Guitare électrique 6 cordes du luthier suisse Patrick Hufschmid

Hufschmid Guitars H6EPublié le 11/05/18 à 13:04
Je possède une dizaine de guitares de marques connues comme Fender, Ibanez, Jackson, ESP mais l'idée d'une guitare haut de gamme fabriquée à la main par un artisan individuel m'a toujours travaillé.

Mon choix s'est porté sur une création du luthier suisse Patrick Hufschmid qui est basé dans le chablais vaudois juste à côté de Montreux. Je consulte régulièrement et avec beaucoup d'intérêt ses publications dans les réseaux sociaux, notamment sur sa page instagram dans laquelle il publie au quotidien l'avancement de son travail.

Je possède une dizaine de guitares de marques connues comme Fender, Ibanez, Jackson, ESP mais l'idée d'une guitare haut de gamme fabriquée à la main par un artisan individuel m'a toujours travaillé.

Mon choix s'est porté sur une création du luthier suisse Patrick Hufschmid qui est basé dans le chablais vaudois juste à côté de Montreux. Je consulte régulièrement et avec beaucoup d'intérêt ses publications dans les réseaux sociaux, notamment sur sa page instagram dans laquelle il publie au quotidien l'avancement de son travail.

J'ai reçu une réponse très sympathique et quasi immédiate à mon email et c'est sans surprise que j'ai immédiatement perçu cette grande passion qu'anime Patrick.
Patrick est un artisan très terre à terre qui à horreur des mythes et légendes au sujet de la lutherie dans le monde de la guitare électrique et j'ai été ravi de pouvoir discuter de pas mal de sujets qui restaient sans réponse à mes oreilles et auxquelles j'ai pu enfin apporter des réponses claires et concrètes!

J'ai donc décidé d'acquérir l'une de ses créations en février 2017, une 6 cordes,

-Table en érable flammé avec une teinture légère mais sombre
-Le corps ainsi que le manche en une pièce d'acajou sapele, sa signature
-Des micros Hufschmid fabriqués à la main pour moi et d'après mes spécifications (Patrick m'a posé pas mal de questions afin de bien cerner mes attentes sonores et je dois dire que le résultat dépasse toutes mes espérances car je voulais pouvoir jouer du métal mais également avoir recours à un son clair jazeux.)

Durant toute la période de réalisation, j'ai reçu une multitude de photos, environ 200 me montrant les étapes de construction, bref du caviar que de pouvoir contempler la naissance de ma future guitare, c'était pour moi une expérience complètement unique et je remercie Patrick pour toutes ces photos qui a du lui prendre un temps fou à produire.

La qualité de l'instrument finalisé dépasse toutes mes espérances, je pourrais passer des heures à parler de tous les détails qui caractérisent cette création mais celles qui m'ont le plus impressionné est le soin tout particulier qu'apporte Patrick au travail de frettage ainsi qu'à la finition de son travail de câblage! Non seulement les soudures sont parfaites mais Patrick ajoute sa petit patte signature, à savoir un recouvrement en carbone bleu à l'intérieur des cavités, un régal visuel qui ne s'offre qu'à celui qui aura un jour la chance de pouvoir ouvrir le capot! :D

Le manche a été réalisé d'après des photos de ma main gauche. Patrick utilise ces photos afin de régler au mieux le manche en accord avec les mains du guitariste. Le manche est en effet très agréable et offre une jouabilité parfaite d'autant que le vernis à base d'huile laisse une sensation satinée très agréable contrairement à certaines de mes guitares laquées qui semblent coller à la peau ce qui est parfois assez désagréable.

Bref, une magnifique création réalisée par un artisan passionné!

Incroyable

12" neck, slight bevel for the right arm to rest on while playing. Natural wood finish. 24"
The guitar is handmade in Switzerland by luthier Patrick Hufschmid.
The H6E is the basic model with a volume, tone and 3 way pickup selector. The volume knob is very sensitive and it is very easy to clean up the signal. I rarely use the tone know, but it is the same story there, very sensitive adjustments.
Pickups are handmade from Kent Armstrong him self, very clean sounding.
Hardware is hipshot products, can't remeber the exact specs, but it works just like it's supposed to.
Sapelli Mahogany neck and body, West African Ebony fretboad.

