New model from Ramirez!

Yong

Ramirez just recently made a new model GH which is the re-issue model that the famous George Harrison of Beatles used in 1964. It's a all-solid woods(Europen Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back & sides) studio model. Retail around USD$3500. Take a look! http://www.12fret.com/new/ramirez_GH_model_guitar.html

I don't think it's head is nice. I don't like it's bridge.........Maybe,it has a good sound.

It's a very ugly guitar... .. .

Come on people! A good guitar has nothing to do with the outlook. I agreed the headstock look weird but they rounded the both sides of the bridge to lighter it. I am sure it has something to do with the sound.. Maybe some of our members here who involved with guitar-making can tell us more about this.

The shape of the bridge, to some extent, has nothing to do with the sound. I think it is just a kind of style, or say differentiator for the outlook. Actually, we can see from inside of the sound board, many different shapes of the bridge reinforcement plates. Do they affect sounds? No, they are reinforcements. Key usage is to keep strength of the sound board. Some say that the thickness of that part affects sound, but in a reasonable range, the difference is quite slight. So does the bridge. ------Personal thinking.

THanks ywei for your information.

I agree ywei's point, the point would be reasonable but mistrious, the construction of a building is difficult when you look at it, but the reason is pretty much clear and obvious. To me, there could be many reasons when next time you see a different pattern on a single guitar, there are three good reasons if you are a luthier, 1. To make it stroger.(The strength.) 2. To make it looks better and distinguishable.(The art.) 3. To improve the sound.

制作吉他是门很深奥的艺术. 对吉他制作家来说就如艺术家作画一样, 外在与内在都要兼备. 而这两点也因不同的制作家而定, 个人口味问题. 不知各位赞同我的说法吗?
