Customer Guitars built by Jose Ramos
This guitar was built in 2006 for Eduardo Rincón. The main aspect of this guitar is how many frets Eduardo wanted; 29 frets and 7 strings, for which we had to build a special scale to keep the higher frets from getting too small to use. The neck is made of 5 pieces and crosses the body of the guitar (neck-thru). The body is made of Etimoe. Hardware includes a Floyd Rose Original bridge and one EMG 707 pickup.
This other guitar, built to look like a spider, is from 2007. The original shape came from a picture of a BC Rich bass guitar. All the measures had to be scaled from a photograph in A4 format, which meant very hard and precise work. The woods used are mahogany of rthe body and maple (2 pieces) for the neck (neck-thru), An EMG 85 pickup was used in neck position, and an EMG 81 in the bridge. It also features an original Floyd Rose System.
This instrument was built for Raúl Quiles in 2004. Just like the guitar above, we started from an A4 picture and built from there. It is a copy of the Jackson Dave Mustaine (Y2KV). We used mahogany for the body and maple for the neck, which is glued, made of 3 pieces to better the stablity of the original. The fretboard is made of ebony, with mother of pearl shark-fins inlays. It features a tunomatic bridge with body-thru strings. DiiMarzio Paf Pro pickups.