UTILIZATION

All frets are easy to access, cutouts are perfect. The bevel on top of the body makes a perfect resting place the your lower arm while playing. The guitar is nicely balanced while playing, just the right weight. The tone and volume knobs are very sensitive and give a wide range of adjustments.
The action is low, no stringbuzz. Adjustments to the guitar is self is also very easy if you need to do some work.

This is a guitar with an oil finish, not coats and coats of lacquer. This instrument breathes, it needs more care than some CNC'd 1/1000000 guitars that are out there. But with normal good care this instrument with last for generations.

SOUNDS

I use this with an crappy old Peavy 50 watt transistor amp, Line 6 HD500. I feel that I can play any typ of music with it. It's not a metal guitar, nor is it a Jazz guitar. To me it's a guitar that can be used for anything. As for the sound of the pickups they are bright, yet warm. And like stated earlier, very easy to adjust the sound/tone to get what you want.

OVERALL OPINION

This is by far the best guitar I've every played. It feels incredible, sounds amazing. I had never tried another Hufschmid guitar before I got my own. Simple reason, they are hard to get a hold of. They are made by order and there are not that many out in circulation. I've played other custom/non custom of most brands, but this just feels the best to me.

Next time I'm looking into buying a guitar, a Hufschmid will be on the very top of my list.
The value of this guitar is nothing short of amazing. It's quite basic in regards to what you get, but I need a guitar with a volume and tone know, pickup selector. That's it. I get that, just with 100% quality throughout the whole instrument.

Bastogne Walnut Hufschmid H6

Hufschmid Guitars H6EPublié le 25/06/14 à 15:00
contenu en anglais (contenu en anglais)
This guitar was made by Patrick Hufschmid in Switzerland. The body and neck is cut from Sapele Mahogany. The fretboard is West African Ebony and has 24 frets at a 25.5" scale. The 12-pole humbucker pickups are hand made by Kent Armstrong in Vermont. Patrick used a picture of my left (fretting) hand to carve the neck of this guitar. This makes the guitar insanely comfortable for me to play. There is one volume knob, one tone knob, and a three way pick up selector. The knobs are also made of West African Ebony.

The top is made from a rare, highly figured Bastogne Walnut. The top that Patrick and I selected is gorgeous. When sunlight hits the guitar, the natural grain in the wood comes to life and has a glowing, psychedelic looks to it. Whenever I take my guitar out of it's case at a gig, I instantly get people coming over to look at the guitar and ask questions about it. Patrick is a master luthier and artisan. The guitar is built flawlessly and also sounds amazing.


UTILIZATION

The neck was carved to my hand dimensions. I can access every note easily, the action is nice and low so I can play lots of notes with ease, sweep picking is now easier than ever. The pickups sound awesome with the wood combinations. They produce a clean, crisp, and warm tone. Between the three way pick-up selector and the tone knob, you can find any tone that you are looking for. Another bonus is the way the volume knob is set up. You can turn it back to a lower volume and your tone doesn't suffer in any way - it only gets quieter. This allows for great dynamics in my playing.

The guitar is ultra light. Patrick looks for tension in his wood choices instead of weight. This makes the guitar very comfortable to hold while gigging.


SOUNDS

The guitar sounds even better than it looks. Each note rings out clearly and fully. The guitar has amazing sustain. I primarily play lead guitar/psychedelic rock so I use a good amount of delay, chorus, overdrive, wah, volume pedal, among others. The guitar is extremely responsive to my pedals. I have actually found new ways to utilize my pedals due to the clarity of the tones I get from this guitar. I play through a Fender Twin Reverb, which also allows me to get great clean tone. When I play guitar solos or doing lead work, I will use my Maxon OD808 overdrive pedal. The combination of this guitar and pedal leaves me with a gorgeous tone for soaring but clear guitar solos.

OVERALL OPINION

I think I should start off this section by giving credit to the man who built this guitar - Patrick Hufschmid. Patrick is not only a master artisan/luthier, but a great guy to correspond with through the building process, which took about 2 months. He sends detailed emails of his daily progress building the guitar. I would wake up every morning to an email full of pictures and updates. He is very respectful to his customers. I really can't say enough about how positive my experience was with him. When you pair his customer support ethic with his masterful guitar building, you will not find a better experience in buying a high end guitar. In all honesty, I have nothing bad to say about my experience with Patrick.

I rate this guitar a 10 out of 10. If you are in the market for a high end guitar, look no further than Hufschmid Guitars. It is worth every penny!

C'est la deuxième guitare que j'ai acheté chez Patrick Hufschmid.

