Doog -> RE: The importance of a guitar's label (Dec. 10 2007 16:47:53)

quote:
ORIGINAL: Javier Thank you ChiyoDad, but that's not what I am referring to. I'm not talking about the name on the label, but rather, the aesthetic qualities of the label. For example, different makers use different fonts. Some put their address, some don't. Some put their phone number, others do not. Some put the country of origin, some assume you know the country of origin based on the address on the label. The reason I bring this up is that I noticed a Francisco Navarro García label with the words, "Made in Mexico" on it. I found it rather distasteful to put the country of origin when he has his address on it as well (Paracho, Mich, Mexico). I also found it distasteful that it is written in English. I think it should say "Hecho en México." I've seen a few Spanish guitars that have "Made in Spain", written in English, on the label, and that is always a turn-off for me. The label on Loriente guitars is trying too hard to look old-world rustic, and comes off as cartoony. Whoa, you do not seem to be that interested in guitars, but rather in how well the labels fit your seemingly narrow criteria for "label aesthetics". If you cannot find a label that suits you, maybe you should consider a ukelele or a piano. Doog
