Relish Bloody Mary Wooden Frame Electric Guitar in Red


Revolutionary Specifications

The secret of Relish Guitars' unique sound and the extensive sustain lays in the combination of the materials and its construction. The bodies are a sandwich construction. The vibrance of the whole guitar is way different then on any other guitar construction.

Revolutionary Construction
Marys body consists of three layers. The middle layer, made out of alder, is separated from the front and the back by rubber rings. Due to this construction the middle layer can vibrate more freely.

I'd prefer a different color, but I'd def give it a spin.

"middle layer vibration" sounds like snake oil sales talk.

It's interesting, and I would try it out if I saw it in a store, but I'm not a big fan of the body shape.

Would with vigor.

I don't really like the shape. I wonder how the back is held in place, it seems a little bit of a pain in the ass to remove the back to change the strings.

 

[jelloman]

My innate Luddite sensibilities say I should hate that thing...I don't care much for the body proportions...

...but it looks really interesting, conceptually at least...

kind of like

It's not just snake oil, it's cumbersome too.

 

[PunkKitty]

Eh. Okay.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

The middle alder layer can vibrate more freely due to being separated from the outer layers by rubber rings? Sorry, but the engineer in me calls B.S. Rubber is used to dampen and isolate vibration, and as a result, is used quite often in engine mounts (both car and motorcycle) for that reason - to keep vibration away from other areas. I doubt the middle layer vibrates anywhere near as much as is claimed, and without this vibration being transmitted to other areas of the guitar, it isn't doing much to affect tonality IMO.

 

[Dudeman1967]

Unnecessarily complex.

No thanks.

Looks cool, but the vibrance BS is right up there with crystal lettuce.

Did someone say sandwich?

[Guitar Heel]

interesting idea.

it's refreshing to see new concepts like this.

I absolutely hate it.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

I find these Relish guitars strangely compelling.

 

[gtrjunior]

Relish?
Looks like ketchup to me.
Not for me. But I'd like to check it out.

 

[12Pack]

And here I thought Transformers were for cars.

 

[Flamencology]

I'd try it. Would be way hotter with single coils, though.

Bonus points for the absence of training wheels.
