Description

This José Ramirez 1A from 1966 is an extraordinary classical guitar, showcasing the finest craftsmanship and rich tonal character that have made Ramirez guitars legendary.

The Ramirez family has been crafting exceptional guitars since 1882, earning a place among the most respected luthiers in the world. Their instruments have been played by some of the greatest classical guitarists, including Julian Bream, Andrés Segovia, Laurindo Almeida, Oscar Ghiglia, and José Luis González. The 1A model, introduced in 1957, quickly became the gold standard for concert guitars, reflecting the brand’s dedication to innovation and quality. José Ramirez III was a pioneer in using cedar for guitar tops, a choice that revolutionized classical guitar tone and was favored by Segovia himself.

This 1966 José Ramirez 1A features a beautiful cedar soundboard with a warm, light-orange hue, paired with fine rosewood for the back and sides. The result is a rich, resonant tone with deep basses, lyrical trebles, and outstanding projection. The guitar is incredibly responsive, with a nuanced dynamic range that brings out every subtle expression in the player’s touch. The action at the 12th fret is set for optimal balance between comfort and playability, making it an excellent choice for both solo and ensemble performances. With a 664 mm scale length and 54 mm nut width, it offers a traditional feel, ensuring effortless left-hand technique and precision.

This guitar has been well cared for over the years and remains in great condition for its age, showing only the expected signs of play and natural aging.. In the 1960s, Ramirez began exploring the use of cedar for guitar tops, marking a significant shift in classical guitar construction. This instrument is an early example of that innovation. Unlike later models from the late ’60s, it does not feature a maker’s stamp at the heel—a detail that was not yet a standard practice at the time.

A true masterpiece, this 1966 José Ramirez 1A is an exceptional instrument for collectors and musicians alike, offering an inspiring combination of history, craftsmanship, and world-class sound.
