Overview

The 1974 B. Vincent-Genod concert guitar is a Parisian-built instrument crafted in the tradition of José Ramírez III, reflecting the distinctive design and bracing concepts of that era. With a spruce top and striking Brazilian rosewood back and sides, it offers both visual elegance and the tonal depth associated with classic Spanish guitars. Its voice is powerful and direct, with clarity, sustain, and a pronounced resonance around G# that adds presence to its tonal core. Slightly softer in character than many Ramírez guitars of the 1970s, it provides warmth alongside projection, while the neck profile enhances comfort and playability. Well preserved in excellent condition with no structural issues and still housed in its original case, this guitar stands as a refined example of Vincent-Genod’s craftsmanship and a compelling alternative to contemporary Ramírez models.

More details about the guitar

About the luthier:

B. Vincent-Genod was an active guitar maker in Paris during the 1970s, known for instruments inspired by the influential designs of José Ramírez III. His guitars reflect the aesthetics and construction features typical of the Spanish tradition, particularly the plantilla and bracing systems popularized by Ramírez during this period. Although less widely documented than other French and Spanish luthiers of his generation, Vincent-Genod’s work shows a high level of craftsmanship and remains valued among players and collectors seeking the character of the classic Ramírez sound in a well-preserved instrument from the same era.

About the guitar:

This 1974 guitar was built in the style of José Ramírez III, complete with the distinctive plantilla and characteristic bracing pattern of that era. It features a spruce top combined with beautifully figured Brazilian rosewood back and sides, certified under CITES. The lacquer finish has aged with a warm, reddish hue that accentuates the natural qualities of the wood. With a scale length of 653 mm and a nut width of 51.5 mm, the guitar offers the traditional dimensions associated with Ramírez models of the 1970s. The sound is powerful, direct, and unmistakably Spanish, with clarity and sustain across all registers. Compared to original Ramírez III guitars, this example is noted for its slightly softer tone and a neck profile that enhances comfort and playability. Its air resonance lies around G#, adding presence to its tonal core, while maintaining brightness and projection. The instrument demonstrates the influence of Ramírez in this period.

Condition:

The guitar is in excellent condition, with no cracks or repairs. Its structure, finish, and playability have been carefully preserved. It is offered in its original case, which shows signs of age but remains fully functional.

While this one is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitar

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
