1 Teaching STEM Through Electric Guitar Design Molly Reich and Gary Mahoney

2 Goals of this presentation: Electric Guitar History Critical Design Considerations Electric Guitar Designing with CAD Electric Guitar Production

3 Fender Telecaster Tele First electric guitar to be industrially manufactured Solid body Available with 1 or 2 single coil pickups Dual are most common Produced since 1950s

4 Gibson Les Paul Designed by Ted McCarthy Endorser by Les Paul Produced since 1952 Maple and Mahogany construction Humbucker pickups

5 Fender Stratocaster Strat Fender s second big success Three single coil pickups Produced since 1954

6 Gibson SG Designed by Ted McCarthy Introduced in the early 60 s Lighter Body Solid Mahogany construction P90 or Humbucker pickups

7 PRS Designed by Paul Reed Smith Produced since 1985 Maple and Mahogany construction Humbucker pickups

8 Others

9 Understanding some design physics Vibrating string length Fret locations Pickups Types of bridges Wood Nut size String spacing String break angle

10 Scale Length (Vibrating String Length) Martin Guitars Gibson Fender 25.5 PRS 25

11 Calculating Fretting positions 12th root of F Hz F# Hz G Hz / = Rule of A Hz A# Hz B Hz C Hz C# Hz D Hz D# Hz E Hz F Hz F# Hz G Hz G# Hz A Hz

12 Calculating Frets

13 Pickups Fixed distances Neck and Bridge

14 Single Coil Pickup 6 Permanent Magnets Copper coil 42 gauge (.063mm) most common Thousands of windings 7 10K typical Produces a bright, clear sound

15 Humbucker pickup Two coils Wired in series Single magnet Coils become poles Coils are wound opposing String current is additive Noise is canceled Produces a darker, bassier sound

16 Volume and Tone Volume and Tone Control Connected in Parallel Tone Control Treble bleed tone control Pot with Capacitor Capacitor functions as a high frequency resistor
