Turkowiak Guitars is known for pioneering groundbreaking innovations, and one of their most distinctive features is the Acoustic Tubes inside the neck. This patented technology is designed to enhance resonance, sustain, and tonal balance in ways that traditional neck construction cannot achieve.
What Are Acoustic Tubes?
The Acoustic Tubes System consists of hollow channels running through the guitar neck, with specially designed natural Baltic amber outlets. These tubes allow sound waves to travel more efficiently through the neck, interacting with the body’s resonance.
How Do Acoustic Tubes Improve the Guitar?
- Enhanced Sustain – The tubes reduce energy loss, ensuring that vibrations from the strings transfer more effectively, leading to longer note sustain.
- Increased Resonance – By allowing air movement within the neck, the system improves overall tonal richness and projection.
- Balanced Response – Reduces dead spots and evens out frequencies across the fretboard, providing a more consistent playing experience.
- Weight Optimization – The hollowed-out design keeps the neck lightweight without compromising strength or stability.
Why Turkowiak Uses Acoustic Tubes
Standard guitar necks often absorb some of the string’s energy, reducing sustain and resonance. By integrating Acoustic Tubes, Turkowiak ensures that more of the string’s vibration is transferred into the body, resulting in a more lively, responsive instrument.
When combined with other innovations like True Temperament fretting, chemically hardened Magnolia necks, and the S-Wave Resonator, this feature sets Turkowiak guitars apart as some of the most technologically advanced and musically responsive instruments available.
