How To Handle Guitar Fals

Back again on my article, this time I will discuss about how to handle Fals guitars. The fals derived from the false word are expressed when the guitar or bass string tones do not conform to predefined standards.

The fals we mean are not an error condition in tuning or tuning strings, or because STELAN differs from standard in general (e.g. drop C, drop A, and so on). The fals we mean are the circumstances in which we have correctly tuning in each of the strings (evidenced by the precise tuning steps as well as the tone on the tuner), but the sound when plucked or digenjreng together is not the same as we expected.

Have you ever experienced it? When all the rules in the guitar tuning have been done correctly, but when playing the guitar, it turns out that the strings still produce inappropriate tones or sounds.

When that happens, then the thing to check is how is the condition of our guitar? Does the string distance from the bridge to the nut match? Many cases of such distances are too long or too short. This usually happens to electric guitars or electric bass which is indeed a bridge can be arranged.

Although it often occurs on electric guitars and electric bass, but in fact in some cases, it can also be experienced by acoustic guitars. Well in this opportunity, we will only fix the string distance error on an electric guitar or electric bass because if the acoustic guitar, it is quite rare especially on an acoustic guitar with a famous and original brand.

When the error occurs because of a string spacing error, the resulting sound between the strings does not match, whereas each string is properly tuning. If so, we have to prepare a screwdriver Plus (+) (screwdriver adapted to the needs) and also an ear that still concentrates hihi.

The step to check the inconsistency of string distances from bridges and nuts is quite simple. First we pluck the strings in free condition or without us pressing on each fret, we pluck without rotating the dryer. We listen to the tone, then we select the strings back but with the state pressing the string on column 12 or in the colon. The sound generated from the strings when free has to match the strings when pressed on the 12th column.

When it is not true, we make saddle adjustments on the bridge or tremolo. Many cases occur because the spacing of strings is too long, then we simply loosen the bolts in the saddle, when it is too short, then we tighten the bolts on the saddle. Do this until the strings can be heard or pitched when the center is free and when the middle presses column 12.  Perform the steps on each string.

Don't forget before doing the above steps, try the string in a not too strict state, this is to avoid the occurrence of the string. The end of the word hopefully useful and see you.
