Hardware...

AV Guitars are equipped with various hardware.

You can find AV Guitars, Gotoh, Schaller, Hipshot, Kahler hardware on AV Guitars instruments. Chrome, black, Gold or Cosmo black are commonly used colours of hardware.

As a special option is available Kahler tremolo. I have also designed special bridges and string holders made from ebony and wenge. It is possible to add metal parts into these bridges. The wooden bridges are made with a built-in piezo. It is also possible to set the intonation, string height and string spacing. They look very simple, but they are very important for the sound. An instrument equipped with a brass or bronze bridge plays clearly with long sustain, while an aluminium or steel bridge brings clarity to the treble range. Wooden bridges are definitely softer and long sustain is saved, while the sound is not as aggressive as it is with bridges that have metal parts in them.
