Guitares suhr User's Club

Mark n'est pas reparti avec John Suhr, au sens où aucun nouveau contrat ne les lie, mais comme John a longtemps fait les grattes de Knopfler, il sort un modèle identique, sans que ce soit vraiment un "modèle signature" faisant l'objet d'un contrat, comme Knopfler l'a actuellement avec Fender.

c'est dl'a merde

The Carve Top may end up being around 5% brighter, tighter and more brilliant overall, but it wouldn't take away the low-end response.

I may have posted this info before but I'll post it here again.

This is going to be a rough generalization, but if we broke down how each type of wood contributes to the overall tonality of the guitar, this is how it would come out:

Body back: 45%
Body top: 5%
Neck wood: 25%
Fingerboard: 25%

Yes, the neck contributes at least 50% of the overall acoustic tone of the instrument. John thinks it may even be a little more - perhaps another 5% or so but not anymore than that. Obviously, on a Carve Top, the thicker top will contribute more to the overall sound - perhaps around 10% with the body back being around 40%.

The thickness of the body and/or neck will also affect the mix as well. John also feels that Flame Maple top sounds a little more even and tighter than Quilted Maple, but we're probably splitting hairs at this point.
