The Genthry
electric guitar is considered modern classic electric guitar. The sounds it
produced open up exciting new possibilities to aspiring musicians. Compared to
hollow-bodied and bolt on, the solid body created a new sound that increased
sustain and produced a brilliant tone. It also eliminated interference caused
by the vibrating top of hollow-bodied electric guitars and lost of wood tone
from bolt on guitars. Mahogany was chosen for the construction of the body
because it is dense, yet relatively light. Maple was used as a top cap in quite
a few of the models, as this best combination of wood for electric guitars that
have define the Rock and Roll and many other genres for the sound of electric
guitar.
The neck of every model is constructed of mahogany in the Slim Neck profile that so many musicians have come to love.Our Necks are all one piece wood neck with no scarf joints. Genthry reinforces the connection between the neck and body by using the Mortis and Tenon joint, which is said to be stronger than if it were a single slab of wood. All Genthry guitars is approximately 24 3/4″ scale. Genthry uses luthier glue to form a solid connection at the Mortis and Tenon joint, and uses extremely accurate measuring devices to make sure the angles are within .005″ tolerance. The fingerboard is made of rosewood and consists of 22 alloy wire frets. The markers are inlaid on fingerboard for a nice guiding and visual appearence. Sc Standard models are even tweaked by hand at the end of production so that there is a slight angle near the top of the neck and body. This gives the musician a more comfortable feel and increased playability on the Standard models and also the increase sustain in playing.
The Genthry electrics are finished with a special thin finish process that increases output clarity with a “natural resonance”, according to Genthry. Not only is the finish conducive to superior sound, it brings out the luster in the deepest grains of the maple top. It is considered one of the most durable and classic guitar finishes in the industry, usually enhanced by various sunburst color patterns for visual appeal.
The standard body design on models includes an arched top and a non chambered back to add resonance. The Single Cutaway of the treble side, where the neck joint meets the body,increases playability tremendously and decreases weight. The body weighs just under 7 lbs before it is fitted with necessary hardware.
The hardware of the adds to it’s elegance and durability with Modern Keystone tuners, black/white vinyl truss rod, aluminum strap buttons, raised pickguard, bell knobs, and the thin post tune-omatic bridge and stop tailpiece like the ABR 1 bridge usually found in high end guitars. Our choice of Bridge Hardware allow for maximum tone performace and transfer of vibration and resonance for the guitar's wood to the pickup for the best tones.
Pickups used in most Genthry electric guitars are double coil humbuckers, which were first introduced in the 1960′s to eliminate interference and hum. These humbuckers produce a sound that is very unique and intense, becoming the driving force behind the evolution of rock music. Powerful humbucker magnets are left uncovered in some models, which results in a higher output. Optional P-90 single coil pickup are available on certain few reissue models. The pickups can be raised or lowered easily with a screwdriver, and string volume can be controlled with the pole piece screws. If the pickup is raised closer to the strings, one can expect to have more punch and sound output due to the power of the magnet.
Most Genthry electrics have two pickups. The volume and tone for these pickups are controlled by four knobs on the top of the guitar. A pickup selector switch is built in to allow total control over pickups at flick of the finger. The 2 volume knobs are located near the fingerboard, with the one nearest the bridge controlling the neck pickup. The tone control knobs are located further from the fingerboard, with the one nearest the bridge controlling the neck pickup. Increased bass is achieved by reducing the treble on the tone controls, rather than increasing bass only. When turned to full treble, the guitar’s full tonal spectrum will be available with clear sounding high notes. The pickup selector switch can be moved toward the neck to enable the neck pickup only, and toward the bridge to enable the bridge pickup only. Leaving the switch in the middle position will enable both pickups. The tone and volume controls will shut off if a pickup is not activated.
The tune-o-matic bridge is standard on every model, and allow for easy adjustment of the bridge by adjusting a pair of nuts with a screwdriver. Fret buzz can be avoided on models by keeping the bridge raised. String action, Intonation and Neck Bow adjustment are all featured and available in Genthry Guitars for your preferred playability and own setup preference.
The most important appealing feature of the Genthry electric guitars is the quality hand craftsmanship that makes each guitar custom-like and unique. All Genthry model are quality built and crafted. The veteran guitar builders take pride in testing each and every guitar before it leaves the factory. Using time intensive techniques such as body binding, constant sanding, and multiple coat finishing processes gives these guitars a look and feel that can be found in any Custom Shop factory made guitar. The maple and mahogany wood goes through a drying and monitoring process to ensure it is kept at low humidity throughout the production process. Our luthier are committed to making each guitar crafted and assembled and painted well. Maple top. Mahogany body. Rosewood fretboard with trapezoidal inlays. Tune-o-matic bridge for perfect intonation and tone trasnfer. A pair of Genthry pickups for lots of warm meaty bite with a high enough output to push a tube amp into nice, natural distortion. All for you to play and enjoy music.
Genthry retain 2 important things for the purist, a non chambered weight relief body and slim neck profile. The non chambered body makes the guitar a solid built with great resonance and without compromising tone in the slightest. The slim neck profile is also a win. It still has the solid, meaty feel of a Genthry neck, but without the finger strain when playing solos high on the neck. Genthry pickups are great, with high enough output to keep the heaviest shredder happy without sacrificing that great classic Genthry tone and they sing and react to subtle changes in pick attack or tweaks on the guitar’s control.
Genthry SC Standard result is a great mix of classic looks with subtle, modern touches which make for a great player’s guitar and a fantastic instrument which could hold its own on any professionals guitar rack. Each piece made result like a custom shop piece.
