Description
Jose Ramirez 1959 – a great sounding classical guitar, that has been built in the shop of José Ramirez. It has the great old Ramirez sound … an amazing guitar and a piece of history!
The Ramirez family is the most illustrious dynasty in the guitar world. The saga started around 1870 when José Ramirez I finished his education with Francisco González and set up his own workshop. José Ramirez II (1885-1957), continued to built guitars in the way his father did.
Many of the greatest guitarists, in both classical and flamenco, has played Ramirez instruments.
This guitar has a scale lengths of 650 mm and the nut width 51 mm. It is in original condition and very good condition for its age.
We’ve not seen many of that old guitars, that play so nice with a low action and a straight neck.
The sound is absolutely astounding. We did a small listening test and this guitar was compared in the same room with some more modern Spanish guitars. We were so much surprise when it was first played, it was every bit the equal in volume and projection as any of these modern ones and far more interesting to listen to in terms of colour and nuance.
The guitar has a great richness and harmonious quality. The notes blend together beautifully and yet maintain their clarity and separation. The sensation of playing the guitar is as it vibrates against the players body in a very deep way.
It has an incredibly powerful sound and sounds very much like what we know from Torres.
It comes with the original case.
