The standard placement of this part of the guitar is generally symmetrical, with three strings on one side and three on the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Some guitars do not have a headstock, and others may have a straight headstock that goes along a horizontal line, such as the fretboard or neck; also, some heads have an angle between 3\u00ba and 25\u00ba in relation to the fingerboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Pegbox\"><\/span><strong>The Pegbox. <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A <strong>pegbox<\/strong> is a group of pegs located on the head of the guitar.<br \/>\nIt is the area located at the end of the fretboard where the strings are tied.

It is usually made of ebony or rosewood and is contains bars and frets. In acoustic or electric guitars, it usually has position markers that indicate the guitar&#8217;s notes, being in the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and two points in the 12th position that marks the octave of the strings in the air without pressing.<br \/>\nThis placement is done to more clearly visualize the notes while playing. The Spanish guitar does not have these points, and the 12th position coincides with the beginning of the guitar&#8217;s body.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fretboard has bars located perpendicularly to the fretboard, and they function as a separation between each musical note on the guitar. Therefore, these bars are called frets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These bars on acoustic, Spanish, and electric guitars are metallic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like other parts of the guitar, the bars can also wear out, causing the guitar to fret, and if this part is not in good condition, it can cause the guitar to sound out of tune.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Frets\"><\/span><strong>The Frets.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The Frets<\/strong> are small, thin metal crossbars inserted into the fretboard perpendicular to the guitar strings. There are different thicknesses and heights that each builder usually chooses based on their characteristics and tastes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The spaces between the bars are also called, in colloquial language, frets, although they are also called spaces or actions. These serve to define the musical notes and the distance from one fret to another, which can be in a descending or ascending direction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These gaps (frets) identify the zones or areas on which the guitarist&#8217;s hand will press the strings to obtain the note in question.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Truss_Rod\"><\/span><strong>The Truss Rod.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The truss rod<\/strong> is a steel rod that runs along the neck into the body of the guitar. It is a cylindrical bar whose function is to withstand the pressure of the strings when they are tensioned because if the neck did not have it, it would bend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Spanish guitar does not have this part because the pressure made by the nylon strings on the instrument is not as great as in acoustic or electric guitars, which are made of metal. However, high-quality Spanish guitars also usually have an ebony wood trim embedded in the neck that can help to strengthen it, but it is primarily a decorative marquetry element.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Heel\"><\/span><strong>The Heel. <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Heel<\/strong> The heel is the other end of the guitar;<br \/>\nIt is also called the neck, and it is the base where the guitar&#8217;s body connects with the neck. This <strong>part of the guitar<\/strong> is usually screwed or glued, depending on the manufacturer or type of guitar.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Body\"><\/span>The Body.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Body<\/strong> is the most significant part of the guitar; It has an upper cover called the soundboard, a back cover called a bottom deck, and side closures called ribs. The soundboard and back have a flat shape on many guitars but with a convex or wide domed curve shape on high-quality guitars. The back can be made of many types of wood, including Indian or Madagascar palo santo, mahogany, maple, walnut, or cypress for flamenco guitars. The top can include German spruce, cedar, Sitka spruce, or Engelmann spruce.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The guitar&#8217;s body facilitates the anchoring of the bridge and the neck and serves as a surface for the right hand where it will play.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Soundboard\"><\/span><strong>The Soundboard<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The soundboard has a perforation in the middle called the Sound Hole surrounded by an embellishment called the &#8220;rosette.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe soundboard, reinforced with a series of skinny wooden bars called &#8220;harmonic bars&#8221; glued to the inside of the lid.<br \/>\nThese braces are placed in many ways according to the tastes of each builder. The luthiers give particular importance to this element&#8217;s placement. Here we show 18 double crochet shapes from different builders throughout history, starting with those of the father of the Spanish guitar, Antonio de Torres.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5917\" style=\"width: 725px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5917\" class=\"wp-image-5917\" title=\"Harmonic bars placement of spanish guitar\" src=\"https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Harmonic-bars-placement-of-spanish-guitar.jpg\" alt=\"Harmonic bars placement of spanish guitar\" width=\"715\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Harmonic-bars-placement-of-spanish-guitar.jpg 885w, https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Harmonic-bars-placement-of-spanish-guitar-250x147.jpg 250w, https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Harmonic-bars-placement-of-spanish-guitar-650x382.jpg 650w, https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Harmonic-bars-placement-of-spanish-guitar-150x88.jpg 150w, https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Harmonic-bars-placement-of-spanish-guitar-768x451.jpg 768w, https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Harmonic-bars-placement-of-spanish-guitar-200x118.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5917\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harmonic bars placement<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">We can find the rings on the backplate of the guitar; these are two narrow and long pieces made of the same wood as the bottom.

When all of the guitar parts are complete, then it is varnished.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The varnishing process has two steps. The first is to apply the varnish by hand with shellac, and the second is to apply the varnish with a polyurethane-based spray gun that dries faster. After this application, a layer forms on the soundboard, which takes away sound.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then, the fingerboard is flattened, and the brass or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nickel_silver\">nickel silver<\/a> frets are placed. It is essential that the fretting is perfect because the guitar&#8217;s tuning depends on it, and finally, the strings and tuning pegs are positioned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many guitar models are available in the market, made with the best materials from the best brands; These can be for beginners or professionals, and there will always be one that suits the guitarist&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Strings\"><\/span>The Strings.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5922\" style=\"width: 409px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5922\" class=\"wp-image-5922\" title=\"Detail Guitar strings and pickguard\" src=\"https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/detail-guitar-strings-and-pickguard-250x167.jpg\" alt=\"detail guitar strings and pickguard\" width=\"399\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/detail-guitar-strings-and-pickguard-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/detail-guitar-strings-and-pickguard-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/detail-guitar-strings-and-pickguard-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/guitarrasgarridopozuelo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/detail-guitar-strings-and-pickguard.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Detail Guitar strings and pickguard<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The<strong> Strings<\/strong> are the essential part of the guitar; They are made of different materials, types, and brands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are six strings named according to the sound they produce.
