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 Alhambra Luthier India Montcabrer Nitro is a limited-edition guitar, reminiscent of the Spanish temperament, with a powerful sound and deep bass and bright trebles, all in superb balance. Made with vintage woods more than 30 years old, the Luthier India Montcabrer model is easily distinguishable by the exquisite Indian rosewood used for the back and sides of the guitar, which is how this world-class instrument got its name. The top is made of beautiful red cedar, and has a polished finish. Workmanship is, of course, to the highest standards: an art piece. Case included. Optional: Alhambra 9650 and 9270 ICONIC.

Jose Maria Vilaplana (JMV) has been the master luthier at Alhambra for more than 35 years; he started building guitars with his father when he was only 16 years old, and is one of the founders of Alhambra guitars. There are several models built by him and they are sold under his name as signature guitars, rather than under the Alhambra name. 

A maestro of great patience, JMV dedicated much time analyzing the past history of guitar making, as well as investigating the present moment of this noble art, with the objective of designing the finest of instruments imaginable. Following in the footsteps of the brilliant guitarist and luthier from Málaga, Antonio Torres, he succeeded in his objective, with his JMV Serie NT: this instrument has a breath-taking sound quality, which is all-enveloping and both powerful and delicate. It is no surprise that this is the instrument of choice of many of the world’s greatest performers.

The José María Vilaplana Serie NT features solid red cedar top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, Spanish cedar neck, (internally reinforced with ebony), and luxurious gold-plated head tuners. Exquisite French polish finish. A very exclusive guitar for the most exacting guitarist. Alhambra by BAM guitar case 9568 included. Alhambra by BAM AB ICONIC 9270 as an option.

The Alhambra Luthier Aniversario guitar is at the top of the series of 50th Anniversary commemorative models made to celebrate Alhambra Guitars’ half century, some ten years ago now. The new Luthier model features a solid cedar top and a breathtaking solid ziricote body which gives it a vibrant personality and unusual beauty. The sound is superb: an unparalelled harmonic richness combined with precise tuning make it the perfect instrument to grace any auditorium or concert hall in the world. Lush rosewood headstock, ebony fingerboard, luxury tuners, and detail on the bridge to match the rosette. This is a limited-edition guitar, and is an excellent opportunity for collectors. Every Alhambra Luthier Aniversario guitar is unique: the patterns in the wood are exclusive to each instrument. Case included. Optional: Alhambra 9650 and 9270 ICONIC.

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.
