Jose Ramirez 140 Years Spruce Classical Guitar
Jose Ramirez 140 Years Spruce Classical Guitar
Some guitars are chosen for their materials; others for the history behind their name. With Jose Ramirez, the two belong together. More than 140 years of Spanish guitar making and five generations of a family tradition provide the background to an instrument made for the music you want to play today.
Spruce brings a clear, direct and bright tonal character. The solid top is paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides. It is a combination for players looking for an instrument with its own identity, whether working patiently through a demanding piece or returning to a favourite melody simply for the pleasure of playing.
The full classical body preserves the familiar outline of the Spanish guitar. It invites advanced students and committed players to spend time with their sound: shaping a phrase, balancing melody and accompaniment, and developing an interpretation that feels their own.
An ebony fingerboard and 650 mm scale are complemented by a cedar neck, Indian rosewood bridge and polyurethane finish. Designed by Ramirez and made in Spain, the guitar is checked and adjusted at the Ramirez workshop before distribution.
For amplified playing, choose from the electronics options listed on this page; the version without electronics keeps the instrument purely acoustic. A Ramirez to accompany serious practice, new musical ideas and the everyday pleasure of getting to know a guitar. Guitar case included.