This is the second guitar I bought from Patrick Hufschmid. The specifications on it are a little bit different compared to the first one. Patrick built this guitar as a prototype to try a nut made of Techtron HPV© and his new headstock design which is I think is one of the best I have ever seen on a guitar. The guitar is based on his economy model H6E. As such it does not have a fancy top but still all the great specifications that make Patrick's guitars world-class.
A guitar is more than just the sum of its parts. The way everything is put together and the knowledge of the luthier make the difference. Patrick really surprised me with this guitar because although the specifications of it are rather different to my first one you can find a lot of similar core characteristics between both instruments. That alone speaks for his level of quality and attention.

Features:

-Handmade by Patrick Hufschmid from switzerland
-6 strings
-One piece very old premium Sapelli Mahogany body
-One piece very old premium Sapelli Mahogany neck
-Pauo Ferro fingerboard, 12" radius, 24 frets
-West African Ebony control knobs
-25.5'' scale
-Hipshot bridge
-Sperzel locking tuning machines
-Handmade Kent Armstrong pickups
-Tru-Oil finish on the neck and body
-No inlays
-1 volume pot, 1 tone pot, 3 way pickup switch
-Techtron HPV© nut

UTILIZATION

The body is very thin and light which helps for good balance and ergonomics. Its shape is Patrick’s
own superstrat style body. It matches the headstock perfectly and makes for a coherent look of the
guitar no matter from which perspective you look at it.
Due to an oversized cutaway it is very easy to access the higher frets. Although there are no
fretboard inlays I have no trouble to navigate due to the side dots.
The neck is shaped with just the right thickness for my hands and playing style. It is neither an ultrathin
Ibanez neck nor a Gibson baseball bat neck. The oil finish gives it a very fluid feel unlike some
sticky lacquer finished necks.
I tune the guitar one whole step down to D standard and use thick strings on it that match the guitar
very well in terms of string tension and overall playing feel. The Sperzel locking tuners and the
Hipshot bridge make it very easy to change strings. I prefer the action to be at medium height, not
super low which helps for clarity and gives a better feel to the notes in my opinion.
Adjusting the action, intonation as well as the truss rod is also very straight forward and intuitive.
The fixed hipshot bridge feels comfortable and solid under my right hand and yields a perfect picking
position with no disturbing parts like on a Floyd rose bridge.
The guitar comes with very simple electronics: one volume pot, one tone pot and a 3 way toggle
switch to select pickups. The sound won't get dark or muddy when you roll down the volume knob.
You can use it to get a variety of different tones.
The overall quality of the woods is just stunning. The grain on the mahogany is even more impressive
than one my first Hufschmid guitar.
The body and the neck is oil finished which gives the guitar an elegant look and high playing comfort.

SOUNDS

There are some things that I am looking for in a guitar: character, definition, vibrancy, dynamics and
midrange body. This guitar has all of this in spades. It perfectly sits in the context of a metal band
setting. You can clearly hear every note and it preserves the dynamics even under high gain. Further
there are no dead spots over the entire tonal range and it always stays defined even with lower
tuning and thick strings. Even unplugged you can hear the guitar ringing loud and clear with a good
focus on the midrange.
The guitar reacts very quickly and does not overemphasize the low end. Sometime you can get the
feeling that the guitar plays a note even before you thought about it. It is a very hones guitar.
Everything you put into it is perfectly reproduced.
Patrick created a guitar that has its own unique voicing that is nothing like I have heard before.
I play the guitar through a Diezel Hagen tube amplifier and BR Custom 3x12 cabinets which themselves have a very clear, defined and broad sound. This combination of equipment delivers the perfect sound for my bands.

OVERALL OPINION

I have my first Hufschmid guitar for almost a year now and did not experience any problems. The finish is very durable, the guitar stays in tune very well and the neck is still perfect. The overall construction and craftsmanship is on such a high level that I don’t fear to have any problems with it in the future. I always keep the guitar in a humidity controlled environment when it's not played.

Once again it was a very special to meet Patrick in person and pick up the guitar in the beautiful landscape of Aigle, Switzerland. Although the guitar was not build specifically for me there is nothing I would want to change about it. It is a work of art in its purest form.
The communication was fast and reliable as always. You get what you pay for in a reasonable time frame. There is no 2-3 years waiting list or anything like that that you can witness on some of the newly hyped luthiers out there.
I can definitely recommend considering Hufschmid guitars if you want to get a unique instrument with top-notch quality and sound.
