From Little Dog to Dingo – CorsaGuitars.com

I’ve always been about tone. Always. Or, to be more precise, when I first heard Peter Green’s out of phase tone about 50 years ago. Wow, never thought about it in those terms, but that really makes me feel old!
I talk about my quest for the tone in another blog post, so I’m not going to repeat it here. What I do want to talk about is the evolution of Corsa Guitars.
Very simply, since tone is the name of the game for me, when I discover better guitar tone and find a platform to deliver that tone at a reduced cost, it makes no sense to me to look backward. This post will be my attempt to convey what I have learned and why I am going in this new direction.
It may seem corny, but this whole new project started to take shape in my mind after watching a video about Peter Green’s guitar collection. At one point he talks about one pickup guitars. He doesn’t articulate his feeling about it in a very precisely thought out way, but I think that’s because it is not easy for him to explain it. But, it’s very “Peter Green!” Have a look at the section from the video and you will understand. Or not!

Green Strings: Are Eco-Friendly Guitar Strings a Thing Yet?

  For guitarists, string changes are a regular ritual. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional musician, chances are you’ve gone through dozens—maybe hundreds—of sets over the years. But while we might lovingly preserve our instruments, upgrade our guitar bridge for better sustain, or treasure a vintage guitar tailpiece, our discarded strings usually end up in the trash. It’s an environmental blind spot. Strings are small, seemingly insignificant—but multiply that by millions of musicians worldwide, and the waste starts to add up.
