lover's glowing lay, Till the pale moon's bright reign was o'er. 00 #091 from Ray Kraut stands head and shoulders above the crowd. the greens with ebony wood, in warm water and chemic blue.
