Re: Gimenez Guitars
That's like the worst parts of many guitars assembled into a collage of bullshit.

Re: Gimenez Guitars
With that name I thought it was going to be a nylon-string classical and was pleasantly surprised. I with the strings on the headstock were arranged like on a strat or a tele (I'd look neater) but otherwise, it looks great.

Re: Gimenez Guitars
agree, a modern twist but I would be concerned about that bridge, the large fanout of the strings seems unnecessary and looks like breakage points to me and its hard to imagine the gearing on those tuners, not much purchase for the fingersVince wrote:With that name I thought it was going to be a nylon-string classical and was pleasantly surprised.

Re: Gimenez Guitars
I prefer the tuning pegs to be on the opposite end of the guitar to my plucking hand.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Re: Gimenez Guitars
Having recently got a headless guitar it actually makes no difference, you pick the note, tune, pick the note, tune, I don't normally continue to pick while tuning to pitch, cause the attack changes the pitch any wayDelayman wrote:I prefer the tuning pegs to be on the opposite end of the guitar to my plucking hand.

Re: Gimenez Guitars
I would see it as a similar process to when I have to adjust the fine tuners on my Floyd guitars, every 3 or 4 years or so.jeremyb wrote:Having recently got a headless guitar it actually makes no difference, you pick the note, tune, pick the note, tune, I don't normally continue to pick while tuning to pitch, cause the attack changes the pitch any wayDelayman wrote:I prefer the tuning pegs to be on the opposite end of the guitar to my plucking hand.

Re: Gimenez Guitars
except fine tuners are very low geared, tuning a full tension string can't be easy on such a small diameter knob.
good question above though, is it better to tune the attack to be right, I was never sure whether the note was actually sharp when first plucked or is it just the tuner trying to sync itself in which then settles on a constant wave out of the randomness.
if you pick/strum harder should you tune to compensate? You can get some bloody horrible pitched sounds out of a light low e string if your too enthusiastic when playing

Re: Gimenez Guitars
I've been able to get full tension with a small diameter knob for years, without any difficulty.
Ok ok, shit joke but c'mon, it had to be made...
