Normandy Guitars – All Metal Guitars




Normandy Guitars, an independent American guitar manufacturer founded by Jim Normandy, features a brand of guitars you don’t normally see. While virtually all other guitar manufacturers, both large and small, create wood based guitars built overseas, Normandy guitars are made almost entirely out of high grade aircraft aluminum created right here in America. I found this creation to be especially interesting once I heard the guitar in action on some of the demo videos posted on their website (and also when I realized that I could use the term “All Metal Guitars” in my header). As Jim mentions while demonstrating, the guitar is not harsh in tone, but instead provides a clean, crisp sound.
It is obvious that Jim is not looking to take over America with his brand, but instead to carve out his own market for this specialized guitar. Aluminum guitars are not new, but this classic design in an age when crazy designs and paintjobs lead the pack (how many Dimebag tribute guitars can we have anyway?!), is definitely refreshing. This is a high end guitar with guitar ethusiasts in mind. It would seem to me that a full, polished, chrome guitar would be a match made in heaven for metal, certainly more original than your standard jet black flying V.

Gibson launches a self-tuning guitar


Gibson's new Robot Guitar goes on sale Friday. I want one, although the $2,500 price tag is a little steep.
But how does it work? After a guitarist selects a key, a computer embedded in the back of the guitar sends commands to the tailpiece and the bridge--the two pieces of steel toward the base of a guitar which, respectively, hold the strings in place and elevate them so they can be played. A guitarist then strums. The tailpiece and bridge monitor the vibrations and tension on the strings and send the information to a processor embedded in the peghead in neck of the guitar.
The neck CPU then turns the motorized tuning pegs accordingly. When the desired tension and vibration are achieved, it's tuned.
