Strato Type “SILHOUETTE” Bracelet

In the late 1940s, Bigsby was the first to invent online tuners, as well as the treble clef headstock. His guitars didn’t go very far and the whole thing was then promptly “snatched” by Leo Fender for his Telecasters and Stratocasters a few years later. A design that appeared as a stylistic provocation back then and portended a clear change of direction in the design of the new solid body guitars. On the other hand, Gibson, as well as brands including PRS years later, remained on classic forms of headstock without ever giving up the two rows of tuners. Did they push innovation or was it stubborn tradition? Two market-tested philosophies that, fortunately, never managed to prevail over each other in a clear way. An electric guitar is like a dress, it must dress well and give the right voice to musical talent. For generations guitarists have ventured into various genres. Are you a Gibson guy or a Fender guy? The question as classic as it is obvious but never trivial, is the result of a choice of character. The “SILHOUETTE” series of NOTAMANIA bracelets helps to reaffirm this concept and one’s own personal direction over this ancestral debate.
