José Ramirez – 1971
José Ramirez – 1971
Overview
Overview
José Ramirez III’s guitars gained an international reputation during the 1960s through Andrés Segovia and his many students. Starting from 1965, J. Ramirez started to develop a new instrument built with a “Western Red Cedar” top and featuring doubled sides (rosewood and cypress). This revolutionary new way to build guitars and the use of this new material spread in the guitar world very quickly, as Andrés Segovia played several J. Ramirez III as his main concert instruments. Segovia played four instruments for a lengthy period of time [1962 (but dated 1963), spruce, 1965, 1967, 1969 (all three cedar)], and Christopher Parkening, his American student, is still enthusiastically speaking about the 1967 “Bach guitar” built by M. Tezanos. The generally used scale length of the Ramirez guitars of this time was 66,5 cm and the fretboard was slightly arched.
This guitar was built in 1971 and has a cedar top and stunning CITES-certified Brazilian rosewood back and sides. The ample basses are very strong, warm and responsive. The balance between bass and treble is excellent and the sympathetic resonances are supporting the mediums to give a very complete instrument. The guitar is in near original mint condition with only a very few superficial playing marks. Altogether, the original condition of this guitar and its beautiful sound makes it very interesting for both players and collectors. The tuning machines are made by Fustero. The original hard-shell case is included.

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.Look all products of the collection -
