Summary
DescriptionElectric guitars.jpg |
This is a picture of two electric guitars.
At left is a Rosa Hurricane solid body, date and country of manufacture unknown. Two high-output humbuckers, conventional three-position pickup change switch, passive volume and tone controls, built to be played loud to extremely loud and dirty. Originally equipped with a Stratocaster style tremolo arm, this particular instrument has been converted to hard-tail ("blocked") which has improved tuning stability and provided even more sustain. This is an entry level student instrument, with good quality no-brand machine heads and pickups, and this example was originally sold with a major manufacturing defect... the body was set for a scale length of 25.5" but the neck was set for 24", which put the octave on the 13th fret, now corrected by the bridge modifications.
The body shape of the Rosa is one of several known as star. It possibly originated at Jackson Guitars and if so may be designed by Rob Cavestany, see http://www.jcguitars.com/stardeath.htm for some details and images. Washburn Guitars have from time to time produced a superficially similar star body, but with an extended lower horn at the tailpiece end, similar in this respect to the Gibson Flying V, and which favours the standing position for playing. On the other hand, despite its extreme looks the Rosa is an extremely playable shape both sitting and standing.
Rosa is probably a house brand of Australian musical instrument importer Rose Music.
At right is a 1969 Maton Freshman archtop. Two single pole pickups, similar passive electrics to the Rosa, built for low to moderate volumes and clean sounds. The Freshman is handmade, and is normally considered a low-end professional jazz guitar. No tremolo arm, but the open tailpiece responds particularly well to right-hand vibrato.
