Upgrading Your Import Guitar With Faber® Guitar Parts

If you own an import guitar such as an Epiphone, Tokai, Burny or one of the many other import brands, you may be considering ways to improve it. These guitars are typical of very high standards and often sound and play great. However, many factories that produce these import Gibson style guitars reduce production costs by using sub-par materials for the guitars’ hardware.

Faber® USA provides high-quality replacement parts for Gibson style imported guitars. Your import guitar can now have some of the characteristics of a real vintage Gibson guitar.

Import guitars often come factory fitted with hardware made mostly from zinc alloy which reduces production cost but also compromises tone. High zinc alloy hardware will affect the guitars sustain and resonant tone.

Bridge

Faber® USA collection of guitar parts provides a range of bridge upgrades designed to improve the tone and sustain of any import guitar. Our bridge upgrades are made from aluminum alloy and will add a vintage look and feel to any guitar. Our bridges do not have the typical rattle inducing retainer wire and the saddles provide 100% mechanical contact in the ABR frame.

Our ABRM model bridge, from our ABR-59 line of bridges, is a direct “drop on” replacement for all import style bridges with 4mm mounting posts. No modification is required to make these bridges fit. We also offer our bridges with the optional upgrade of titanium saddles. Titanium saddles will provide a brighter tone, perfect for brightening up muddy pickups. If your guitar does not have 4mm bridge posts mounted directly into the top wood, see the section below titled, “Mounting Posts.”

Whereas the Faber® ABR-59 bridges are the non-locking type, Faber® also makes the locking Tone-Lock series, with our exclusive No Gap technology which further enhances contact between the bridge and posts and promotes vibration transfer and sustains.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class. However, there are students who do manage to find places off ca...

B12 Benefits While Pregnant

If you are pregnant, or trying to conceive, you know that taking folic acid is essential for the healthy development of your baby. But according to the World Health Organization, vitamin B12 is just as important in preventing neural tube and other neurological defects in infants and unfortunately as many as 1 in 20 adults is deficient in this essential vitamin. Vitamin B12 is important because "it helps keep the body's nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all cells," explains Peter Shaw, M.D., chief medical officer of pharmaceutical company Emisphere, which manufactures B12 supplements. "A deficiency is associated with increased risk for several adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mother and fetus. These risks include neural tube defects, intrauterine growth retardation, preeclampsia and early miscarriage," he says. Even more frighteningly, the neurological and developmental delays in babies that can be caused by ...
