- Abstract
Musical instrument (electric solid body guitar) operates on the principle of mechanical vibration, which is transferred to the pick up that sends the signal to the amplifier that produces sound through the speakers (free space). For a good electric guitar sound, a good choice of pick-up and strings is not enough, but also the correct choice of materials for making the body and the neck, and of course the shape of both parts. The problem is in the acoustics of materials that have a decisive influence on the final sound image of a musical instrument. For the purpose of electric guitars production we researched the acoustic properties of the test subjects from Walnut wood (Juglans regia L.) and Ash wood (Fraxinus excelsior L.). At impulse transverse mechanical excitation we also determined the flexural rigidity and damping characteristics of the elements, and we set acoustic quality indicators.
