Effect of temperature changes on the function of the electric guitar
The appearance of new materials and technology provides the modern and comprehensive approach to the process of constructing and designing new products. The process of constructing in the history was limited by choice of available materials and technologies which are able to make products. Modern approach to constructing can be applied in the development of a completely new product or in analysis and redesign of existing products. This paper analyzes design of electric guitar that dates back to the 50’s of the last century. It analyzes the basic function of the product. The primary function of the electric guitar is making a sound by vibrating of wires with predefined frequencies. Strings on the guitar require prestressing to produces sound of proper frequencies. The main lack of the existing design of the guitar, which is more than 60 years unchanged, is change of the preset frequency of strings with temperature change of the guitar parts. The change of temperature can stretch or shrink certain parts of the guitar including strings. Because of the different materials of the guitar neck and strings, shrinkage and stretching of the wires is not equal to the guitar neck. That causes a change in the tension of the wire, and hence the preset frequency. This paper analyzes change in frequency of strings depending on temperature change of parts of the guitar. Based on the analysis is proposed that the neck of the guitar should be manufactured from composite Verton UX03320 PPA. Temperature elongation of the proposed composite is equally to elongation of guitar strings. The newly proposed material can replace the maple tree that is commonly used for making the guitar neck.
