ORIGINAL: britguy quote:
the slim and hand-friendly Ramirez neck Can you - or someone - advise if its possible to get actual dimensions of the Ramirez neck profile, should anyone wish to copy it? Theoretically i could try to make a paper or carton mould, but even when i succeed making one i would struggle to get it posted (no idea yet how to include other sources than youtube or www-links like photographs, sound recordings or transcriptions). On top, neck preferences are a very personal thing (al hands and wishes are different) so what feels fine to my father can be disliked by others. He choose that particular Ramirez because it's neck was 100% to his likings, but in the same way he disliked the (tapered) necks of several other Ramirez guitars others might not favor his favorite neck. Because all hands are build differently (size, shape and wiring) one can not always copy/use the original fingering of the masters, in the same way others might not be able to copy every solution you come up with.
