jaggedsphere -> Luthiers in Ontario/Quebec (Mar. 3 2012 22:32:05)
|
Hey fellas,
A couple of questions, some ideas that could be corrected or expanded upon:
At some point I will likely sell my Ramirez 4e in order to invest in a negra(Still on the fence vs. blanca) I have it in my head that a blanca sounds very different to a negra. Is there a tradition where luthiers tend to use bracing patterns distinct to each?
Guitar luthiery is such science and art. I believe that with similar materials and identical design 2 guitars would sound nearly identical.(build quality identical of course) Change the recipe but use the same ingredients and you would have an instrument that differs in character.
It seems that there are so many contributing factors that can change a guitar tone. [8|]
I think I am better off casting the stone into the pond and letting the ripples flow as they may...[:)][:)]
My main question is is what are the known luthiers in my general area? I'd like to give my money to a hopeful luthier or an established one. Prefer to deal with people as opposed to stores... 12th fret in T.O. is super but somewhat far and is another middleman.
In fact, a number of years ago I bought a guitar kit. VERY bare bones. Nothing pre shaped or thicknessed<-is that even a word?! I would not mind having the prospective luthier use this wood.
