Margo, I understand what you are sayng about the Ramsey. The neck on the student model is signicantly wider. My fingers are fairly long so I have no problem there and I found being that the neck is not as rounded as some of the traditional necks, it felt much more comfortable to work with. Different 'strokes' for different folks.

Dead Horse, I had a clear plastic head but changed mine to mylar because I felt so exposed. It reminded me of those See-Through Plastic Umbrellas that came down low covering a woman's chest they had in the 60's
