Carbon Fiber is the New Black

Finished Carbon Fiber Guitars with Veneer Finish

Emerald Guitars are hand made at the factory located in Donegal Ireland, not far from the banks of the River Foyle. They are made from a carbon fiber composite material that makes them very hardy instruments that remain in tune and have great playability in a variety of environments that are hard on traditional wood guitars.

What is carbon fiber material and why is it good for making guitars?

WHAT IS CARBON FIBER?

  • Very strong
  • Ultra lightweight
  • Modern, high-tech look
  • The next generation luxury material
  • Used in really cool applications like exotic cars (Ferrari, Lamborghini), NASA/Aerospace, high-end sporting equipment, yachts and more.

People often wonder what carbon fiber is, and its increased use in automobile and airplane construction have made them sit-up and take notice. It is not difficult to understand what carbon fiber is and why it is highly valued as a favorite of luxury designers. Simply put, carbon fiber is a super-strong fabric that’s used to make diverse products, where light-weight, strength and modern looks are valued. Some examples would be Formula One, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, yachts, MotoGP, and even items from luxury brands such as Chanel, Gucci, Montblanc and more.

Carbon fiber’s weight-to-strength ratio is astonishing, especially when you consider its formidable strength. It is stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum. The strongest carbon fiber is five times stronger than steel. The fact that it is lightweight and strong makes carbon fiber an excellent choice for producing vehicles such as cars, planes, and boats. Low weight reduces friction, increases speed, and decreases fuel consumption, this is good for both consumers and the environment. Carbon fiber also has other valuable qualities; It resists corrosion, is both moisture and heat stable and has super energy absorption. Its sleek appearance and unique woven texture gives it a feeling of timeless luxury, as Carbon Fiber is the New Black™.

The key to carbon fiber’s properties is its unique microscopic crystalline structure. It is composed mostly of carbon atoms that are bound together in microscopic crystals which are linearly aligned and parallel to the long axis of the fibers. When carbon fiber is produced, thousands of thin strands of carbon are twisted together to form a yarn. This yarn is then woven into a flexible fabric that can be molded into many different shapes. To give you an idea of just how lean carbon fiber is, a single strand has a diameter of 0.005-0.010 mm, less than a human hair.

Carbon fiber’s unique properties, durability, and luxe looks make carbon fiber lifestyle products and accessories an excellent choice for any occasion. It’s a luxury you can’t afford to miss.

Emerald Guitars are produced predominantly using various types of high grade carbon fibre bonded together in a matrix of epoxy resin but they also use other structural core materials sandwiched between the carbon layers to create a very lightweight and rigid structure.

Other materials such as glass fibres and Kevlar can also be used from time to time to create various tonal properties depending on what we are trying to achieve in a specific guitar.

The great thing about composite guitar construction is that we have a broad pallet of materials which we can use in various different quantities and layers in the guitar to create many very different tonal properties yet once we create a desired layup for a guitar we can then easily repeat it to give great consistency from guitar to guitar

To get the more classic or traditional look of a guitar, a thin veneer of some select woods are applied to the carbon fiber body allowing these beautiful renditions in Koa, Cocobolo, Quilted Maple, American Redwood and many others.

      Thanks for viewing and commenting. I built the website with WordPress and use “DIVI” for my theme. DIVI is a paid service provider of the tools to build websites on the WordPress platform. It is still very much a learning process for me.

    Undeniably believe that which you stated.

    Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the
    easiest factor to understand of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same
    time as folks think about issues that they plainly don’t
    realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without
    having side effect , other folks could take a signal.

    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

    you are able to remove me from that service?

      My apologies for this inconvenience as I did not realize this was even a thing that happened. I tried linking to feeds.osce,org but it would not connect. I will research this and make sure it is not still happening. If you see this reply, please comment back so I can continue to research the problem.

      Thanks for viewing and commenting. While many of the comments I receive do not seem legit, just posts to promote something rather sketchy, I was able to follow your message to the James Keen website for Architecture Photography. As you probably noticed on my website, this is an area of interest to me as well. Best of luck in expanding your business.

    I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering problems with your
    blog. It appears as if some of the text within your content are running off the screen.
    Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening
    to them as well? This may be a problem with my web browser because I’ve had this
    happen previously. Many thanks

      I would welcome any additional feedback on this issue. I am not an experienced web developer, but I continue to try and improve the performance of my site. I built the site in WordPress using the theme from “DIVI”. I am working on updates currently.
