Amalio Burguet LA BURGUET 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.

The Ramirez Guitarra Del Tiempo is a commemorative guitar designed to celebrate the 135th birthday of the founding of Guitarras Ramirez in 1882. José Ramírez I started building his sublime Spanish instruments at the end of the 19th century and his craftsmanship has been passed down through each generation of the Ramirez family with the very same passion and pursuit for perfection. This limited-edition guitar replaces the model 130 años and every now and again will have some changes in the design, whilst preserving its natural sound and spirit. This is why it is called Guitarra Del Tiempo: it will travel in time and evolve as each significant  anniversary is celebrated. The shape of the Guitarra Del Tiempo, dimensions and internal bracing are the same as those used to build the model 130 años, but with a more advanced construction and a different rosette which was especially designed for the occasion. The Ramirez Guitarra del Tiempo features a solid red cedar top or solid spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides, cedar neck with ebony fingerboard and rosewood bridge. A very exclusive guitar and a special model for collectors. Guitar case included.

The Camps M16 guitar. Stunning classical concert guitar from Camps Guitars. Attention has been paid to every detail of this magnificent instrument. The purfling on the top and back in contrasting tones adds to the truly lovely visual accents of this instrument. And the rosette is simply exquisite.  As well as the aesthetically pleasing tonal palette, the dynamic range of this model is second to none; it is perfectly balanced and has excellent sustain.
The ergonomic neck is extremely comfortable. The truss rod inside offers two significant advantages: it makes it possible to build the guitar with a narrower neck, making the instrument more ergonomic, whilst protecting it from excessive bowing at the same time. Guitar case included.

The José Miguel Moreno C guitar series was developed and made in collaboration with guitarist and luthier José Miguel Moreno and is a fine example of one of the most advanced contemporary guitars in the Alhambra catalogue. José Miguel has created an instrument that transmits feeling, as well as precision, balance, power and projection.

As a result of the meticulous design of the bracing, and the superb woods chosen for the top, the José Miguel Moreno C guitar series offers an extraordinary sound response. It is a very obliging instrument and responds beautifully to both a firm and gentle touch. The range of expression is huge and it has astonishing harmonic potential. Intelligence, knowledge, experience, and exquisite woods were the four main ingredients used to design this guitar. Add to that a large pinch of determination: like every other luthier at Alhambra, José Miguel Moreno dedicates his life to the search for perfection.

The instrument itself is exquisite. José Miguel Moreno chose the world-class cedar used for the top, as well as the Indian rosewood for the back and sides. The combination of tones achieves an elegant and modern aesthetic.
