The story is full of great guitarists who we know and love, watch their work and learn to play on their music. In fact, create something from nothing, pulling out music from imagination and handing it to the world, yes so that the combinations of sounds never sounded earlier - this is a special kind of magic! And any musician will tell you that they would have lost without their favorite devices. It is possible that that, many cult guitarists throughout the career played on the same tool. Someone for the consideration of comfort and efficiency, while others are completely inseparable with their guitar and thereby we begin to associate the tools with their famous owners.

Vladimir Vysotsky

There are few people not only in our country, but abroad, whoever is familiar with the work of the Soviet Bard and actor Vladimir Vysotsky. In history, he entered due to a unique style of singing and texts with humorous street jargon under the seven-time guitar. The first famous tool Vysotsky acquired after the death of Alexei Wild (Soviet actor) at his wife and in his stories, it made it 150 years ago the Austrian Master. In consequence, Alexander Shulyakovsky made four or five guitars for him, the first with the head of the flavor in the form of a lira. In addition, Vladimir had a guitar with two griffs, which he really liked his unusual shape, although he did not use the second vulture.

Viktor Tsoi.

Another outstanding personality of the domestic culture of the 20th century is Viktor Tsoi. He is known as the author of songs and the founder of the rock band "Cinema". Victor received his first guitar from his mother as a gift - it was the twelve. It was on it that almost all the hits of the group were written and acoustic concerts were played. The next electric guitar appeared - a stratocaster brought from America. But seeing Kasparyan a white yamakhu, began to dream of the same and even tried to change with him. Soon, Tsiu managed to purchase White semi-bouquet of Washburn EA20, on which he played in the last years of life.

Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix (Jimi Hendrix) can be considered the greatest virtuoso guitarist of all time, since he was called a genius and a phenomenon during his lifetime. At one time, the living performances of Hendrque were among the best in the world, and to this day, many guitarists try to imitate him. Now everyone knows that Jimi was left-handed, but bought the right-handed tools, because mostly sold them only, and he knew how to turn the guitar, to achieve a unique sound. Perhaps his most famous became Fender Stratocaster, it was her arson at one of his concerts in 1967. From mid-19967 before January 1969, he used Gibson Flying V, which immediately after the acquisition painted psychedelic patterns and played only individual compositions on it. He also has acoustic - Martin D-45. The favorite electrical engineer was still a white fender Strat.

Kurt Cobain

American guitarist and vocalist Rock band Nirvana, Kurt Cobain (Kurt Donald Cobain) throughout the career of the group had a fair share of guitars, periodically smashing them, but only two models became loved by: Fender Jaguar and Mustang. And instead of choosing one, he made a collage of both, and according to his sketch, Fender created Jag-Stang, although it was rarely used. After the death of Kurt, she moved to Peter Buck (R.E.m.).

Angus Yang.

Unique Angus Young (Angus McKinnon Young), famous for his vigorous execution and uniform of a schoolboy in AC / DC, was only one model Gibson SG ("70 SG Standard - 1968). In the future, it was modified by Janang's order with Jaydee titled JayDee SG and highlighted in red with a lightning inlay on the jiff. Thanks to close cooperation with Gibson, the light saw the nominal electric guitar - Angus Young SG, where the pickups developed the Yang himself.

Richie Blackmore

Star of hard-rock and one of the founders of Deep Purple, Richie Blackmore (Richard Hugh Blackmore), who was remembered by many of his ability to mix guitar reefs with organ sounds, played Gibson ES-335 for a long time. But since 1968 began to use Fender Stratocaster, and when recording Fender Telecaster Thinline. In the 70s, the White Stratocaster Fender Olympic was served as the main guitar with a barisandrous and scalloped overlay, to whose grid head attached strencer.

Beatles

Finally, the Immortal Bitles (Beatles) and their outstanding guitars. Among the numerous tools of the Liverpool Four fans, the electric guitar John Lennon EpiPhone Casino is most memorable. However, it is revered in two different incarnations: many love it in the original status -1965 EpiPhone Casino in color Vintage Sunburst, others admire "Revolution-ERA", which appeared after some modifications (shabby housing). As you know, George Harrison had a addiction to Gretsch guitars, but associated with a 12-string 1963 Rickenbacker, presented by the owner of the company during a tour of the United States. Paul McCartney played on the Hofner 500/1 Bass guitar, as well as Epiphone Casino, Fender Esquire electric guitar and acoustic parties on EpiPhone Texan FT-79, since 1968 - Martin D-28.

As we were told in the museum, this guitar Victor bought in 1978 in the living room. At the time, it was one of the best guitar mumorgov on the windows of the Leningrad Guitar. Yes, and it cost almost the entire average salary of the Soviet citizen. To master the purchase, the future legend of Russian rock had to save money that he was allocated by parents for food. I look at the loss label on the guitar and I see almost elapsed inscription "Leningrad Factory of Plisk Musical Instruments. A. V. Lunacharsky. "

"Indeed, at the time, Leningrad guitars" Lunacarka "were famous not only in the USSR, but also abroad," the musicians and music masters confirm. And the secret of the success of those guitars was primarily in a competently built technological chain of the production process, seriously to the selection of materials and the enthusiasm of specialists. Did these guitars mainly of ate and birch plywood. Also used beech and maple. Especially appreciated wood from the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions.

"As for the guitar, which was Viktor Tsoi, then its high quality depended on the natural technological features," explains the hereditary guitar master Andrei Babichev. - To speed up the process of varnishing, the guitars were covered with a special varnish with just one layer. The peculiarity of the Soviet varnish (and the other was not) in the fact that it dried in a flat surface only under the condition, if the thickness of the coating was greater than the millimeter. "

As a result, almost all the "Lunacarian" guitars of that time were too much impregnated with this varnish, which, naturally, affected the quality of their sound. And only by 12 string models, the excessive mass of varnish was not scary due to the high tension, which was given 12 metal strings, swinging the deck.

According to the factory legend, the sample for such tools was the Spanish guitar of the famous musician Anders Segovia, who in 1927, with a friendly visit, stayed at the Leningrad Factory. He presented his tool to the masters (according to another version, they used the secret tool until the owner was distracted). The wizard along and across studied the overseas guitar, copied it from it, carefully studied measurements and the location of the springs. It is those copied patterns and served as the basis for the best domestic instruments, many of which are still alive.
