Solid body
A solid- body musical instrument is a string instrument such as a guitar, bass or violin built without its normal sound box and relying on an electromagnetic pickup system to directly receive the vibrations of the strings.
Solid- body instruments are preferred in situations where acoustic feedback may otherwise be a problem and are inherently both less expensive to build and more rugged than acoustic electric instruments.
The most well- known solid body instruments are the electric guitar and electric bass.
These were instrumental in creating new genres of music such as rock and heavy metal.
Common woods used in the construction of solid body instruments are ash, alder, maple, mahogany, korina, spruce, rosewood, and ebony.
The first two make up the majority of solid body electric guitars.
Solid body instruments have some of the same features as acoustic string instruments.
Like a typical string instrument they have a neck with tuners for the strings, a bridge and a fingerboard( or fretboard).
The fretboard is a piece of wood placed on the top surface of the neck, extending from the head to the body.
The strings run above the fingerboard.
Some fingerboards have frets or bars which the strings are pressed against.
This allows musicians to stop the string in the same place.
Ebony, rosewood and maple are commonly used to make the fingerboard.
Some electric guitar necks do not have a separate piece of wood for the fingerboard surface.
All the solid bodies have variations in scale length or, the length of the strings from the nut to the bridge.
The action, or the height of the strings from the fingerboard, is adjustable on solid body instruments.
Most solid bodies have controls for volume and tone.
Some have an electronic preamplifier with equalization for low, middle, and high frequencies.
These are used to shape the sound along with the aid of the main amplifier.
Amplifiers allow solid body instruments to be heard at high volumes when desired.

Guitar bracing
Guitar bracing refers to the system of wooden struts which internally support and reinforce the soundboard and back of acoustic guitars.
Soundboard or top bracing transmits the forces exerted by the strings from the bridge to the rim.
The luthier faces the challenge of bracing the instrument to withstand the stress applied by the strings with minimal distortion, while permitting the top to respond as fully as possible to the tones generated by the strings.
Brace design contributes significantly to the type of sound a guitar will produce.
According to luthiers W. Cumpiano and J. Natelson," By varying brace design, each builder has sought to produce a sound that conformed to his concept of the ideal."
The back of the instrument is braced to help distribute the force exerted by the neck on the body, and to maintain the tonal responsiveness and structural integrity of the sound box.

The Last Train from Hiroshima
The Last Train From Hiroshima:
The Survivors Look Back and its revised second edition To Hell and Back:
The Last Train From Hiroshima is a book by American author Charles R. Pellegrino and published on January 19, 2010 by Henry Holt and Company that documents life in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the time immediately preceding, during and following the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Japan.
The story focuses on individuals such as Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a" hibakusha"( explosion- affected person) who was the only person confirmed by the government of Japan to have survived the" pika- don"( flash- bang) of both attacks.
The story of the impacts in Japan on the residents of the two targeted cities and of the response of the Japanese government to the attack is interwoven with details of the Americans who carried out the missions and their reactions to the damage they had wrought.
Pellegrino faced criticism from members of the 509th Composite Group, the unit created by the United States Army Air Forces tasked with operational deployment of the two nuclear weapons, for including extensive details provided by Joseph Fuoco, who falsely claimed to have been aboard the mission to Hiroshima as flight engineer as a last- minute substitute.
Questions were also raised about the existence of two characters described as survivors.
After further investigation, and amid questions of Pellegrino's academic qualifications, Henry Holt announced that it was suspending further publication of the book.
The book was re-released in 2015 under the title" To Hell and Back: The Last Train From Hiroshima".
