I was just wondering the other day; if so much emphasis is on the kind of wood you us on the top and how the guitar builder shapes it into the perfect thinness, and then he applies the tiniest layer of nitro laquer or whatever. Just to receive the optimal vibration, responsiveness and sound and then just, in the end glue a huge plastic slate on the top..

Somehow sounds weird.. so how does that work?

When I bought my Gerundino, it had very thick golpeadores which were peeling. Nevertheless it sounded fantastic.

I removed the golpeadores and for curiosity, tried the guitar with bare wood. it sounded a little better.

I then applied thin glpeadores and tried again. The loss in sound was minimal. The gain in protection against golpes was enormous.

Golpeadores are there for a reason.

Golpeadores are at least stiff and flexible like wood itself. Now those nerds that protect their French polish by putting a cloth bag around the guitar when playing it, THAT is mind boggling to me.

It's the cost of doing business I guess. You can minimize it by doing a two-piece, or even just one on the treble side.
You could probably say the same thing about the finish but I actually think a good finish improves the sound of a guitar. I play all my guitars with and without finish and "in the white" they're a little too bright and noisy. The finish helps focus the sound.



estebanana -> RE: On the golpadore (Jul. 28 2017 0:35:08)

The finish dampens out excessive overtone activity. Some high partial notes drop out of being up front and the guitar seems more focused.

If you had sensitive hearing like a dog, you could hear the he same happening with the tap plate. It's really a few grams distributed over a wide area so it has little effect.

thanks and learned something again :-)



gimmeagig -> RE: On the golpadore (Jul. 28 2017 9:49:29)

where can I purchase a clear golpe plate? I have done a search online and nothing turns up.

If you want self-adhesive, I would stay away from the 3M ones. The ones from LMI are good, item PGTPLF below:
