Description
José Ramirez flamenco guitar from 1963 – the crème de la crème from Ramirez’ golden era. This guitar has been constructed by Ignacio Manzano Rozas (I.M.), who was an outstanding luthier in the Ramirez shop.
There is not much to say about the name Ramirez … this family of luthiers has formed the history of guitar making like no one else.
For more than 100 years they have been producing world-class guitars.
This guitar comes from the so-called golden age of Ramirez. In the 60’s, when Jose Ramirez III revolutionized the body shape and inner construction of the guitar, these wonderful instruments were built.
This guitar has a scale length of 656 mm and a nut width of 52 mm. It has cypress back and sides and a nice spruce top.
This guitar has the great flamenco sound known from the old recordings of the great master Sabicas.
It has a great volume and offers besides the loud tone an enormous warmth. The basses are absolutely fantastic and come with a vintage warmth. The trebles are clear and distinguished. The guitar unfolds the most beautiful timbres in every single tone and inspires in all areas.
It plays very easy, with a low action, a straight neck and a perfect setting. If the guitar could speak, it would certainly be able to tell about many special evenings in the tablao’s and stages in different cities in Spain. This guitar was definitely played a lot.
It is in surprisingly good condition, but has light signs of restoration work, which has been professionally done.
It comes with the original case.
